Especially when people ask what size he's wearing to buy him gifts. </p> <p>Also pants, all the legs are so long in my guy, but a smaller size and the waiste is too tight. I have to roll the bottoms of almost all his pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397477 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:32:14 +0000 twinmama 1397477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are boys clothes twice as big as girls clothes that are the exact same size and brand?!</p> <p>Seriously, I bought 2T hoodies for both my kids at target, and my daughters is half the size of my sons. I had to get her a 4T to get the same actual dimensions as his. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397470 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:30:45 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1397470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: hmm...I'll have to look for those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397456 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:27:34 +0000 Smurfette 1397456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Yeah R can't wear 12 months either. Some 9 months Carters fall of her and other fir great. Then BG fits her good but ON are getting tight. I don't get the sizing!</p> <p>R had a pair of Carter's jeans, 6 months, that were adjustable. She just out grew the length but they still fit her. In fact I might make them capri's this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397443 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:24:28 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1397443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: A couple brands do, but most start in later sizes, like @dagret: mentioned, and Finn can't wear 9-12 month yet. In fact, he was in 6-9 months, but they now slip off since he is so active the last couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397437 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:21:28 +0000 fancyfunction 1397437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yes, so true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397372 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:59:16 +0000 jetsa 1397372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm dying over it like trying to button a fish LOL. I can picture exactly what you mean. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397360 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:53:51 +0000 dagret 1397360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: This! I've found Childrens Place elastic pants to fit my string bean pretty well. And their adjustable waists start at 9-12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397345 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:49:21 +0000 Smurfette 1397345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Don't certain brands have the elastic to tighten at the waist? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397328 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:42:57 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1397328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are there not "tall and skinny" sizes??? My kid looks ridiculous walking around with his pants either (1) falling off completely, (2) pinned with a safety pin, or (3) rolled at the waist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397322 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:39:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 1397322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: @Smurfette: I have recently decided that clothes should never have buttons or snaps on the back until baby can sit up. Before that it's like trying to button a fish or something!</p> <p>Dh not only skipped the buttons, he occasionally out the whole onesie on backwards too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397306 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:32:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 1397306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ocean girl: awwwww! My 17 month old wears 12 month sizes in Carter's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397260 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:15:59 +0000 avivoca 1397260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carters: The tops in the sets fit H, but the bottoms are way too small. They honestly only would fit a string bean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397259 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:15:07 +0000 Bao 1397259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Carter's and that's pretty much all she wears but yes I have noticed on some of the leggings they are tight on the ankles, too large on the waist, and also some thing that are supposed to be the same size are completely different sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397254 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:10:59 +0000 Smurfette 1397254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: Yes! The buttons on the back of the onesies from BG are hard sometimes. DH doesn't even do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397253 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:10:13 +0000 Smurfette 1397253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Maybe she is trying to get you to name the baby Curious George.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397250 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:09:56 +0000 fancyfunction 1397250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate snaps and unnecessary decorative buttons. Many BG tops have buttons at the nape of the neck that are really hard to close sometimes. And zippers on one-pieces are so much easier than snaps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397248 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:08:23 +0000 Dandelion 1397248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: all my mil buys is stuff with words on it. That and she seems to have this idea that I love monkeys(?) So all my baby stuff from her has a monkey on it. I don't wanna botber correcting her. DH and I just chuckle when she gives me more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397242 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:05:47 +0000 Smurfette 1397242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @Dandelion: When I have shopped for boys, I find it hard too. Why does there have to words on everything? Or it is stripes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397239 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:01:25 +0000 Ocean girl 1397239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why is my 5mth old in 12mth Carter's/OshKosh sizes. So many cute summer outfits bought last year that are never going to fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397216 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 08:43:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 1397216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a Carter's fleece hooded sweatshirt and pants outfit- the sweatshirt will not go over C's head! Everything else is still big too, and she doesn't have that big of a head. The pants are nice at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397150 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:45:05 +0000 Smurfette 1397150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I agree 6-9 and 9-12 would be so much better!<br /> @MsLipGloss: She has two one piece outfits from Carter and one is too short and one still fits? Huh? They are the same size.<br /> The ankles kill me though cause I have to stop putting her in pants that fit cause they are so tight on the ankles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397147 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:42:06 +0000 Adira 1397147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Agreed!!!!! It's so hard to find cute boy things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397142 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:35:29 +0000 Dandelion 1397142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just hate how it's hard to find really interesting boy clothing. Everything is so geared towards girls, even sites like Steals. It's rare to find good boy clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397124 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:09:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 1397124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I'm a little glad this time. There were a couple of outfits I forgot about (tucked away in drawers) until a few weeks ago! :P</p> <p>@heffalump: I don't know! Maybe to show off bloomers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397121 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:02:46 +0000 heffalump 1397121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are skirts so short for little girls? Lo is tall so her tushy shows in every skirt her size. I put leggings on her too.... But it's hot so it would be nice to just have the skirt on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397119 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:00:33 +0000 delight 1397119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: well at least they'll last a long time! But I'm sad at 6m the one pieces are all way too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397116 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 06:52:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 1397116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: my LO can still wear BG 6-12 month clothes at 17 months!</p> <p>@Smurfette: I really love Carters's clothes, but some of the skinny jeans/leggings are tight at the ankles! But size wise, I feel like they fit LO best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397110 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 06:45:00 +0000 delight 1397110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate how every store fits differently. I also dislike how old navy and gap have 6-12 month sizes. At 6m, these items are huge on her! I wouldn't mind a couple gap 6-9 outfits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-rant#post-1397103 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 06:25:41 +0000 petunia354 1397103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>why are the neckholes on old navy shirts so small?! </p>
