Clothes for over cloth nappies

[sarah347]

Where do people buy their clothes for babies wearing cloth nappies? Any suggestions re online shops? I've looked at Frugi but I don't know of many other shops.
I used cloth nappies with my daughter and put her in lots of skirts/dresses but now that number 2 is a boy it is proving harder to find trousers and dungarees that fit so does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

DS is quite skinny beneath his cloth. I find Asda, Next, Mothercare and John Lewis clothes quite generously cut for getting over cloth, but Adams, Boden, Tesco, Sainsburys and Gap not.

I agree - I found the cheaper options were more generous over cloth so Asda, Matalan, Primark etc. Also found Next to be good over cloth as well.

But then my DS is also quite skinny, so he grows out of things lengthwise before he even fills out the waist, so it wasn't really an issue for me. I never bought Frugi because they're just too expensive for me.

I never have any probs getting clothes to fit DS - he has been in cloth nappies since he was newborn - but is also on the slim side.

I had no problem with Tesco, MiniMode (Boots, now defunct), Ladybird (Woolworths, still online) or the occasional bit I got secondhand that was from Sainsbos, Next, Mothercare etc.

He's 2.8 now, still in nappies, stil cloth, still skinny and I actually have trouble getting trousers to stay up on him, he needs a belt.

I gave up with dungarees. I used to pick DS up and all the poppers would fly open! It's shame as they looked really cute...

Anyway, the best thing I've found is to buy cropped trousers in a size larger. The type that have the roll up legs are particularly good.

I just size up. Dd is 8 weeks and wears 3-6 stuff. The legs of her babygros are a bit 'draggly' but apart from that it's fine.
I also love H&M clothes as they do odd sizes, their 2-4 months are perfect for her right now as they are a shade smaller than 3-6.

Thanks, I think I will probably give up with dungarees too - we have the same problem with poppers!
The cropped trousers sounds a good idea, thanks.

Polarn o Pyret if you have one near you, or spot some on ebay (better option as it's not cheap).

Agree about Next and H&M being good. I have also tended to stick with tracksuit-type bottoms rather than the more structured jeans/cords type, as they are more stretchy over the nappies, and to get bigger sizes and roll up the bottoms.

My DS is 99th centile so it's a real problem here. Next trousers / dungarees have all been far too tight. M&S are rubbish - at 7 months, DS is too big for the 12-18 month dungarees. Tesco and Sainsbury's seem to be better, especially in things like romper suits / baby grows. His John Lewis dungarees in the next size up are okay, but you have to roll up the bottoms which will is a bit of nuisance when it comes to undoing them for nappy changes.

I've just bought some 6-12 month Frugi dungarees half price in the sale, though and the fit is great - really generous, and I think DS will be wearing them for way past the 12 month mark. In fact, I ordered the next size up too (my mum was paying :)) and we liked them so much that I've since ordered the same again. The cost was only a quid more than a pair of dungarees from Sainsbury's.
