Clothes for Stringbeans?

[jr009j]

Does anyone have any recommendations for clothing brands that work better for tall and skinny infants?

At 4 months, DD is at the top end of the size charts heightwise for 3-6 month clothes, but at the bottom end weightwise. All of her pants are too short and her rompers are getting too short, but everything looks like sails on her. Thank goodness for dresses.

I have a super skinny toddler and I really like Levi's skinny jeans. He is a boy so I am not sure how the girls Levi's fit but it could be worth a try.

it's hard at that age, but DD wears a lot of dresses and leggings. Once she got a little bigger we turned pants into capris and shorts. Gymboree and gap don't work great for us, but target, carter's and ON are okay.

DS is pretty tall, Carters fits him well. (he's also on the high end for weight so maybe Carters would be too wide?)

Carter's or target brand work for my stringbean. Also Crazy8 (gymboree's other brand) runs skinnier than regular Gymboree clothes.

Another vote for Carter's.

Heartstrings has pants that are adjustable on the inside.

It looks like I'll be going to Carter's this weekend. Thanks!

You don't necessarily need to go to the Carters store. I'm able to find Carters all over: Target, Kohls, Walmart, JC Penney. So far it all seems pretty much the same, different color & pattern options but similar fit in my experience.

What area of the country are you in? Fred Meyer/Kroger's carries a line called Kids Corner.

My toddler has always been tall and thin. The pants are very long and built slim.

I'm in Nebraska. I wonder if Bakers, which is the Kroger's store, carries it. I'll have to look into that. Thanks

My DD is 90% for height and 20% for weight. Old Navy clothes fit her best. At that age DD was wearing their 6-12 month size.

Carters and OshKosh B'gosh now make pants that have a button on the inside with elastic so that you can make the waist smaller. Its virtually the only pants that will stay up on DS. I agree with Levi's skinny's though too.
