Well, I took a gamble and ordered the girls' elephant skirt in a size 16 from J. Crew, despite my reservations. The fact that J. Crew offers free shipping on kids' items made it all the more enticing and less of a risk. When my child sized pachyderm skirt finally arrived at my doorstep, I was pleasantly surprised that the fit was perfect. Here are some differences I observed between the adult and girls' version of the skirt: first, the girls' version is fuller than the straight, mini style of the adult version and the girls' also has an elastic "pull-on" waist. The length on the girls' version is longer than the women's, which makes it more appropriate for work. (Go figure!) The icing on the cake is that the girls' version was about half the price of the adult skirt!
All in all I would highly recommend checking out the kids'/girls' section of J. Crew. The styles are super cute and will probably fit you if you are in the 00-4 adult-size range. Now I am a convert and I'll be checking out the J. Crew kids' section a little more closely in the future!

Thank you Victoria! I hope you have a fabulous night too!
DeleteNice! I've never purchased from the girl's section but lots of petite bloggers do it. So happy it worked out for you; the skirt is too cute!

Yes, I've seen some of the petite bloggers get kids' stuff which is why I wasn't sure if it would work for me (I'm not petite), but this skirt was pretty long. I would love to check out your linkup this week! Thanks for letting me know!
DeleteI never think to check the girls section! I love that skirt! Such a fun pattern!
