English term or phrase: between sizes
Gary made our shopping trip a great experience. We were shopping for a suit for our son for his 8th-grade graduation and he is in between sizes. Gary went out of his way to take the time to listen to what my son wanted and gave us some information about suits.

Estar entre dos tallas


Explanation:
Es cuando estás en medio de dos tallas. Cuando por ejemplo la talla 2 te queda chica pero la 3 te queda grande. O cuando estás embarazada y la ropa normal te queda muy apretada pero la más pequeña de maternidad te queda enorme.
