clothes that fit a 6 year old waist. is it so much to ask?

[hatwoman]

dd2 (6 and a half) is slight, but not notably. she in no way stands out from any of her friends as a skinny-minny. I took her to M&S to get some new uniform the other day and I kid you not stuff for age 4 was falling off her waist. it was too short - but falling off her. the age 6 stuff was the right length but just laughably big round the waist. I took about 8 things into the changing rooms - different sizes, different styles and not a single one came even close to fitting. in september I did the same thing, except also tried BHS, Woolies and Mothercare. the other day I just decided I oculdn't be bothered - I knew the outcome would be the same. is it just me?

I have the same with dd who is five but tall and skinny, I can only buy her skirts or trousers with an adjustable waist, for school she has to wear a pinafore as I kow that will stay up.

I have been reliably informed by dd that pinafores are for nursery and reception!

probably hatwoman as dd is in reception and she keeps naggingfor a skirt.

those adjustable waists - on school uniform dd and I call them old man's trousers - they look ridiculous on her. got a pair of combat type trousers from gap - with adjustable waist - that are ok. but no good for school!

and, even more annoying - the way they make waists these days makes them impossible to adjust.

Go to GAP where nost of the clothes have adjustable waistes... they are great!

and the only thing to fit my not particulary fat 4 year old charge

primark now have adjustable waists
next
gap

oh but not sure if they do school clothes adjustable

m and s def do - dd has trousers from there with adjustable straps
