In short
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 7, Converse Kids, Garnet Hill, Polo Ralph Lauren Kids cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Macy's Epic Threads number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

Fit & the transitions that trip parents up
Macy's Epic Threads-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.
Runs true, with long legs
About seven in ten parents mark Epic Threads true to size; waists fit as labelled, but the leggings, joggers and wide-leg pants run long — a plus for a tall, slim kid and a cuff-it-up situation otherwise.

What shoppers say about the fit
Community consensus
Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurementThis is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Macy's Epic Threads’ own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.
Epic Threads runs true to size, with legs that run a little long. On Macy’s fit scale roughly seven in ten parents mark Epic Threads items true to size, and the remainder lean slightly toward ‘runs large’ rather than small. The pattern in the text is consistent: waists fit as labelled, but leggings, joggers and wide-leg pants run long — a plus for tall, slim kids and a cuff-it-up situation for shorter ones — and a few parents found the boys’ joggers and girls’ woven pants big enough to return. A handful say the brand ‘usually runs a little small’ on tops, so it is closer to a split than a rule there. Fabric is lightweight: the core leggings are the item most often called thin.
Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.
Should you buy Macy's Epic Threads?
Consider it if…
- You shop Macy's sales and coupons — parents on Reddit and Macy's describe Epic Threads as the 'deep discount' buy that's soft, cute and cheap enough to be play clothes.
- You have a tall, slim kid — true-to-size waists with longer legs on leggings and pants are the recurring fit note.
- You want soft, dressier-than-basics looks — tutu dresses, smocked dresses and knit denim get high marks for softness and prints, and some parents say pieces hold up for hand-me-downs.
Think twice if…
- You want heavyweight everyday leggings — the core leggings are repeatedly called thin (an imprinted tag shows through some colours).
- Your child is short for their age — pants and leggings run long; plan to cuff or size down in length.
- You're buying outside a sale — parents consistently frame the quality as fair for the discounted price, not the list price.
Skip the cross-referencing — let Little & Youth do it.

Does Epic Threads run big or small?
Mostly true to size — about 71% of Macy's fit votes say so, with the rest leaning slightly large (17%) over small (13%). The clearest consistent note is length: leggings and pants run long. Tops are closer to a split, with a few parents saying the brand 'usually runs a little small'.
Should I size up in Epic Threads leggings?
No — order her usual size. Parents say the core leggings are true to size in the waist and already long in the leg, so sizing up mainly adds length. Size up only if you want growing room.
Is Epic Threads good quality?
Fair for the price rather than premium. The most common knock is thin fabric on the leggings; on the plus side, several parents say dresses and knit denim wash well and survive a second child. Buy on sale and treat it as everyday play clothing.
Did Epic Threads change its sizing?
A Macy's employee on Reddit said the brand was relaunching with 'new sizing, updated logo and redesigned product' (2024). Reviews since then still run true to size, but check the size chart on each item rather than relying on older pieces you own.
What measurements do I need to size Macy's Epic Threads accurately?
Macy's Epic Threads publishes height, weight, chest, waist, hip in its size chart. Height is the primary driver, and the chest/waist figures let you confirm body fit for a child between sizes.
Do Macy's Epic Threads boys’ and girls’ sizes fit the same?
From the bigger sizes up, Macy's Epic Threads publishes separate girls’ and boys’ charts, so the same number can differ by gender. The figures on this page use Macy's Epic Threads’ girls’/unisex chart.
Where do I buy Macy's Epic Threads?
Macy's Epic Threads is sold on its own site and through select retailers.
