My daugher usually wears size 4 but is really lean and long in the torso so I ordered a larger size.  Fit is really good and she might be able to wear it a little next year too.  She does wear a sweater under neath it mostly because I am a freak about her playing outside in the cold.  Hood fits nice without obscuring her view.  We haven't washed it yet because all the the spots have been easy to wipe with a cloth.  I would definately buy this brand again.
