How to Buy Clothing For Your Child

A practical step by step guide for simple, time saving, and rewarding online children's clothing & shoe purchasing. 1. Keep a current list of child's height, weight, shoe size and head circumference. Don't hesitate in asking sellers specific sizing questions. If you don't get a response, there are many other sellers who will respond in a timely manner. 2. Your child's favorite colors are some of the best choices for their clothing. If they like the color, chances are they will wear it. If they like to dress themselves, purchase enough solid colors so they can mix and match easily. 3. Some children are bothered by thick inner seams, tags, and unusual fabric textures. Take time to find out as much as you can about the item you would like to purchase, as they will be the one wearing (or not wearing) it. 4. Designers like Hanna Andersson have figured out a great way to keep your little girl wearing the same outfit for as long as possible: dresses become long tops to wear with leggings and then shirts. Keep clothing like this in mind to get the most bang for your buck. 5. Buying like new name brand, boutique, and department store or luxury brands for your little one means simply this: you can get the best quality for your little one that will hold up to multiple washings & outings for less cost. It will look nicer, longer, and most likely be more comfortable. Win/win/win situation. 6. Make sure you know the return policy of each online seller you purchase from. 7. When buying shoes, don't hesitate in asking for specific length & width. 8. If it's hard to put on or take off, skip it. It might be cute, but you won't reach for it if it's a struggle.
