I can't find 18m dd a coat. I don't like the Boden ones at the moment and Gap just have pink shiny which is a bit old for her I think. Anyone know of anything similar or ideas of where to look?

i love debenhams kids clothes. i bought dd 2 fab coats there in the sale last winter that she is wearing now. having said that i'm not sure what you class as bodeny / gappy although i like both their stuff so chances are we like the same stuff iyswim!!!

I'd second the Debenhams recommendation. I've been looking for a coat for DD (18 months) for a while but wasn't impressed with most - too much fake fur/shiny plastic/applique/sequins etc. Bought this one, but actually having looked at the website I might take it back and get this!

Another vote for H&M, I got my dd the coat newgirl mentioned, she looks really cute in it (she is 21 months btw)

Yes flippineck, quite agree! Can't understand all the shinyness and fur! Has anyone bought a Jojo duffle coat? Are they warm? JoJo duffle

no - the jojo ones are just fleece, not really warm enough to last through a winter I don't think (friends' ds had one lasT YEAR)

If price is the issue, I buy my DS loads of great Gap clothes on ebay - still in good nick, and v funky!

should we join forces??

I think we should lol! Sorry for starting a new thread everone! I think I've gone full circle- I ordered the light pink with brown spots coat that TheBlonde suggested but didn't like the colouring of it in the flesh! It went back! Am going to order the same thing but the plain ole red one instead (think it has pink lining). Bit boring yes but at least no hideous fur/shine and warm!!
