Sigh. Maybe some day it will trickle down to the littles!</p> <p>@rahlyrah: I think about it sometimes! But, with #2 cooking I literally barely make dinner these days (pb&amp;j tonight!) so maybe some day ha! </p> <p>@cmomma17: It's the weirdest thing, right? Bugs are okay but GOD not butterflies. Who decided this crap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817095 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:37:13 +0000 MoonMoon 1817095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. The sleeves are never, ever long enough<br /> 2. Baby clothes should not shrink in the hot wash or dry cycle<br /> 3. WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE WORDS ON IT, OMG! NO MORE WORDS!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817089 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:33:23 +0000 photojane 1817089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: well, if she outgrows them, let me know. Maybe I'll buy them off of you! She should be in a 5 by the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817062 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:25:50 +0000 hilsy85 1817062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: THIS. I love stripes, but would love to see other patterns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817047 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:20:34 +0000 Smurfette 1817047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: well I figured sneakers are safe. She has to wear closed toe to day care so I will need them year round. I bought some grey boots on sale in 5, thinking she won't move till sept/oct. Hopefully she can still wear them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817032 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:16:04 +0000 photojane 1817032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Love a silver sneaker! I saw the sneaks she was wearing on IG... very cute. Sadie's foot has been growing so slowly that I have no idea how to buy ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817005 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:06:51 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1817005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: luckily I like stripes but holy I just realized how many stripey things we have! So true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1817000 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:06:01 +0000 Smurfette 1817000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I have noticed that when buying boy clothes for nephews and friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1816963 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:59:41 +0000 mrsjyw 1816963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are stripes the only pattern I see for boys (for the most part)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1816958 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:58:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1816958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: lol my baby has a huge head. I always get it stuck!! Luckily he thinks it's funny but yeesh. </p> <p>I agree with sizing. Some things that are 3 months fit him and some 12 months. He is 5 months! Annoying for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes/page/2#post-1816951 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:57:59 +0000 Littlebit 1816951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: thanks!! I think we have similar tastes! Well, my LO isn't here yet, but I gravitate towards those kinds of things also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816941 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:56:29 +0000 fancyfunction 1816941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate snaps - I much prefer zippers. And I hate that the Gap feels the need to put buttons at the nape of the neck for little babies! I know it's pretty but really, so not an easy task!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816897 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:47:16 +0000 lilteacherbee 1816897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: haha yes! The stupid head holes. N was 96th percentile at birth and it was ridiculous trying to fit things over his head. He's a bit more proportionate these days, but his head is still kinda big. DH just told me the other day that he tried to put a romper on him (with collar snaps!) and it wouldn't go over his head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816892 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:44:58 +0000 Smurfette 1816892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: R wore a silver SKR sneaker all summer. She moved up to a 5 today. I bought a 6 and 7 today since they were on sale, and I love them so much. They go with everything. I saw those boots! I might get for R. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816884 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:40:11 +0000 photojane 1816884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: YES! The shoes. I'm getting Sadie another pair of Converse for fall &amp; winter, because most other toddler sneakers are awful. Then, just planning to get some simple ballet flats from Target or H&amp;M. I like these boots from Old Navy too... </p> [attach=1879/14/naboj0.299x305.Screen-shot-2014-08-14-at-8.38.20-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816877 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:37:54 +0000 Corduroy 1816877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: the shoes drive me nuts. I just got LO super glittery Pumas because at least they are one color (plus Puma logo). I can't decide if I like them or hate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816876 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:37:52 +0000 spaniellove 1816876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I hate head holes. We've struggled with them from day one! J thinks I'm trying to kill him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816865 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:34:48 +0000 twodoghouse 1816865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everything needs a bigger head hole. Blake's head is 7% and I can barely get onesies over it these days. What do people with 95 percentile heads do???</p> <p>Oh, also this is sort of a twin specific problem, but I wish there were newborn/0-3 sized "Big sister" and "big brother" options. Everything says "little sister/brother" in the small sizes. I want to get a "big sister" shirt for Alice but they all start at 12 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816855 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:30:43 +0000 Boheme 1816855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big logos, phrases, words, etc. Super gender specific stuff. Bleh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816842 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:27:19 +0000 artsyfartsy 1816842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SNAP PJS</p> <p>NO SNAPS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816771 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:08:38 +0000 beachbee 1816771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: amen!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816764 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:06:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1816764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beachbee: god yes! I firmly believe baby clothes shouldn't have behind the neck buttons or snaps until babies are old enough to hold up their heads at least, so not before 3-6 months minimum. Like trying to button a fish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816757 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:04:30 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1816757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, the damn shoe thing. I just bought LO her first pair of shoes today and I was at a smaller "mom and pop" shoe place and they only had ONE pair in her size. They're like, navy and pink and flowery and blaaaaaah. They match NOTHING that she has in her closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816700 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:53:11 +0000 cmomma17 1816700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I would totally shop at your shop! My son loves kitty cats so much but apparently kitties are just for girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816697 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:52:36 +0000 beachbee 1816697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why would newborn and 0-3 month clothes have a button enclosure at the neck?? Have any of the designers tried to roll over a squirmy wormy baby to button their neck without chocking them??? I think not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816695 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:52:21 +0000 mrsrain 1816695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fabrics that shrink and then the zipper is too big for the clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816688 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:50:49 +0000 Smurfette 1816688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I agree about Carter's </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816685 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:49:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 1816685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The "sassy" sayings- things about girls being cute or boys being big man on campus-- I don't mind them once in a while but not all the time. </p> <p>My bigger complaint is that sizing is so inconsistent, even within one brand- Carter's, I'm looking at you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816673 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:45:19 +0000 Ra 1816673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: So many! Some of my faves are Knox and Lola, Slyfox, Tribe is Alive, Rags to Ratches, Indie Nook, Kid and Kind, and Totes Adorbs Clothing. I also follow a ton of resale shops. </p> <p>I definitely like the "hipster" look for little boys though so a lot of the shirts have words. I know that's not everyone's style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-complaint-with-designers-of-los-clothes-and-shoes#post-1816667 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:44:21 +0000 sandy 1816667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: they're from Carters. They have some cute riding boots that I'm eyeing too...maybe will ask for them for her birthday. I have a 30% off coupon code if you want me to forward it to you (it says it's a 2x use code and I only used it once) </p>
