Pinny_Mum ... yeh, Milkshake i think is only from size 3 onwards (sorry everyone i should have mentioned that before)

Tink ... yeh, i became a member of the Pumpkin Patch online about a month ago ... though i do pop into the factory outlet of PP when in Melb but find not many sizes avail in the shop whereas the online have most sizes from what i have seen (thanks Tink for reminding me & letting others know too)

Mak ... thanks a million for making me aware of the ' others ' stores too !!

Charm ... yeh, i will be looking in Myers from now on when there are big sales on the kids clothes as i just can't justify the prices of Target garments anymore !!! (A bigger choice at Melb Myer than in Ballarat Myer i have noticed, clearly cause being a bigger store & also more sizes avail i have also noticed at the Melb Myer)

Storm ... so funny as the word trashy came to mind when i was writing this thread but didn't want to insult any Target lovers, not meaning ALL there garments BUT there certainly are quite a few to be questioned about the design, fabric & workmanship in making.

Astrid ... my MIL gave DD a jacket from there recently, it was the 1st i have heard of the JK shop ... so will look there too (none in Ballarat, will head to Melb).

I forgot to mention i too purchased heaps of items for DD off eBay when a bub. These days i buy from OZtion (cause the Sellers sell a lot of items cheaper cause their overhead there are not as high as eBay) and on the rare occasion i buy off eBay if it's something particular i'm after. Also i purchase from Kmart when they have the buy one get the 2nd item 60% off but i have found the same items i bought DD there last year are now heaps dearer$ just cause it's now the next range of size up for NOT much more fabric
