Hello!

My 1.5 year old is tall, with long legs and arms. He is still small around the waist & chest though. He’s not ‘skinny’ as in underweight, but just when it comes to clothes it’s so hard to find things that fit well. Has anyone had the same problem & found any particular brands or items of clothing that fit this shape? I always buy 1-2 sizes up to get the length, using belts on pants etc but I would love to find some other options. What are some clothing recommendations for long babies?

  • Or buy the next size up


  • Make to make some or get your grandparents to make some clothes


  • good advice below – hope it has helped.


  • If you can buy the adjustable waist pants, then you can buy a bigger size for the length-Target sell a bit of the adjustable waist pants.

    i try and get pumpkin patch and mix the sizes up and adjustable waist


  • With the weather heating up it will make things easier for you to buy clothing for your long bub


  • Target are really good for quality as well as most of their clothes have the adjustabe waist in them my 2.5 year old has the same problem.


  • Pumpkin patch is great and so is Target. I have two little girls who are really petite and target fits them perfectly. Great quality without the price tag.
