Mummy and me

[BiggerThanBoo]

Plus sized mummy and baby daughter Dresses... I can't find any!
Seriously aibu to wonder do they exist?
Help!

Passthecherrycoke I would think that people who are on low income and have to resort to using food bank etc might feel that smashing a cake is a waste of food.

@ineedaholidaynow I'm sure people in that situation woild feel the same way about many of life's more frivolous things... such as paying for a cinema ticket... or as costume for a fancy dress party... or expensive mascara...

@BiggerThanBoo - you could find a dress you like (Evans/Simply Be/ etc), and buy two, then get someone to make a dress for your daughter out of the second one.

I think it should be easy for someone to make a similar dress for a little girl - someone who can sew could probably adapt a pattern.

I think it would be easier to find a dressmaker who can make a dress for a little girl, than to find ready made, matching dresses for the two of you.

Could you not just buy yourself a bodysuit from pretty much anywhere and a garish tutu thing and put your daughter in matching ones? Seems easier than sourcing two specific outfits, and you'll match.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and for the kind replies.
No to the cake smash - id rather eat the cake! 😂🙈
And I'm not looking for a one time outfit, I'm looking for a nice dress for us that we can wear on days out but starting with her birthday!
Definitely not going down the tutu route, haha!
Thanks again you lovely people for the help! 😊

I get a Christmas outfit from wantthattrend every year for me and my daughter.

Matalan? I notice they always do matching family outfits.
Bore off the people being rude!
I'm about to order Christmas pjs so we all match. It's a bit of fun and soon they won't want to do it so why not!!

The main thing I dislike about matchy outfits is they are either too grown up for a kid or too childish for an adult. An adult wearing a bright blue rainbow print skater dress just looks weird to me.
Therefore I think the above suggestion of buying 2 adult dresses and using the material to make a matching childs dress is a great one.
That way you can try it on and find a dress which flatters you, then get a matching material but probably different style for your daughter.

Lol it's a bit sad to want to go matchy matchy with a baby, ( grown women should not dress like babies/ toddlers)

In that case sleepingbeauty, don't match clothes with your DC but it's up to OP what she does with her DC regardless of how "sad" you think it is.

Personally I find it a bit sad when people make unkind comments about strangers choices, choices which have absolutely no impact upon you or your life.

Well said @Venger. Very sad.

Yuck

It all sounds very 'americanised' for parents and kids to dress the same. A bit like silly gender reveal parties, I mean does anybody really care if it's a boy or a girl anyway?? Besides the parents/ grandparents.

@LadyAndiBella
What has this thread got to do with gender reveal parties and did you really just post to be a bitch? Are you that self conscious yourself that you feel the need to shit on others to make yourself feel better 🙄 pathetic

Hear hear. Also I have a son and I love occasionally matching patterns etc. Nothing to do with gender whatsoever. What a weird comment 🤨

It really isn't. This is not normal behaviour in America anymore than it is in the UK.
