I didn't buy the club shorts outfit, but I did buy the club outfit with the purple skirt. The waistline is big and I will probably have to take it in for my slim daughter. It didn't really shrink, either. I have found the the AG tops run true to size for my DD, but the waistlines have been big in everything I purchased. DD normally wears a 10/12 or a medium. She is 11 years old. I just bought the white beach capris and I had to buy her a small or size 8 and I bought the top in a medium. Luckily, I was at the outlet and she could try the clothes on. The beach capris were even a bit big in the waist. I also found the waist big in the green skirt from the old meet outfit and the pink skirt from the Petal Pink outfit. Hope this helps a little even though it doesn't really answer your question. For my DD, I like the pants that have that interior adjustable waistband with the buttons. It leaves room for growth but in the mean time, the pants don't droop down.
