I want to dress my baby as a baby

Anyone know where I can buy pretty, traditional, innocent, old-fashioned (get the picture?) baby clothes? Along the lines of The Little White Company... Everthing I see is in bold colours, with slogans and flippin' cars and tractors all over the place! DS is 3 months so am mainly looking for rompers - any ideas?

Oh I love a baby clothes hunt!

Wow... it's harder for boys. There is so much more "traditional" stuff out there for girls. Anyway I have found some things so hopefully some of this will be helpful

Mothercare Humphrey's Corner:
Humphrey's Corner stuff is cute, these might be a bit grey though
Humphrey's Corner again in blue
Humphrey romper/sleepsuit
Humphrey's Corner rompers, one stripe one white with pictures

Mothercare other:
Farm themed vests - a few bright, but stripy, some with little chicks on
Gorgeous yellow and white set of vests
Matching sleepsuits
I love these soft coloured giraffe ones, but long-sleeved might be a bit hot now. Could use as nightwear in a growbag though.
Yellow and white set with tiny bear motif on
Cute summery white hat and romper set
Humphrey's Corner again in blue0 - they also have a few bibshorts (the dungarees which don't have legs like this, for summer) in H&M in the baby section.

I'll try posting them separately in sections, the first 10 links worked fine.

Bibshort set - they also have a few bibshorts (the dungarees which don't have legs like this, for summer) in H&M in the baby section.
More bibshorts - in blue

OK, and finally the links that didn't work (Sorry, didn't save all the debehnams ones, not going back for them now, I need to sleep!)

Green Baby is my favourite - their clothes are lovely.
www.greenbaby.com/Green+Baby+Products/boys/baby+boys+0+-+2y/

there are so many products I like here - a million miles away from a lot of the naff baby clothes out there.

If you can afford it, Cath Kidston does pretty baby clothes for boys and girls that sweet and old fashioned. Vertbaudet does some nice stuff too. I agree Green Baby and People Tree do some nice baby stuff as well. And Gap's a mixed bag...it's not all lairy colours and tractors (although there's some of that). If you look at their romper suits/baby grows etc in packets they do soft, pale coloured, simple outfits.

In France. Try Monoprix.

My boy will be wearing Emile et bebe and petit blau for the first 18 months, lots of ebay gifts that haven't been worn etc.
Or Boots and M&S do nice simple baby blue outfits but only up to 6-9 months it seems.

Try Rachel Riley - lovely clothes for infants - bit pricey but they are beautifully made.
