? - asking someone for clothes back?

DH decided to give all of our baby clothes from DS # 1 to his cousin and his girlfriend.  I am friends with her now and we have playdates.  I thought we kept some of the gender neutral clothes (in hopes of having a girl) but I cannot find anything smaller than 12 months old. : (

Is it rude or not polite etiquette to ask if she still has some of it?  I hate to ask, but we are going to be in a bad financial position and it would be hard to buy all the clothes over again.

WDYT?

    I don't think it's rude at all.

    I don't think it's rude at all.  Think about it, you gave them to her because she needed them and now she's not using them and you are the one that needs them. I'd be hard pressed to think anyone with any character would be pissy about asking for whatever they have, maybe let her know that if she has some special outfits of course to keep anything important to her and no big deal if she can't find stuff, already passed it on ect.

    Also,  I've got a ton of boy cloths that I need a good reason to get out of my house and I would be very happy to pass them along.  I could mail stuff you'd use right away and then DH goes to Roseville for work once in a while and could bring the big chunk later.  It's a very honest offer and I made sure everything I saved is in good condition ect.  If you want you an email me, it's nest name @ yahoo.om

    Awww thank you Embarrassed.  I'd much rather give things to a Nestie than simply take them to the goodwill, plus some stuff is sooooo cute that I can' t bring myself to take them to goodwill.

    Thank you so much for the offer.  I will email you.  It means a lot to me that you are offering.

    People were VERY generous with us for the twins. I already paid in forward with some of the clothes but I still have a bunch they have outgrown 3-6 months. I can set them to the side for you if your having a boy. Let me know if your interested. Justmarried67 at yahoo. I think it's totally ok to ask for them back.My cousin and I share toys with our kids, and some baby equipment (bouncer, highchair) and I passed to them after D for their daughter and they passed back for the boys.

    I'm surprised too, especially after finding out we were having another boy : (
