When she wore onesies Carters and NextDirect were the best. Fir regular clothes, Old Navy and Zara were great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205574 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:59:47 +0000 jhd 2205574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Children's Place has pants/shorts with adjustable waistbands in small sizes. Most brands don't start offering adjustable waistbands before 2T. MIL also found our LO some skinny jeans at Kmart with an adjustable waist and some shorts at Walmart. We do a lot of Carter's onesies with adjustable waistband shorts or jeans. I love Carter's pajamas too. LO has always been 99% for height and currently around 20% for weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205460 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:08:50 +0000 namaste 2205460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is really tall and slim so I always have to size up on pants and PJs. :/</p> <p>Target, Carters, and Old Navy onesies are phenomenal for her. </p> <p>I haven't found a pants solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205296 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 12:30:33 +0000 dc yoga bee 2205296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carter's has been working best for M so far! I prefer sleepers too, and they're the only ones not swimming on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205206 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:15:09 +0000 erinpye 2205206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are tall and thin-- Carters onesies worked best when they wore them. Old Navy works for us for leggings, dresses, shirts, and only other kinds of pants like jeans, if they have the adjustable waist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205178 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:56:17 +0000 gingerbebe 2205178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Children's Place, Cotton On, and Carters worked best for us. I love Cotton On's leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205065 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:51:41 +0000 Greentea 2205065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 97% for height and 27% for weight. Crazy 8 (kmart, I think? They were gifts) and gymboree pants, with an occasional h and m or target, are the only pants that fit! She has a 9 month waist and 4t legs. I use 9 month leggings as capri pants under dresses, for the third year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205023 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:25:33 +0000 avivoca 2205023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thought would be onesie extenders. But I usually do exclusively tops and bottoms. H has a long torso with shorter legs, so in order to get a good length on her tops we go up a size. </p> <p>Also, Osh Kosh onesies seem to fit nicely on longer babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205018 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:20:41 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2205018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carters and H&amp;M are great for this.<br /> I avoid Gap entirely, though Old Navy works pretty well for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2205008 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:11:41 +0000 MamaCate 2205008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: my baby was the same--we called her a banana baby! I am built the same way so I was not surprised. But carters was and continues to be the best fit for her. The carters line at target (just one you I think) is also good for long and lean if you want to save money, and looking for carters at thrift stores helps too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2204993 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:00:02 +0000 photojane 2204993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was almost the same proportions, 40% weight, 90% height. We did lots of shorts and skirts/dresses, because pants are a joke. Most of her onesies were from Target, H&amp;M, and Carter's. Old Navy always seems to fit wide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tallskinny-fit-baby-clothes#post-2204960 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 08:42:53 +0000 lilyofthewest 2204960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Pip was lucky enough to be born at a time of year where he can get away with wearing just a diaper 90% of the time for his first few months.</p> <p>However, on the occasions where he does need to get dressed, it would be nice if his clothes fit less laughably. I don't know how Sweetie and I got a tall baby since neither of us are even average height, but, we did. Pip is tracking along the 80th% for height vs 35th% for weight. Many of the onsies we have seem almost as wide as they are long; it is not a good look for him.</p> <p>The clothes that seem to fit best are the Gerber and Carter's ones. Are there other brands I should be looking for? </p>
