I've just started letting the girls choose what they want to wear each morning.
My goodness it's stressful

Coordinate as long as you can ladies it's not worth the effort to individualise

(forgive me, I only just saw all these other threads!) I usually do the same but different ;) So if one is wearing a skirt the other is wearing a skirt but in a different style or colour.

Like this



but then some times I do this hehehehe (these were give to me by Emma, they belonged to the Gremlins

How are they ever supposed to develop their own sense of themselves? I vowed i would never dress twins the same, and didn't (but It's a little hard when you have boy/girl isn't it!)

I have lots of friends whose mum's sewed their clothes as kids and they wore the same outfits as their siblings. And my sister's often wore the same outfits. None of them have issues with their sense of self.

There's a lot more to individuality than different outfits.

For my entire childhood as a twin I was dressed with matching outfits to my twin sister.
My 2 older sisters (2 years apart) were dressed in matching outfits too as it happens.
Never a problem for us

Even now that my girls choose for themselves, they sometimes choose to wear the same/matching outfits and sometimes they don't.

The girls are only 2 but have very VERY clear ideas of their sense of self - they are polar opposites. And I frequently dress them the same (although mostly with a different colour each, but sometimes exactly the same). I don't think there's much chance they will get confused - they are very strong minded little girls (not sure who they have inherited that one from..........lol).

We have received a lot of hand me down clothes in the upcoming sizes (non twin) so I won't go and buy lots of new matching clothes. I find it a fun challenge to find things that 'match' (as in goes well together or looks similar but different) in the big pile of pre loved clothes. We do have some new matching clothes too, usually gifts from well meaning relatives.
Mum to 3 girls: identical twins and with a 3 year gap another girl.

My Mum dressed my Sister and I in the same dresses but different colours sometimes, usually for special occasions and I quite liked it but got peeved off that she got to be blue and I had to be pink. (she only got to be blue because she knew I wanted blue, obviously she's the younger one).

I have brought many clothes exactly the same for my twin boys due in June. We don't yet know if they are fraternal or identical. I'd like to dress them the same if they are identical but not if they are frat. Maybe the same but different colours.
I have wondered about the individuality issues so figure I will make the most of dressing them the same while they don't care say to 18months. I'm so excited, identical twins look so cute dressed similar

Bother it, I'll so be doing it! I wanted three kids and didn't get blessed with the daughter I always wanted to dress up so but I did get blessed with twins so going to go all out while they are little. I need to have some fun with clothes after all!

lol. goodness!
29 weeks now and the boys are more likely to be identical, I'm still trying to figure out how to tell them apart when they are born. Little badges with their initial would be great if they weren't dangerous. I'll think of something!

Emu - classicly used is the nail polish on one. One of our ante natal mums will dress her identical boys one in stripes the other not, usually so they can tell them apart. You will figure something out.

I dress my twin girls in whatever (cute whatever though, no ugly clothes) most of the time. But I do have trouble if ones in an outfit thats cuter than the other and i think to myself 'am i favoring this one?' so sometimes ill tag team, if one gets it this time, the other gets it next. Such a worry.

I love also dressing them exactly the same, and i love confusing ppl, especially when the mother in law keeps mixing them up ( secretly LOL everytime and then point out she got it wrong - yes evil i know )But ive noticed everytime I make them match, one will spew ALL OVER hers instigating a full change. Grrrrr.

Funny Taz, that's one of the reasons I started dressing my two the same - cos I felt guilty if one was in a "nicer" outfit than the other! Aren't we silly.
