I find buying one size up works great because the nappy lifts the legs on trousers so reduces how long they are too, plus you can always roll them up. Ethel Austin sell baby knickers that go over tots bots (i know because thats what Thea wears too most of the time).

www.cut4cloth.co.uk have beautiful clothes too but can be pricey but check them often as they put things in the sale. Their vests are well worth paying the extra for thougH!

This bugs me too as we have had to put away a lot of clothes that Evie could still be wearing if her cloth nappies wernt so bulky . As Melanie said, i just get the next size up in trousers for her, and we get most of her clothes from NEXT.

Jake is in 0-3 size clothes at the mo which fit him fine. Sorry thats not helpful at all is it?

I have founbd that tesco and sainsbury's trousers are fab for cloth bums, buit I guess it depends on the build of your baby (mine was always a skinny minnie). I always bought bigger sizes and rolled up the legs.

I've managed to get a few Cut4cloth bits 2nd hand, they come up on Ebay sometimes

Other than that, I just buy bigger. Stanley is mainly in joggers or jersey shorts rather than jeans, although I've found a really soft denim pair in Sainsburies, so have bought 3 sizes!

At least with girls, they can wear cute tights and skirts

Thanks girls - I'll keep an eye out for cut4cloth clothes on eBay - I'll probably be bidding against you all!

Minxy - that's a good point about the fact she's a girl and can wear tights and skirts - it's just that we've been given such lovely smock and trouser outfits etc all in 0-3 and I'll be gutted if she can't wear them.

Thanks again everyone.

hey valentine,
I just found this page on the nappy lady website relating to this, it mentions cut4cloth and a few other ideas -

we put alana in bigger size clothes and buy trousers that are stretchy. like jogging bottoms.

I am glad you asked about this - I have the same problem with Grace and it drives me mad...

she has some lovely matching outfits - the tops are fine but she can't get into the bottoms - it is so frustrating

it hasn't been too bad over the summer as she has been in dresses for most of the time, but now winter is around the corner

will look at the www sites suggested and have a wee look on ebay

 

[paradysso]

for girls it is easier as in winter u can keep them in dresses and buy a bigger pair of tights..

Hi Valentine,

I actually run an online store selling clothes for cloth bums etc....I can give anyone the web address if they PM me.

I am often cheaper than ebay and I can even offer discount to forum users - don't want to openly advertise so a PM is probably best.
