    Trouble finding suitable clothes for a 4yr old who is super tall (in size 7-8)

    I was hoping someone might point me in the right direction to buy/find clothes suitable for my DD4yrs old. She is very, very tall for her age and is currently wearing size 7 clothes. I am finding it very hard to find shorts that are long enough and tops which are not to mature for her.

    I also need the shorts/pants to have elastic as she has low muscle tone and can't undo the buttons on pants etc to go to the loo.

    Target is horrible for style+cost+wear, Big W is ok, Best and Less have horrible styles out atm.

    She goes to preschool 3 days this year and big school next year.

    Have you tried pumpkin patch? I know they're expensive but their styles are much nicer than target etc.

    That must be really hard on you!

    How about the target basic range? I find their plain coloured no print/picture T's and leggings quite good. We bought 2 pairs of black leggings for $8 each today which also came in a blue, green, white, purple and two pinks I've got them every year for as long as I remember (she's 7 this year) and she out grows them before she would out wear them, many many many pairs have been passed on to her younger cousins.

    Try Charlie & Me or Rivers - both are online

    Also look at some WAHM sites for people who can custom make some things for you eg. Spunky Little Monkies

    Made it
    Etsy

    Both site have lots of custom made options.

    The boys section. Plain coloured pants aren't really gender specific.

    Gymboree have slim options

    I buy a lot from kids wear online. It is a Perth based store & have really good prices especially during sales. I only have boys but worth a look to see for your DD.

    How about Cotton on kids? You can order online from them as well.
