Perfectly potty trained, but bottomless!

Started potty training my nearly 25 mth girl, no problems - taken to it very well. She is now 26 mths & using the toilet sometimes, when I go. The problem is that I am trying to introduce pants & clothing, but I am having no luck at all, she wets them & won't tell me or let me pull her clothing down when she wants to go! Can you help me? Any advice & tips?

Introduce pants gradually. Go barebottomed for a while, when getting the hang of it, add the pants, then and the trousers or whatever sometime later. (I only mean around the house!). Should be easier with a girl, dresses etc. Have a potty in the kitchen and the living room. Give a treat (smartie, choc button, strawberry, raisin, even sticker) for using potty/toilet.

Try the favourite cartoon character pants that your child goes to the shop and chooses (talk them up!). I dont know what girls have these days, but with little boys for example, spiderman and buzz lightyear seem to be quite the thing.
