Low inter-rater reliability

Incidentally, I've been noticing that in terms of baby clothes sizes, one company's "12 months" is smaller than another company's 3-6 month, while some 3-6 month clothes fit Pierson fine and other 6-9 month clothes are too small.

There appears to be low inter-rater reliability among different clothing makers when it comes to baby sizes.

    Hmmmm... pretty deep Peter :) It does not change as they get older. Especially shoes, I cannot by shoes for my daughters unless they are there to try them on - or by three pairs (one size smaller, the size I believe shes in, and one size larger) then take the two back that aren't right. Ughh.... welcome to parenting - just be glad he's a boy, this kinda stuff gets really finicky with little girls!
