Why don't more shops do dungarees for older children?

[nappyaddict]

I can understand when you're first potty training they might be a bit tricky, but I love my DS in dungarees and would love to be able to buy more pairs for him.

More often than not if I do find them in his size they have that frayed, worn denim look which I detest like these girl's ones and these boy's ones.

Grrr why do these clothes designers ruin lovely clothes by including either a faded, worn, distressed look to the item or slapping some writing, a motif or applique on it?

similar to yourself nappyaddict I just prefer the dungarees to be plain with no writing on it, or silly logos etc.

I would have bought both the H&M ones and the more recent ones linked to had they just been plain.

Shame about the price

Plain denim pair but again not the cheapest

Ooh! I like those last pair you linked to! Best pair I've seen so far recently - but can't buy because of the price :(

They aren't big enough for my DS. What size do you need?

Look in their sale They go up to 4-5

DS2 is nearly 2yo, so I'm looking for 2-3yrs clothing. going shopping for DCs new clothes on Friday hopefully. Will see what's around. :)

I feel anything over the £20 mark is a bit daft for dungarees when you consider how long they are in them for.

They are 16 in the sale :)

I never had a problem with the 2-3 size. Try Boots, Next, H&M, Debenhams, John Lewis, GAP, possibly M&S.

Oshkosh does great ones for age/size 5 and under. It's an American site so they're called overalls, not dungarees. :) They ship internationally though and with the currency exchange the prices are low enough to make up for the postage.

girls

I can only find one pair that don't have branding and only go up to 24M :(

Just seen that you went on my site and like the Tootsa MacGinty Dungarees. I hope you haven't bought any yet as I'd like to offer you all 40% off! Just use INTRO40 as a coupon code when you check out.
P.S. this coupon can be used until 31st July on any purchases x
www.tomdickorharry.com

there is a promo code that I have been passed for www.tomdickorharry.com INTRO40 - 40% OFF anything until 31st July. They have nice dungarees for boys as well as loads of other cute things. makes those dungarees £19.20 instead of £32!

just seen the note at the top about buying or selling - yikes. wasn't trying to sell, just helping. pretend i just passed that promo code as a friend, it is in general circulation at the moment...p.s. the dungarees will be £19.20 with the 40% off

I think going in person is the only way I'm going to know for sure if all those high street shops stock them in ages 2-3. If I see any around 5-6 yr mark will let you know, nappyaddict.

You could order them online and collect for free in Debenhams, M&S and Next. Not sure about the others.

Boots sell dungarees sometimes - plain blue denim I have them here in a 4/5 and a 5/6 my DS loves dungarees - or ebay lol!

Result! Got two pairs of dungarees yesterday for DS2 in John Lewis. A plain blue denim pair and a navy corduroy pair.

they only go up to 2/3 though don't they lovechoc?

At 40, I would still wear one.so comfy!!

maxy I noticed that these two pairs of dungarees only went up to 2-3yrs on the rails in John Lewis. I felt quite sad thinking this will be the very last time I ever buy dungarees for my youngest :( It just seems that it's not the 'in-thing' for boys to wear them over the age of three which I find ashame.

DS loves them, he always chooses them over jeans. He is 5 in sept and still fits in 3/4 4/5 dungarees. I have brand new Mini Mode ones kept back in 5/6

Sometimes I search ebay US as they often have them bigger - gap made some nice ones once, some lovely lined ones for winter!

Though he had shortie ones on the other day from H&M, they look quite cool I have to say. But stood at the bus stop some girl wame was t a similar age to him asked me what his name was then proceeded to ask why he was wearing "those" as she pointed to his dungarees. She said he's not a baby, they're for babies - made me laugh and think of this thread, especially seeing as he had "trendy" ones on lol

sorry weird typing, stupid laptop

when you search ebay always do mis types too - dungree dungerees
