Why did they choose brown??????

[GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck]

My son needs chocolate brown trousers to wear as a page boy for my brother's wedding. He's 5yrs and very skinny and I can't find anything!

Please can you lovely people help me?

TIA

try Alex and alexa. Whats ur budget and his size?

[GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck]

As cheap as possible! And he's a tall 5yr old so 5-6 but with a very skinny waist.

haha.. i like that. btw genrally buy my daughter's clothes from there. If u can wait till sept as generally they put big sale around then would be more economical for you

la redoute brown velour, these come in a size 4-5yrs

vertbaudet brown with a pin stripe could look quite smart for a wedding, in stock in a size 6yrs

combat ones may be a bit too casual though

sizes at la redoute tend to favour slender kids

Thank you all so much. I seem to have a missing gene when it comes to googling things!

The M&S school trouser type ones seem to be the best for what my sil is wanting.

Now to find a cream jacket - please note, these are not my colour choices

try ebay too. i got ds a beige linen suit for my brothers wedding last year, brand new originally form next, for £12 inc a shirt.

loads of people sell kids wedding outfits that have only been worn the once.

[GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck]

Blimey, I need a brown shirt for him as well!

[GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck]

Wow - I love the stuff in Alex and Alexa but the prices made my eyes bleed Ds is a combats and scruffy t-shirts kid so anything that I get for this wedding will be a 'worn once and passed on' outfit.

hehe

try babycurls. read abt some cashback voucher on another thread

[GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck]

Thanks for everyone's help. I found a brown suit with a cream shirt and waistcoat on ebay which I've convinced my brother will be perfect - all for £30. Fab bargain that will be back on ebay as soon as the wedding's over . Now I just have to hope I can walk in my heels (eeek) and that my burnt boobs tone down!

Possibly take a chance and buy beige and machine dye it?
