Quick answer
The Mini Oversized Ruffle Top runs true to size, but because it's a crop top that hits under the bust, your child's torso length and chest measurement matter more than age. Use the steps below to measure and pick the right size.
Why the Mini Oversized Ruffle Top fits differently
This top is designed as a crop top that typically hits right under the bust, which means it's shorter than a full swimsuit top. The gathered giant ruffle in front adds visual volume but does not change the fit of the elastic band around the top and bottom.
Because the top relies on elastic for fit, it can accommodate some variation in chest size, but the thin adjustable shoulder straps let you fine-tune the length. If your child is between sizes, consider how much torso coverage you prefer and whether the elastic will feel snug or loose.
How to measure and choose the right size
- Measure the chest and torso: Use a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, then from the shoulder down to where you want the top to end (typically under the bust). Compare these numbers to the Kortni Jeane size chart. Common mistake: relying on age alone can lead to a too-short or too-loose fit. Always measure, even if your child wears the same age size in other brands.
- Check the size chart for Youth sizes: The Mini Oversized Ruffle Top is available in sizes 10/11 and 12/13 in the Youth Ladies category. If your child's chest measurement falls near the top of a size range, size up for a little more room. Common mistake: assuming a larger size means more length—this top is a crop style regardless of size.
- Adjust the straps and test the elastic: After putting the top on, pull the thin shoulder straps to a comfortable length so the elastic band sits snug but not tight. The elastic around the top and bottom should stay in place without digging in. Common mistake: over-tightening straps thinking it will fix a loose elastic band. If the elastic feels too loose on the loosest strap setting, the size is too big.
- Use the Fit Finder for extra help: Kortni Jeane offers a fit finder tool on the product page. Answer a few questions about your child's measurements and fit preference to get a size recommendation. Common mistake: skipping this tool when between sizes—it can confirm whether to size up or down. Contact customer service directly if the fit finder doesn't clarify.
