What clothes to accommodate washable nappies?

[ProfYaffle]

I've just put dd2 into washables. We're using Tots Bots Fluffles which give her a HUUUUUUGE arse! Can anyone recommend clothing brands which accommodate this? I've had a look at cut4cloth but they seem rather expensive and I'm sure I read somewhere that Osh Kosh are quite good, any opinions?

TIA.

Tescos trousers have been quite good for my DD and her bottom.

I find that when they are young the nappies make DC go up a size. I get my Mum (I am rubbish) to take the trousers up and then they are fine. I just tend to put mine into tracksuit type bottoms that seem to stretch over the nappy. Its true C4C make beautiful clothes, but they are quite expensive.

As they get older and bigger the nappies seem much less HUGE. I forgot just how much of a difference it makes until I put DD (6 weeks) into washables. DS (21 months) can wear normal clothes over his now.

HTH

Thanks for the responses.

It has made a difference to her size, she'd only just gone into 3 - 6 months clothes and now I'm looking at 6 - 9 months already!

H&M and Tesco always fit DD best - cheap too

H&M are good. Put her in skirts and its not so much of an issue (until she crawls...)

The only trousers I ever had a problem with were Next and Mothercare. Mind you, dd is very slim - now she's potty-trained, most of her trousers are too big for her!

Trackie Bottoms are the way to go! Tesco and Asda are fab and New Look seems to be ok. Also try Ladybird (Woolworths)

Fluffles are fab but the do give lo's a JLO!

I tend not to wear jeans on dd3 and stick to tracksuit type bottoms - tescos aren't bad, and next are pretty generous as well. she has a few crop trousers (well should be crop but are full length with nappy bum!) that will well. In this weather it's just the wrap thoughj, get to show off lovely gorgeous wraps!

I have a J-Lo arse anyway, and my DC seem to have inherited it! Bambineos are the only way to go for us (oe quickk flip lites).... Boys are sooo much easier - skater jeans

Thanks for the ideas. I'm really surprised that Next seem to be popular, dd1 is a skinny minny and Next were always one of the few brands that fit her nicely (in disposables ). I'll have to get myself up to the attic and dig out her old stuff, see how it looks on dd2.

Cut 4 Cloth do clothes specifically for babies wearing real nappies. or who just have big bottoms, I guess

I'm surprised at the Next recommendations too! I have always found Next trousers to be too tight on ds, even when I went up a size. Dungarees are the answer IMO - Ladybird are great and roomy. In general the lack of a waistband means plenty of room round the middle, and adjustable straps compensate for the extra length needed in the crotch. Ds is dungaree boy, very rarely wears trousers

I was thinking that about dungarees, I think dd2 is going to live in them until she's potty trained!

dd3 lives in dungerees, and dresses/skirts. she has a big collection of leg warmers for colder days.

i can get normal sized clothes on her but she is a skinny-mini and with dispicables her jeans fall down.

oh a lot of her stuff comes from next. with dd2 though i found asda stuff better as she was a chunkymonkey.

I agree that H&M and Tesco are really good options as they are very generously sized.

the next stuff is their jersy-type bottoms, kind of like yoga pants for toddlers!

I'd also recommend H&M..I find Tesco clothes are just generally on the large size, so even though I can fit DS' huge nappied bottom in them the legs are always too long

Boots' Mini Mode trousers usually accomodate a big bum too.

That's odd - I find Next a nightmare, apart from their "toddler yoga pants" - they are great. I use fluffles (as well as ME, tots bots, etc, etc, a bit of an addict) and I must say, I love her Jo-lo bum in them. Mothercare, Sainsbury's, and Tesco OK. I tend to put her in little skirts (short to not imped crawling) and tights quite a lot.

Thanks for your help. Thanks for the link ENTP, that's made me wonder about making my own trousers ....

Misdee - does your dd have babylegs? (the product i mean, I'm sure she does have legs and is a baby)

I tend to put dd1 in normal clothes and when they look a bit tight go to next size up. Have never had any problems.

ProfYaffle - I am no seamstress and I found it easy peasy to make DS some elasticated waist trousers (using a cheap pattern off ebay for what looked like pj's )

we go next size up and leave vests undone.

Fab idea, washersaurus, am bidding on some vintage patterns now.
