The tricky thing about matching dresses (which feels more special for a gift) is that I don't put DD in dresses much at this age, so $20+ feels like a lot to pay for something that would hardly get worn. There do seem to be a few good coordinating options on the Tea website, if I can just find the right sizes in stock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758760 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 21:41:54 +0000 Bluebonnet 2758760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: what kind of clothes does your niece usually wear? Can you identify her style? I tend to dress my LOs in simple prints and solids So, I'd vote for the dress. But maybe your niece prefers graphic tees and doesn't like dresses. If you find something that is a reflection of her style but also meets your criteria (matching option you like for LO), everyone will get a lot of wear out of your purchase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758736 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 16:25:30 +0000 endymion4 2758736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: my dd and i have that shirt (and a bunch of their other shirts) and LOVE! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758726 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 14:12:34 +0000 lady baltimore 2758726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I am definitely getting the shirt for me and DD! </p> <p>Thanks for the recs and expertise everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758707 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 10:36:41 +0000 Pollywog 2758707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: I think the blue one is perfect! But I also think the origin one can work with leggings. My niece wears leggings under everything. It is our go to gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758699 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 09:40:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2758699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adore that tee!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758697 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 09:12:07 +0000 youboots 2758697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get matching stuff for my nephews from Hanna Andersson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758690 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 07:42:48 +0000 mrsbookworm 2758690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the tee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758680 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 04:42:34 +0000 nana87 2758680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any Hanna clothes, but lo1 is tall and slebder for her size and I like a-line dresses for her and think they fit for a lot time (they just become tunics after a long time lol)</p> <p>Tea, mini boden, and winter water factory are all good brands for finding matching clothes over baby/toddler/big girl sizes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758674 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 23:08:31 +0000 PinkElephant 2758674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tea Collection has matching prints across toddler/girl sizes. They even offer the same prints in different cuts, which sometimes works nicely for my girls (9m, 3, and 5). </p> <p>My oldest is very slim and getting leggy, and she can wear those Hanna "twirl" dresses if we size down! They're very cute on her as more of a tunic with leggings look (since sizing down to make them fit slimmer also makes them shorter). I intend to encourage her to wear more classic looks like this through elementary school (so 9-10 yrs old), but some girls may prefer a more mature/trendy style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758667 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 22:07:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2758667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wire and Honey gets my vote!

Do you think a style like one of these would work better? </p> [attach=5683/17/ot5wqa.202x249.hanna-rainbow-dress.jpg] [attach=5683/17/ot5wqb.400x600.lands-end-dress.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758650 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 20:56:46 +0000 Pollywog 2758650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the dress. It is so adorable! Is your niece tall and leggy? I am and my 8 year old niece is and that style wouldn't have worked on either of us at age 6. A more plump / stocky kid would look cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-toddlerbig-kid-clothes#post-2758649 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 20:35:42 +0000 lady baltimore 2758649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are visiting DH's family at the end of the month, and celebrating our niece's 7th birthday while we are there. As part of her present, I would like to get niece and DD (19 mos) matching shirts or dresses (not necessarily for the party, but just for fun). She loved when they had matching jammies at Christmas.</p> <p>Below are two items I've considered. The tee: SiL and BiL aren't into Star Wars like we are - is it still a good shirt? The dress: how does this style look on older kids? </p> <p>(ETA: Here is the dress; I couldn't get a larger picture - <a href="http://www.hannaandersson.com/pdp.aspx?from=SC&#038;pcid=1590&#038;styleid=48276&#038;simg=48276_GK3)" rel="nofollow">http://www.hannaandersson.com/pdp.aspx?from=SC&#038;pcid=1590&#038;styleid=48276&#038;simg=48276_GK3)</a></p> <p>Any other suggestions for brands to look at? I'd lean feminist/messagey on the tees and utilitarian/play dress on dresses.</p> <p>[attach=5683/17/ot5tri.600x510.fight-like-a-girl.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=5683/17/ot5tt6.81x100.hanna-dress.jpg] </p>
