long torso/short legs - anyone else's child have this?
Caroline takes after her daddy and has a long torso, but short legs. And it is driving me crazy! It is so hard to find her clothes that fit right. She is in 18-24 months now, but the pants are about 3-4 inches too long for her. By the time she is long enough to wear them she will need 2T. If you child has this body type what clothes/brands work best? I have all but given up on pants from Gymboree - they are so long! She is going to end up living in leggings and dresses.

Re: long torso/short legs - anyone else's child have this?
I'm the same way and so is Ridge (while Colton is the opposite).
I look for pants with the waist synch thing in them. He is 28 months and can still wear 18-24 months but can wear 2T if I can adjust the waist smaller and sometimes I may have to roll the legs once.
We do a lot of botique brands as they run a little smaller. I like tutibella.com and always shop the clearance.
I also like Tea Collection and then Gymboree and Gap are great about having the adjustable waist.
You might really have to do the dresses/legging route for a while! Although I have found that Old Navy seems to run a little shorter in length. Especially after you wash it. Are 12-18 mos to tight around the waist?
Oh yes! I don't know how much longer she is going to last in 18-24 month in Old Navy/Carter's - they are already getting a little tight on her. Gap and Gymboree are a little more true to size so she will be good in their clothes for a while. But we said bye-bye to 12 month clothes a couple of months ago. Caroline is a big baby, so she needs to be in 18-24 month for her waist. It is just sriving me crazy because her little legs are so short!
