My DD is 18 mo but has a very long body. She is about to outgrow her short sleeved bodysuits whcih are am M&S size 2-3 (97cm) She is still in nappies so really needs a vest with poppers.
Have not had much luck as yet finding anywhere that sells the next size up.....help!

Mothercare do age 2-3yrs and tend to be a bit bigger than others IME. Vertbaudet's also go up to age 3 but do tend to be on the small side ...

I used to get aged 3/4 for ds from Tesco, I don't know if they still do them though. Also try Boots

She doesn't need a vest with poppers, you know, just buy her some pants and put them over the nappy. It will hold it in place and she will use them eventually.

I am because I have a boy in 18/24 month vests - and he's going to be out of nappies before he grows out of them! he'll be 3 in April!

Thanks for suggestions.
Have bought from mothercare before - maybe could try there again
coldtits....the idea of pants possibly makes me - pants are for big girls - am i ready for that?

try some of the supermarkets, either tesco or asda - not sure which, the sizes are massive

They're not if they are just hholding a nappy on!

pricey, but these are worn as tops under dungarees and lovely quality and colours!

sorry this i link here!

What about these ? When DD's vests get a little too short in the body but perfectly fine fit-wise on top, I use these.

Tobermory · 23/12/2008 22:16

Nicolamumof3, they are lovely and pricey!
Think i may have to order a couple after crimble.

Mejon - great idea but does it make the vest a wierd shape? The part that is supposed to cover the bottom, with the extender is it then too hgh up IFYSWIM

Tobermory - it depends on how small the original vest is really. If very snug then you do get a slight 'high-leg briefs' effect but there's still a fairly substantial 'gussett'.
