Does anyone know if and how clothing and shoes sizes differ from the U.S.A?
My husband and I are coming to Sosua in March. Would like to bring some clothes and other things for a friend's little girls. He lives in Charamicos. Girls range from 12 months to 5 years of age.

Well, in general WE Dominicans tend to be larger than Americans...Sorry couldn't resist!!!

The DR uses the metric system and for clothes I believe the european system where shoe sizes are 40 instead of 9 for instance. Nowdays, so many people go from here thought that people are also familiar with US sizes.
