We are OG A+A fans, but this was our first Juliet! I love how this is a bit dressier, and was perfect for Easter. My daughter is long and lean and 2.5. We purchased the 3, but it was a bit wide on the shoulders. I always late flat to dry, however, if we are ever between sizes like this I will dry and it then becomes the perfect fit. If you like sizing, don’t dry-they will shrink!
