I'm not a huge fan of PP, purely because the boys range is overly styled and way too matching for my liking. Having said that, I have got some great plain shorts and trousers from there that are still going strong after months of wear. Good quality.

I love the JK range, but do agree that the Everyday sizing is definitely on the small size.

I also buy a fair amount from the Baby Factory. I like the Tangerine label there.

I don't think I have ever bought anything from T&T so can't comment on that. The few things I have had from Cotton on Kids have stretched beyond use or started to come apart after just a single wash. Farmers quality and sizing is dubious. BabyCity/Postie Plus (same range) is not too bad.

Dressmart is my local so I tend to get most things at outlet prices. ]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:58:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=608635&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#608635 <![CDATA[Where do you buy your baby clothes? : For my almost 4 year old boy,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=608565&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#608565 Author: Bubnumber2

For my almost 4 year old boy, I shop mostly at Farmers/Kmart, and go to Pumpkin Patch for a few more 'dressy' items, like jeans and button up shirts. I get some of his kindy stuff at T&T, since it's cheap and I don't care if it gets covered in dirt/paint/whatever.
For my baby daughter I've mostly been shopping at Baby Factory. Don't like Farmers baby stuff.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:18:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=608565&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#608565 <![CDATA[Where do you buy your baby clothes? : How did I forget dressmart in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=608386&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#608386 Author: FionaO

Yeah with T & T I'd recommend having a good look at sizing, my boy is 23 months and wearing their size 4 tops easily (sometimes size 3). He's not what I'd call giant either, just a bit taller than most kiddies his age.

Definitely T & T, Baby Factory, and SOMETIMES Farmers here, i go nuts in Farmers 50% off kids clothing sales, pick up tops for $3-$8 per item, don't recommend anything there with domes though as they fall off after the first wash. Totally useless (so no stretch and grows, or onesies with domes). I've had many freak out moments when I've discovered a dome missing and worried my boy has swallowed it! Not safe IMO!

Ohh and Warehouse have good quality clothes, some of his size 1 1/2s from there he can still fit and the outfit/rompers are still going strong after 13 months of use and LOTS of washing & stains. Sizes vary depending where you shop ]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2009 00:05:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=607911&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#607911 <![CDATA[Where do you buy your baby clothes? : KMart and Target (in Oz)seem to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=607881&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#607881 Author: mummy_becks

Hi, Pumpkin Patch is a fav of ours (although pricey, they have good sales & the clothing doesn't really get the lint) & Farmers & Trade Me & sometimes Baby Factory. I find JK Kids sizing quite small and Baby City doesn't have much choice. Unfortunately Dunedin doesn't have TnT.

I tend to stick with the brand names PP and JK although I got the odd thing from T&T as they had some cute pants and vests to match but I don't think they are going to fit come winter and tops you don't know what size to buy as they make them ultra small. I went in during the summer as there was nothing I like compare to other summers there have been some really cute outfits.

Right now I am getting whole heap of gymboree sent over from the states as I did a trade with someone over there.

With my skinny & tall kid I've only been able buy from PP & TnT because PP has the adjustable waists & Tnt Clothing isn't as wide.
I always buy PP on special or off TM. Has good resell value as well cause the clothing lasts.

Mostly T&T and baby Factory, baby City, PP and JK if they are on special.

T&T is great for when they start solids and you want them to be wearing clothes that can get filthy and you don't care. Same with Postie Plus.

Best thing is to shop during the end of season sales for the following year. T&T sizes can be a bit wacky though - I find there's a 6 month spread for Rowan (3 months either side of her age).]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:17:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=607484&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#607484 <![CDATA[Where do you buy your baby clothes? : We are mostly T&T and I quite...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24337&PID=607450&title=where-do-you-buy-your-baby-clothes#607450 Author: Freesia

We are mostly T&T and I quite like their stuff but we will get things from PP and JK if they are on special or we goto the outlet stores.

I buy most of DS clothes from TnT - I find they wash well and last well.

I also buy some basics from The Warehouse and haven't had any issues.

Baby City - also have some cheap clothes in their sales - would never pay full price for their stuff but you can often pick up bargains and there stuff lasts well.

Farmers is a bit iffy, I have found. Some stuff is great and some is terrible and is out of shape in its first wash.

Think that covers my sons wardrobe.

We had soooooooooooooo much given to us when Finley was born but it was all in tiny sizes or huge sizes, so we are set for about 1 year and we were fine when he was really little, but for about now we really need to get some bits and pieces and i'm just curious where people think the best bargains/stuff is?
