Help! Looked everywhere for a buttonless white kids polo shirt....

[Elibean]

dd has a (genuine) button phobia, and has just started primary school...her teacher says she's seen buttonless white polos but doens't know where they were from.

I've googled myself silly - can anyone help??

I'm sure Next do zip ones - hang on

Wow, thanks - hanging!

I think M&S might do zip ones too - will look for you.

Not a polo shirt but v similar
next

could you cut them off or do buttonholes do it too?

They did, but are out of stock online - may be worth asking in store?

The Next site isn't loading but I'm 90% sure I saw quite pricy red and white polo shirts with zips on there. Sorry if I've imagined this.

what size / colour?
they had them in my local m and s recently.... will look for you if you like?

If all else fails, can you cut the buttons off a normal one and sew on velcro in their place? And maybe a pretty bow to cover up the buttonoles?

What are you doing about her summer dresses or do they come with zips? (Spot the one with a ds!)

this one looks button less. I thought it was BHS i saw zip up ones but i can't find them online.

God, you lot are legend. Thanks so much - already ordered the Next one, and will hunt through other ideas.

Controlfreak, you are very very kind - its ok, thanks for that, will have a look in my local M&S too. They don't have them online, but then I've searched under 'polo' and they probably aren't called that.

Twig, she says 'ok' when I offer to cut buttons off and sew the holes up but IME she then can't quite bring herself to wear them.

Hi Oli zips on dresses quite easy to find, maybe because easier for little kids to do up alone? She has three but winter ones are pinafores, so needs shirts underneath. Currently wearing white t shirts, but is then different to everyone else IYSWIM. She's happy with that (being dd1) but not sure the school will be for much longer.

M & S deffo have the zip ones.

tortoise, it does look buttonless - have ordered one of those too!

Thanks again...

Thanks AbbaFan, will bus it to M&S tomorrow!

My DD has a similar button issue and last year we discovered some fairtrade zip tops from M and S. A few days ago they were selling them off cheaply online, but only had sizes 3 and 4. I bagged some of the size 4's to replace my size 3's that are almost outgrown. But as she only wears winter uniform for 1.5 terms they are barely worn but hey ho!
We also have a similar issue with the school dresses and found that M and S do zip ones and some other places too.

Good luck....and no its not unusual!!
