Clothing question for mamas with tall children

My daughter is in 18-24 months right now, but can fit some 2T. Her issue is pants. 2T pants are way too long right now and most 18-24 month jeans are borderline too short. She needs 18-24 month for the waist, but 2t for the length. 2T are too big in the waist and I do not want to roll up the bottom of all of her pants in 2T right now because it doesn't look right. Even if I do the adjustable waist on 2T the issue is the length. Does anyone know of any brands that have an adjustable waist, but run on the shorter side of 2T? I know that Cherokee jeans at Target run shorter but they do not have adjustable waist.

    I don't have any brand suggestions, but here is a link to how to make any pair of pants adjustable.
    Wow. Thanks for this. This may be a stupid question but the only concern I would have is that if pants do not already have an adjustable waist in them, would it ruin or rip the pants by creating one?

    Sorry, I can't think of any brands that seem shorter, except my Carters pants definitely seem to shrink up after a few washers. I've just been rolling the bottoms up... I figure he's going to keep getting taller and I don't want to re-buy longer pants in a month or two.
    I thought of this same thing. My dilemma is that most 2T aren't just a little long. They are extremely long which i find somewhat odd because she is currently 34.25 inches tall. Proportion is different with every baby so hopefully there is a happy medium somewhere.

  • We do a lot of Oshkosh and baby gap because they have the adjustable waist. Lola is in the same situation the 18 to 24 months stuff is just way too short but the 2t stuff is way too big!

  • I have gotten all my jeans and pants for my boys from baby gap and they are all adjustable waist. I don't know if it's the same for girls though. Also old navy seems to have adjustable ones as well but not all of them if I recall.

    I get a lot of Ava's pants from baby gap as well, they have the adjustable waists for the girls stuff too :)
