I ordered this dress for my six year old who is roughly 50 inches tall and 48 pounds.  She is tall and thin for her age.  She typically wears a size 7, mainly for length, and can wear smaller sizes in skirts and dresses.  Based on the sizing chart provided, I ordered a 5/6.  The bodice is too wide.  I'm concerned about simply taking in the sides because the armholes seem large. I will try to get a smaller size because my daughter loves this dress, but they don't make a 5 (we have a 5/6 apparently but the tag only says 6), so I must get a 4, which seems strange for an almost 7-year old.
