What clothes does a 4yo girl need?

[LynetteScavo]

DD has had a growth spurt, and I need to go out and buy her a complete "wardrobe" including pants and socks. At the moment she is living in one very short denim skirt, and some tops with sleeves that are too short.

I don't want to buy to much or too little, so please tell me exactly what a girl needs.

I'm liking DD's day dresses at the moment - especially her denim one - because she tends to spill huge amounts of soup down herself at lunchtime at preschool, and T-shirts stain so easily even if they're not white.

Granted, she's a year younger than yours, but I've come to realise that T-shirt and jersey material is hopeless when it comes to staining and washing.

DD wears a lot of leggings - also jersey, but legs are less likely to get soup on.

I like your list, it sounds similar to my DD's. You can always add little extras if you see them and like them/need them.

eeeek I couldn't write down the contents of my dd's wardrobe..there is too much in it. However she is only 20 months and still only in 9-12 or 12-18 months so I have got a lot of wear out of her clothes. I am terrible for buying her stuff..don't buy myself much mind you..maybe thats what I should start doing instead!
As long as you have all the essentials I would say at least :
7 pairs of knickers
7 pairs of socks/tights
2 dresses
2 pairs of trousers
2 cardigans
2 pair of leggings
2 jumpers
5 t-shirts
1 jacket/coat/mac
1 swimming costume

I think that would be perfect really to kit out in full and to make sure you have time to wash stuff or if she gets extra dirty .
