Help, Help my 2.5 yr old needs nice plain clothes and I've taken my eye off the baby fashion ball and something seems to have happened to Verbaudet

About 5 years ago I bought a few nice basics for dd1 from Verbaudet - packs of plain cotton tops and twin packs of cord trousers. I stopped ordering from them after they totally failed to deliver something and I had to savage them for my cash. Now dd3 is 2.5 and seems to have grown out of everything I want to buy a few bits for her - a couple of plain skirts and a pinafore dress and some tights. So I've gone on Verbaudet on line and it looked crap. Horrid things, nothing classic at all and only one possible brown skirt. Also the nice tights were £17 upwards. I don't know where all the lovely twin packs of stuff went? And since when did tights cost that much?

I've looked at Boden but I don't really want to spend £20 upwards per item and I'm at work all week so time shopping in actual shops is short.

Can anybody suggest websites? I want nice, plain, cosy classic stuff. When I do get to shops I like Gap but I never get on with Next or M&S really. Dd3 is 2.5 and I would be looking to buy age 3 for her. She'sa reasonable size and age 2 just won't cut it.

Please help me

I think, although I may be wrong, Kids Should be Kids offers (or used to offer) free postage to MNers or something like that.

Oh the cardigan is here and is lovely. I got the raisin one in age 3-4 and it's a little big but wearable with room to grow So now I've gone back and ordered the pink one too

And don't forget rainbowbabies (they do up to age 10 despite the name)

Adams is also still trading online.

Just a bump to say the dresses arrived and they look gorgeous and are perfect sizewise. I got age three - wisely it turns out!

I'm surprised no-one has recommended mothercare? They seem to have lots of very good cheap stuff online!
