I found Tea has really gone down in quality -- the prints look very worn after a few washings. Hanna seems the same to me.
So, you want your kid to wear ill-fitting clothes so that you can justify the higher price? That doesn't make sense either.
Yeah sorry PP but there's no way that stuff looked anything but too small.
Ok, if that's what you want to think. I liked the way it looked, so did others who complimented her.
I have petit bateau outfits that have fit my baby from 3 months to about 10 months. she did a lot of growing, but I think the brand is styled so it fits a broader range. So, when she was younger, the dress sleeves were cuffed, now the sleeves look 3/4, but it fits normally everywhere else so it doesn't look too small or constrict her. But this probably wouldn't work for a baby with different proportions (my kid is very long, but a little thin for her height, fwiw).
6-7 months is not out of the realm of possibility for fit, however, since the season/temperature changes during that time, I generally do not dress my children in the clothing from January (cold) when it is August (hot). For a young child I would not count on more than 3-4 months actual (fit/season appropriate) use. If you want to save it for another kid, great, but there is no way that one kid is wearing the same outfit for 4-5 years.
