Does this run small? And, does it shrink? I'm 4'10" and 90 lbs. If I order the Size 1, will I be OK? My last size 1 (different manufacturer) shrunk to a children's size

It seems to run big, because I ordered the 0 for my 4 year thinking it was going to be just right but I had to take it in by 4 folds. Oddly enough the waistline is just right but everything else is too big. Hope this helps.

This kind runs tall and skinny, but I am a much larger girl. It did not shrink as bad as the heavy ones do. I would still never put it in the dryer, just hang dry.

I can attest that the ProForce sizing chart was 100% accurate. This was my original review: 5.0 out of 5 stars Careful of the sizing, April 1, 2013 By Donna Anderson - See all my reviews Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ProForce 5oz. Ultra Lightweight Student Uniform (Misc.) Even though sizing is supposed to be standard, I've had trouble finding a size for my son. Seems the 00 size I want is huge from some places. The size 00 from ProForce that I ordered fit perfect for my son..and matched the ProForce sizing chart EXACTLY. I had ordered a size 00 through the studio we go to and it was huge! Not sure why there was such a large difference in size. Anyways, just wanted to comment that the ProForce size chart was completely accurate and the gi fit awesome.

No it doesn't run small. Just make sure you take the proper measurements as directed and won't have any problems with the fitting. They are a great product and I highly recommend them.

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps

Go with a size 7. Wash cold water and hang dry see how it fits. It will shrink a lot if you wash in hot water and dry it.

fits my 11y/o who is 115# no problem UPdate: I see the other answer said they run small, not sure if that other person knows it expands? So I would say it might go up to fit a small man?

They do shrink a little. If you need to get smaller size, get medium (not small). Medium that I have fits find on my 29lb one but starting to get a little snug for my 33lb one. I got a large for her and I think after a couple of time of washing/drying, it will work okay.

Have only washed a few times and no shrinking noticed. Washes fine as far as I could tell. The towel is nearly perfect. Just get the right size and you'll be fine.

I had no shrinkage. I purchased an oversized queen duvet at bed bath and beyond. It w works great. Hope this helps. I do solo love the colors in this set.

there was a sizing chart when I got my suit. It runs smaller than usual. I wear a size 2 or 4 and I ordered a med. and it fit good. I wash it but do not dry in dryer

Don't get this one, the fit is not very good. Try Fuji, the size chart will be accurate and they are around $90. I've had a Fuji Gi for 3 years now and its holding up well, no shrinkage. As with all Gi's wash in cold water and hang to dry...no machine. I'm 5'-7" and an A2 fits me well.

The best advice I can offer is to read all the comments re sizing from people who commented there. I followed their advice and mine fit perfectly. Now as to whether it is comfortable and works...my advice is to save your money. It is durable, solid and seems like it would work, but comfortable it is not!

I brought one in a store for my son before. He was smaller then he has gotten a little muscle since. So I just got one size up. They shrink in the washer but they adjust to fit once they are put on.

Hi Howard, I would think a Large would work because it does shrink a bit, I wear xlarge 511 225 lbs, so as far as i know when i have ordered 5 now in total they ship large to me which is supposedly an XL. Good luck they are a nice comfortable shirt!

I wear a size 4 and the small was perfect. I don't think they run small...more true to the size. Good luck, wish I could help you more. They washed beautifully and there was no shrinkage.

Hey bigman, I would recommend a Fuji Gi, they are only a little more money than this Gi and will not shrink like this cheaper type after washing. You 'will' sweat a lot in this heavy weight Gi, especially in the summer, so I would try a light weight Gi if possible. The Fuji Gi sizes are much more accurate. This Gi was too big for me and then shrunk a lot after washing. Always wash any Gi in cold water only and hang dry...no machine dry. Look on the name brand Gi size charts for the right fit. I'm 5'-7" 155lbs and an A2 Fuji Gi is perfect for me. The tops of this type of Gi can be a bit long (more like a Judo Gi), so its worth spending around $90 for a Fuji or Venum, I've been much happier with those two brands. Cheaper generic Gi's don't fit well and shrink...big time. Good luck

It is 100% unshrunk cotton. IT WILL SHRINK. How much depends of how it is washed and dried. Cold wash + hang dry = minimum shrinkage. Hot wash + hot dryer = max shrinkage. I bought a Size 0 expecting it to shrink. It started off slightly too big, and now it is too small. It shrank ~4" in the pant leg and ~4" sleeve length after hot wash and hot dryer. If planning to shrink it, definitely start incrementally.

Yes, it runs small. I ordered a 7-8 for when my son was 5 year olds and it was just a little big. He was about 42 inches at the time. Hope this helps
