Unisex baby clothes

Aside from Baby Gap who classes their one green baby-gro as "girls"; is there anywhere that sells unisex clothing, or more has a website that doesn't make me choose "boy" or "girl"?

I don't care for pink or frills and don't intend on dressing my child as Barbie-however, I don't know what I'm having and I don't want all white like I did with ds, as it's boring.

Is there a specialist that sells unisex clothing? (Preferably not Mamas & Papas)

I was in the same boat as you last year and failed to find anyone who did a decent range of unisex stuff - like you say, everything is blue, pink or cream/white. Maybe we should get a mn campaign going!

I have a friend who dyes plain white baby clothes all colours - she does a wicked tie -dyed rainbow.

Would doing something like that to some plain white ones be an option?

Yes. I was hoping for more primary colours rather than tie-dye. I might just start my own business...! There's clearly a gap in the market...

Next often have primary/bright coloured sleep suits etc. They may be in boys or girls but are good for either. You have to look through the dross though.

If it's any consolation DS's winter coat this year is from Next girls, as was a packet of T shirts last summer.

H&M have bright newborn basics in a range of colours. I bought my new dd some red and green vests yesterday to counter the pink (which virtually all my very kind relatives bought us). Be warned though - twice (when dressed in blue and green) she has been referred to as 'he' as she had on the wrong uniform :o

I bought plain white vests and babygrows (v cheap in multipacks) and dyed in the machine. Dylon do loads of great colours and even when you've paid for dye and salt the cost is negligible. At various times my boys wore: brown, purple, yellow, orange, red, turquoise, emerald, sky blue, leaf green.
