Clothing misadventures

One of our ongoing challenges in shopping is finding clothes that fit.  I've had a hard time with the European sizing labels.  Some are numbers, some are S M L XL, but none of them are US-equivalent.  Delaney has done the most clothes shopping and because she is so tall, she almost doesn't fit in many of the children's clothing, especially in the shoes.  She wears a woman's size 7 US!  To add to the challenge, Delaney is rather picky about how clothing feels on her body.  The need to find larger underwear (which you cannot try on in most stores), resulted in us purchasing at least 4 pairs that were deemed "unsatisfactory" before finally finding some that don't cause a screaming fit.  Although this was cause to celebrate, they are 'Barbie' which would be very low on my selection list if I had any choice at all.  Oh well.  [My apologies to Delaney for discussing her unmentionables...I'm sure the rest of the family will have similar set backs, but we've avoided doing much clothes shopping thus far.  With spring on the way, however, we will need some warm weather clothes since we only brought winter gear with us.]
