My 2 1/2 year old is potty trained all of a sudden! I am looking for underwear for her and having a hard time. I just want 100% cotton without a bunch of Disney / cartoon stuff on it. Plain white is fine, and I would also REALLY like to find the matching camisoles to go with the undies (SO cute!) Hanna Andersson has some cute stuff but it is very expensive.

Does anyone know where to find cotton underwear for little girls? Please help!

Hi Blackie,
Have you considered making them yourself? I'm pretty sure Kwik Sew has patterns for them, and I don't think it would be very difficult. Also, for a little girl, the amount of fabric would be minimal.
Take care,
Donna

No dmoses, I am not going to make the time to sew them myself. I have two babies and hardly have time to get my dishes done and dinner made! Thank you for the suggestion, though.

Walmart usually has matching sets of cotton panties and camisoles. My daughter had several sets from there when she was younger. Then they had white and pastel solids with a little ribbon rose on the camisole. They were hanging on hangers, not in the packages like Fruit of the Loom or Hanes.

Sears would probably be a good place to check too. And JC Penny's. If you don't have those stores near by, try their websites.
And oh yeah, I saw little girl's cotton undies at Old Navy recently too. I picked up some pastel "days of the week" undies for DD. They had them as small as 2T.

:bg: I bet it would be easier to make them, than to try to get out of the house to shop for them,especially with two babies! :wink:
I'm happy to say that those days are over for me :nah:, but I remember them well.
I now have two teenagers, and, Hallelujah!, I can leave them home when I go shopping. :whacky:
Take care,
Donna

Chrysantha, you're back and apparently safe! Do you have any hurricane damage in your area?
