I hardly  ever shop at T&T as I have found they make their girls top super skinny and short in length not good when your kids have a long torso.

When my DD was born 4 weeks prem I got a couple of their sleepsuits and one of the suits two of the domes fell off   refused to buy any of their clothes with domes on them. The only thing I buy from there is sleepwear/undies/socks.

We lost a dome from the crotch of a Cotton On Kids suit on the first wear last week, still wearable but

It's interesting how we've all had different experiences from the same shops .

I don't buy a lot from PP but what I have bought has always been of good quality, hasn't shrunk etc. I got sick of buying bodysuits from Postie that just shrunk very quickly. I only ever buy things on sale though...

I find Cotton On Kids so expensive. I bought a top from there once which, when washed, stretched to b.ggery . Their stores seem to be too small & completely crammed full of clothes that I don't find shopping there particularly enjoyable.

JK seems good but there's not one particularly close to home so I don't go there a lot.

I bought a top from T & T once that wouldn't even fit over Liam's head . Their sizing seems a little random to me.

Just my 2c

We only buy on sale too, DD's wardrobe is 50% PP & 50% Cotton On. Cotton On often have sales where things are half price or less, which is worth checking out..
Ooh, I'm quite selective of the fabrics of items that I buy, I don't buy anything ribbed as it tends to lose shape in the wash. Also with Cotton On, sometimes when I pull the sticker off it leaves a sticky mark :(

We got some cool hoodies for the gremlins on sale at Cotton On Kids, they look really cool and were 2 for $20 on sale - gotta love 2 for sales when you have twins

Their sizing is random tho, the girls are in size 4 just t get them over their fat heads lol.

Lil miss has a random assortment of clothing, my absolute fave is definitely Nature Baby - I sooooo wish they did a bigger kids range coz their baby stuff is really cool and awesome quality.

Emma - I think they are starting to, with their 'Kid Nature' range. Pretty pricey though ($45 a T-shirt?), but I suppose if you can get the wear of it.

I also love Cotton On Kids - although I do agree about the shopping experience being a bit like browsing in an op shop.

The shopping experience is very important when you're accompanied by a very impatient baby in a stroller! Hence why I tend to buy online - but found PP pretty useless the one time I ordered online from them (and swore never to do so again).

I've only bought maybe half a dozen items from PP - I found they washed and wore really well, but then they were in the smaller sizes so I didn't really put them to the test.

I buy most of the girls clothes from PP and have only had a couple of "issues" with buttons - no big deal as easy to fix.
In saying that, I have had problems with their shoes (from when Gina was a baby) and never ever buy those any more.
