Potty Training- Spring Clothes recs

Planning on pt'ing this Spring/Summer and I'm starting to buy clothes for my B/G twins that are 2.5 yrs old...what do I need to be thinking about?

No zippers/ easy to pull on/off, etc.?

Are dresses or shorts better for girls? What about girl swimsuits? Should I get only tankinis for Kate?

    dresses for your girl and no zippers, no buttons, easy pull up and down, nothing that is difficult to get out of (including pj's)

    Dresses, and tankinis or bikinis. Yoga pants are great, too. Honestly, my kids didn't need those options, though. They were able to continue wearing jeans and stuff--they learn to hold it really quick. I wouldn't base their entire summer wardrobe on potty training--just make sure you have plenty of options for the first few days.

    I can only speak with experience for a boy, but the shorts with only elastic were awesome.  I know my friends with girls had a little trouble with bathing suits, but not enough to buy a new one.

    Bottoms wiht elastic waist and dresses/skirts but no tights allowed!!  I only do 2 piece suits for my girls but that is just me as I HATE 1 pieces.  Going to the bathroom is a royal pain with a wet swimsuit so 2 pieces are just easier.  My girls have some pants that have zippers/snaps but they are lose enough that they can pull them down without useing the zipper so that is OK too (they have some elastic in the waist.)

    See, I'd advise AGAINST dresses. DD pees on hers all the time on the potty.

    We didn't change her clothes for potty training.  We still help her a bit though so maybe that is why.
