My 7 year old really wants matching clothes (mainly dresses) for her baby sister (6 months old). Anyone have good recommendations for where to buy matching clothes with this large age range? My usual places to look seem to be very hit or miss. |
You may have to get her to settle for matching colors. Hannah Anderson can probably do it. Primary does it. |
What size is your 7 yr old wearing? |
If you are looking for something preppier/dressy, Bella Bliss often has a few dresses that have matching baby versions of older girl dresses. Beaufort Bonnet does, too. You can also filter Lilly Pulitzer by size and print and there are usually a couple of prints per season that come in baby and big girl and even adult sizes.
If those aren’t your style, Peek Kids sometimes has coordinated looks or fabrics between baby and bigger sizes although they usually don’t match exactly. I find that their sizes run huge for baby stuff, btw. I agree with the recommendation to try Primary for plain everyday matching outfits, too. Source: I like to shop. |
Tshirts at old navy perhaps? |
Primary.com for basic knit dresses. They are on mega sale right now.

It is easier to find with christmasy stuff, but they tend to do it year round. Here, there are many options for matching items that work for baby and kid: https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=1144726&mlink=5151,,flyout_maternity_Gifting_Matching_Gifts_for_the_Family&clink=15682852 If you like the preppy, traditional look but don't want to spend a fortune, try Smockingbird kids. |
I have a 6, 5, 4 and 1 year old girl, and they always match. Maybe 50% of the time I match them.
Lilly Pulitzer. Old Navy. AliExpress is great for this. Zulily/jane.com both have random stuff sometimes. |
Princess Awesome, if that appeals to your/your kids style |
I just bought matching dresses for my 7 and 3 year old girls at Macy's. Same pattern, slightly different style. They had several like that.
Most brands have the same patterns across sizes, although the styles might be slightly different. I've bought matching/coordinating stuff for my girls from Carters, Old Navy, Gap, and Children's Place. |
Princess Awesome or Svaha! |

Boden has stuff in pretty big size rages. It will be easier when infant gets to be 3, since Boden’s girl line goes from 3-14. But a lot of the baby clothes are made from the same prints and fabrics. You could do a dress for the 7 yr old and a pinafore for the baby, with the same fabric. |
