Size 6 vs. 6X?

What's the deal with this?

Why is there a 6x in between 6 and 7?

And why not a 5x or a 4x or a 7x?

I was just in Kohl's and bought a few of the Jumping Bean brand t shirts for my DD on sale. The 6's looked a drop small so I grabbed a 7, then I saw they had 6x as well

6x seemed perfect (right in between the 6 and the 7) but it got me thinking- why did they do this?
Like what is the point of a 6x? It's like a half size but only for between 6 and 7.

Very strange.

Anyone know?

I found this interesting article.

I also recently realized that Kohls has a 7x in Jumping Beans for boys - which makes me happy so I have some more time using their pants and shorts!

Thank you!
This makes sense a bit more now.
She definitely needs larger tops than pants. Her waist is still tiny but she needs the length in the tops so this makes even more sense

Target has 6x too. I've been buying 6x and 7 for my DD.

I found 6x to be super wide. Dd is 70% for height and 65% for weight. She just wore 6 then 7.

I think 6x is a little wider than a 6, but not as long as a 7. I guess these girls tend to pack on some extra pounds in first grade ;)

I always thought the X meant its wider. I didn't realize it wasn't in the other sizes. That is strange. My dd is a tall stringbean, so 6x tends to look like a tent on her. She's only 4 and just about ready for size 7 already bc she's so tall.

I felt like the sizes were fine up until 8. There was a 6, 6X, 7/8 and then it jumps to 10/12. Shouldn't it be 9/10 and then 11/12, etc., just like in adult sizes? My DD was too big for the 7/8, but too short for the 10/12 for the longest time! She seems to have grown into the 10/12, but she looked ridiculous for quite a while!

This has been a huge problem for us. My DD totally out grew size 7/8, but size 10/12 is HUGE on her. She has hardly any clothes that fit her. She needs an inbetween size like a 9.
