In some ways you're probably better off being so far from temptation :) We try to get out once a day, and I'm slowly trying to make those outings to the library or the park instead of to a cute baby clothes store, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893908 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:16:15 +0000 allison 893908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: ooh, those are cute, but they'd be way too long for my LO. I haven't even looked at Gap lately because their prices are usually higher than ON. I'm about to look now, though! And I just ordered 4 of those shorts in 2 sizes from ON. I hope they work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893902 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:14:35 +0000 allison 893902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Haha. I love ordering from Old Navy these days. I end up sending most everything back, but I get the satisfaction of shopping! I live an hour away from the nearest shopping, so I can't just run to the store. And when we do go to "town", DH HATES shopping and is always rushing me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893895 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:13:05 +0000 immabeetoo 893895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: We've never tried Gap shorts for boys but these are soo cute <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=95681&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=575253002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=95681&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=575253002</a></p> <p>Their free returns are easy too; I just got a big order &amp; sent everything back that didn't fit (for me, not baby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893890 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:10:37 +0000 immabeetoo 893890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I LOVE the green &amp; yellow. Love. I wish I'd never clicked this thread because now I want to order some, and we need nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893865 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:00:59 +0000 allison 893865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: they have an adjustable waistband, too! I think I'm going to order. What colors do you think I could get away with? I like the blue, but they don't have his size. Green, maybe?</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=51661&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=381674002" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=51661&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=381674002</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893862 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:59:57 +0000 looch 893862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those look unisex, but they would be too short on my son. And you know what, i have a thing with guys in shorts that are too short. I kind of think you're better with length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893858 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:58:16 +0000 immabeetoo 893858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I'm probably not a good one to ask, because I happily dress my little guy in pinks and purples but those shorts look 100% unisex to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893841 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:52:47 +0000 allison 893841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @looch: Okay, give it to me straight: are these shorts girly?</p> <p>ETA: I guess my only concern is the cuff. Are cuffs a girl-only thing?</p> <p>[attach=2648/13/mp49s0.450x600.onshorts1.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893823 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:47:58 +0000 looch 893823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am seriously dying over the manpris! My son wears the shorts long, but you know what, they save his knees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893818 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:46:14 +0000 allison 893818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I've thought about looking at girl shorts, too. I think that's going to be my next move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893806 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:43:31 +0000 immabeetoo 893806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: My mom always makes fun of LO's "manpris" because we have the same problem. I've found that girl's shorts actually fit better because they're about an inch shorter (at least at Target) if you remove the bows or embellishments. We've stuck with knit since he became mobile though... I felt so guilty one day when I was wondering why he wasn't sitting up... turns out the woven shorts and the fluffy diaper made it impossible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893713 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:19:11 +0000 looch 893713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: awww, don't be sad! it's just his body type! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893637 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:06:20 +0000 allison 893637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I tried the poplin ones, actually! They didn't fit :(. Too tight. I guess I could go up a size and hem those, maybe. I'm already buying 6-12 month stuff, though. It makes me so sad to buy even bigger than that for a 5 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893608 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:00:47 +0000 looch 893608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: if the jersey ones work for you, they also have some poplin ones, they're what i send my son to day care in pretty much everyday. They wash perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893600 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 12:59:53 +0000 tysonja 893600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: oh that is true -- i hadn't thought of that :) i hope you can find some that you like! i agree with the children's place having some shorter shorts that might work! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893593 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 12:57:44 +0000 allison 893593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: yeah, I've thought about that. But all the ones I have/ have tried have pockets or are overalls that snap at the crotch. I'm sure I'll be doing this come fall/winter, though.</p> <p>@looch: I haven't tried those. I was hoping for a couple pairs of "nicer" shorts to wear out. He just wears onesies and t-shirts around the house. But if I don't find what I'm looking for, I'm probably going to just go with some more casual stretchy ones. I'll check the ON jersey ones out then. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893456 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 12:10:35 +0000 tysonja 893456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>perhaps you or someone you know could do some simple hemming on a pair of shorts that fit in the bum/waist? :) </p> <p>or you could just take a pair of scissors to them and go for the cut-off style :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893442 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 12:04:03 +0000 looch 893442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried the jersey shorts from Old Navy? My son wears them, he has the same issue with having a super long torso and short legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893436 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 12:01:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 893436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: their waist does tend to run big. they have adjustable elastic/buttons on the inside which i have to pull to almost the smallest size for both kids. so it's worth a try since it's free shipping, and they're having a sale right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893392 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:47:24 +0000 allison 893392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Wahhh. Ok, thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893381 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:43:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 893381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>zara tends to have a slimmer fit since it's european, and i find their bottoms run long. charlie wears their size 2-3 in bottoms, and olive wears 9-12 months and she's 20 months now and on the taller side. not sure about baby sizes though.</p> <p>i find children's place to be looser -- maybe try them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-zara-baby-boy-bottoms-fit#post-893376 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:41:48 +0000 allison 893376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't seem to find shorts for summer for my hefty 5 month old. He weighs &gt;18 lbs, but, while long, his length is all in his torso. He also wears cloth diapers. So he's got a big waist, thighs, and butt, but short (average for his age?) legs. All the shorts I've tried are either too tight or too long.</p> <p>I want to try Zara since shipping and return shipping is free (right?). But I thought I'd ask here first if you think their stuff is cut well for my babe? Basically, I need a cut that's short and wide ;)</p> <p>If you have other brands you think would work well, please let me know! </p>
