Anyone know where I can get a NICE BRIGHT RAINCOAT for dd??

DD has a dance/nursey rhyme concert at the beginning of Feb (actually I think the last wknd of Jan & 1st wknd of Feb) & her nursery rhyme is "here we go round the mulberry bush". her dance teacher told us to dress them up like it's a cold & frosty morning. I was ill on Sundy & that is when the dress rehearsal was... dd wore an old coat, a hat she wears to school & a scarf.. & a pair of wellies she wears down the yard (farmers!)

My sister took dd for me & when she came back she said dd looked really out of place in a big winter coat & school hat etc.. obv the other mums all talk to each other & take things like co-ordination really seriously as most of the other kids in her groip had on brightly coloured rain coats, hats & wellies!!!!

Well, I'll wash her muddy wellies but am willing to buy her a raincoat, possibly a hat, if she will look like everyone else (I never do this, but my sis said she looked like a scruffy orphan compared to the others )

Now, does anyone know where I can find a raincoat/hat combo at, in bright colours, not too expensive. Seems a bit daft that people would send their kids out in raincoats dressed for a "cold & frosty morning" but there ya go!! & I'd need them delivered v.soon as I'm ill & not yet able to walk round town..... Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Have checked Adams & Next websites, but nothing doing!! TIA

Have you tried vertbaudet?

Jako-o?

Don't know how quickly they can deliver though.

Could you just ask one of the other mothers where they got theirs and send your sis to get one?

(ah you have 2 threads going! I just saw your other one and thought I hadn't posted my message, so you have it on both! Sorry about that!

Gorgeous stripey wellies too!

I'm sure Woolies sells things like this though, and Matalan, if there's somebody who could go for you?

They have a beautiful raincoat on vertbaudet, but when I called to order they said it can take 8-10 days I sort of need it before then.... just because I panic!! Thankyou!!!!!

Oh Jan they are all lovely!!!! I hadn't thought of asking the other mums, as tbh I'm a bit of an oddball.

I'll text my sis to go into Woolies on her way home!!

Yes, I've just realised myself that I have two threads... eejit!

Thanks everyone
