How to dress my fat baby?

My baby is really fat. Really really fat. She weighed 7.5 kg at 4 months (over the 91st centile line) and now 2 weeks later looks even heavier. She is quite long but also very fat, with soft pot belly and two fat folds per half-limb.

Every day I dress her in a 6-9 month vest and sleepsuit. But I'd like to dress her in something more interesting. When we go out, she looks like a 9-month old, so people wonder why is she in a sleepsuit all the time?? Problem is, it's a bit of a struggle getting tights, leggings and trousers over her fat thighs and big bottom. It's possible, but faffy, especially as she needs her nappy changed a lot due to frequent breastfed liquidy poo explosions and a copious appetite. Dresses are OK, but I don't want to leave her legs bare in this cold weather.

Any ideas for alternative clothing?

Any brands that are good for really really fat babies?

My baby isn't large, or big boned, or chunky. She's fat. As in, she has lots of fat on her. Why are people implying that fat can only be a bad thing?! She's healthy, beautiful and fat.

She looks scrummy. I used to dress my wee chunk in sleep suits but with a nice cardy over the top - I always thought it "dressed it up" a bit. She's 3 now and I miss her arm-bracelets a bit....
