Is there a difference between 5 and 5T???

I am getting a gift for a little girl at our church and the gift tag only reads size 5. I got her a hoodie that is a 5t and realized it might not be the same

Re: Is there a difference between 5 and 5T???

it's not the same

5T is 5 Toddler
5 is young girls

5T is a smidge smaller than 5. I think 5T is the last it goes in Toddler sizes, then it jumps to 4, 5, 6 for young girls.

So 4 (young girls) and 5T are almost the same


Let's try this for a visual:

2T...3T...4T...5T (toddler sizes)
.....................4.... 5....6.... 7 (young girls)


hope you aren't confused
