I’m 8 weeks pregnant. You can’t tell I’m pregnant, but I sure as heck can. All my clothing feel WAY too tight and I just don’t feel comfortable wearing the things I use to wear. I hate wearing tight shirts now because you can she my love handles. Is now too sound to wear maternity shirts?

Well it really depends on how you feel and what you are comfortable in so if you want to wear them go ahead i know what you mean now that i been 16 weeks you still can’t tell i’m preg but i just feel grose in my cloths.

I am a few days shy of being 35 weeks pregnant and am trying to prepare the best that I can for my little man to arrive. I have been looking at the clothing that i got from my baby shower and was curious how long a baby is considered a newborn and what the difference is between newborn clothing and 0-3 month baby clothing.

Newborn usually means up to 8 Lbs. 0-3 months usually means up to 12 lbs. I found that length made more of a difference than weight, though. My daughter was 8lbs 5 oz, and newborn fit her for awhile.

I have been searching for a website or contacts to the company Peaches N Cream for Childrens clothing. I would like to put them in my store’s line but I can not seem to find the wholesale contacts. I am located in Louisiana and if you have any contacts, or advice, Please offer, Thanks
For the first poster, yes you are right that is the site, but it is not WHOLESALE.. and in my question I posted that I would like wholesale pricing.

It took me 30 seconds to find http://www.peaches-n-cream.com/

We live in a fairly small city with only 1 kids clothing store and it’s now for sale. Of course, we have Wal-Mart and a few other chains where people can buy kids clothing but if a person is looking for name-brand clothing or other speciality items, the kids clothing store is the place to go.

The clothing store is for sale because the lady who runs it is only doing it for fun and games. She opens the store whenever she wants to; does not advertise; does not run sales; and does not update her inventory very often.

We would love to purchase the store and move the location to a better spot (near Wal-Mart). I know we need to sit down with the lady and look at her books to see how the store is doing financially. I’m not sure how helpful this will be since she doesn’t run the store very well but at least we can see her expenses. What else should we do or research?

We have the money to purchase and operate the store but want to do the whole process the right way. Thanks much!

I would not purchase without doing a comprehensive study on the clothing store business. There are some red flags for me. The owner opens when she feels like it? She does not advertise? She owns it for fun and games? Aren’t there other ways to have fun? travel maybe. Expenses on cost projection and operating can be fudged. Look at her monthly receipts for the last 36 months as well as her operating receipts for the last 36 months. Look at her traffic flow during different times of day. Review her advertising budget. Also look at her inventory. Does she lease or own the building? Does a friend of her own the building? If you are astute at accounting review everything carefully. If not get an accountant friend to review. Review her client base as well. What is the market there for children’s clothes? What will be the cost to lease space next to Walmart for 3 years? Remember these things are what you are purchasing. Price accordingly. I sincerely hope you have over $100,000 put away for operating expenses for 3 years. No this does not cover the cost of purchasing the business. If you do not, you might want to reconsider. Leveraging everything you own or borrowing for this is not the best way to purchase a business and certainly in the long run will not give you peace of mind as you revamp this business. Let me know how things develop.

I will be going to LA for 2 weeks this summer and am planning on doing lots of shopping, although i’m mostly looking for knockoffs of designer shoes, clothing and handbags at really low prices. What are the best places to go to look for them? I’ve heard people talk about Santee Alley and The Los Angeles Fashion (Garment) District in downtown, are they both the same tho? and are there any other places i should be aware of ?

If you’re looking for cheaply made "knock off" items then Santee Alley in the fashion district is the place to go, but as "subvet" said, if you want the real thing at discounted prices try one of the area Outlet Malls. You don’t have to go clear to Cabazon. There is one in Lancaster, Ontario, and Camarillo.

what is the highest size dots women clothing store go to because it dont say it on there site?

It’s around 24 for women.

And..

Around 15 for juniors.

Like are there any sites that let you discuss urban clothes, brands, shoes ETC. A site that lets you show clothing you like and get opinions about it? A site that people can tell you shoes or pants or shirts that may go good with a piece of clothing? Are there any sites like that?

I’m thinking I don’t have large start-up capital to start a clothing business nor do I have a big space to stock them. You think joining dropshippers the way to go to get to wholesale womens clothing business?

I discourage you to using dropshipping. The profit margin is too think you will make almost nothing. I did this before and did not work out. Their prices are too high for a wholesale. If you want to start a clothing business, there are wholesale womens clothing distributors that do not require any minimum purchase. If you have $100 or less, that’s good enough. If you have more so much the better. Prices of these distributors are considered closeout therefore more than 50% below wholesale price. One of the places you should check is http://www.bigdeal4u.com. Good luck!
