DD is 4.4, but in 5-6 clothes, she's very tall. I'm having trouble getting her clothes as she is massively fussy and I'm fed up of buying stuff she won't wear. Once she's made up her mind, that's it for that garment.

She won't wear

Pink
Frills, ruffles
Skirts
Dresses
Tunics
Leggings
Very skinny trousers
Flappy trousers

She will wear her brother's hand me down jeans (but not new ones, too stiff), jogging bottoms and sometimes shorts with tights, but not often. I'll usually manage to persuade her into shorts and tights if she needs to look a bit tidy (birthday parties). The rest of the time she looks like s complete scruffian! (And I'm really not precious about these things). This week she's managed to rip a pair of acceptable jeans, and has grown out of her last pair of jogging bottoms. We're left with 1 pair of acceptable turquoise straight leg cords and one pair of embellished jeans, which she goes hot and cold about.

She needs clothes!! Can any other sugguest any bottoms that are not close fitting, not too flappy, not excessively embellished and not pink!! I'd prefer get not to live in jogging bottoms.

DS was never like this. Bring on school uniform...

My DD has improved loads but at 4 would only wear loose summer dresses and tights/leggings (still sensory - but she likes the tight pressure iyswim) that year it snowed for weeks Shock nightmare!

So sympathies!

The slimline joggers look a good choice.

When she starts school get a backpack not a bookbag, DD loathedthe bookbag touching her legs as she walked so backpack was a lifesaver.
