Help me find trousers for my almost 3 year old.

Hi, I am struggling to find trousers for my dd. She has eczema on her legs which can be quite bad so she needs to wear clothes with a high percent of cotton. She is also very fussy about what she wears - she hates jeans and anything that is too tight on the legs - I presume because they irritate her legs. The shops seem full of synthetic tracksuits and jeans for her age. She wears some 18-24 and some 2-3 stuff. Any ideas where I can get nice cotton trousers reasonably priced, online if possible. Thanks

Hmmm, dd has got some lovely trousers from M&S that are sort of cargo syle but have jersey cotton inside?

They don't sell the same tasteful ones that dd has but like these are

They don't say cotton jersey lined but clearly are from the photo so think these others would be too

They have adjustable elastic at the back of the waistband too.

JoJo Maman Bebe have some nice designs, we have some that are cotton lined with adjustable waistbands - sale is still on too I believe.

Thanks for the suggestions. She has loads of tops and t-shirts but we are constantly struggling with trousers for her. She can't tolerate tights on her itchy legs so skirts/dresses out for winter. Also she is quite short so a lot of trousers seem to be very long on her so the roll-up ones would solve that problem.

We got these in a cream colour.

These are nice to

DD is a taller than average skinny 3.5 year old and the M&S age 2-3 fit her perectly

suiledonn · 26/01/2009 22:58

Lionstar I've ordered 2 pairs from JoJo Maman Bebe. Looks like they have plenty of nice stuff. Thanks again.

Cargirl I'll have to wait til I can take her to M&S to try for sizes. She still wears a pair of 12-18 month cargos from Tesco and it sounds like M&S are on the large side. Thanks
