Why do some parents dress their kids identically?

[Posey]

Anyone know? Anyone do it? Just curious.

As DD2 gets most of her clothes (other than special occasions) as hand me downs from her big sister they don?t wear the same every day as they were bought two years ago but must admit to colour coordinating them if we are going out somewhere special as it looks nice for the photos and I am just like that. My DD2 is terrible - her pants must match the same colour as her socks and "go" with her outfit. Equally, we have those plastic Ikea bowls, cups and plates and I always match the colours up when setting the table.
Always fancied being part of the Von Trapp family...
The hiiiiiiiills are aliiiiiive.....

My Mum used to dress me and my sister in the same outfits, just in different colours. It wasn't all the time, just occasionally, I think it was more of a case of if she saw a bargain in the catalogue or the shops she would order two! lol!
It didn't really bother us. But I can see why twins hate being dressed in exactly the same things, esp when they already look the same-poor things!

Thanks for all that.
It was a reminder what Chandra said about our mums often making our clothes as kids. My mum always made me and my sister the same dresses and apparently (I asked my mum today) I would wait to see what my big sister wore and would go and put on the same dress. It used to drive her mad
Thats what little sisters do, isn't it?

And guess what? Today, dd, 7, ds, 2, and I all wore the same - khaki trousers and white tops!
