I'm having troubles with pants for Paige. Her big belly keeps pushing the waist down, so she has a saggy butt. I have a couple pairs of those adjustable waist bands, and even a dapper snapper, but they just don't seem to do the trick. It's like the waist is just to long, so even with the elastic, there is still excess pant hanging off her butt! Maybe someone should invent toddler pants with the front panel like maternity pants! *sigh*

Lol, or how about a baby sized Bella band... Those were a pant saver for me when I was pregnant Smile

i usually stick with tights! Smile

have you seen the jeggings (jean leggings)? they sell them at children's place and they are awesome. they look like skinny jeans but fit better and are more comfy than jeans.

Oooo...I haven't seen the jeggings...I must look for a pair for Pudger...

LC has no bum, either, and quite a buddha...but she's SOOPER short. (She wears a size 9 months pants, but she's 26 months old. :0)

I think we don't run into the problem, since we can pull the pants up to her nipples and that seems to do the trick...although we DO wear a lot of dresses and legwarmers to avoid the pant length issue altogether. Blue jeans are a bit of a pipe dream for us...

I have seen the jeggings. My issue with leggings, or dresses - it's not very functional at -20/-30 celsius!! I love baby legs, but usually have to put full leggings on under them because any bare skin is a little too chilly! Maybe I'll start a new style of jeggings with baby legs over top!

Hee hee! I had to look up dungarees! We call them overalls - I do have one fantastic pair with lining from the Gap - maybe she will have an all overall wardrobe!!
