I am having a baby boy, and I have lots of gently used baby girl clothing, sizes from 3 months all the way to 4T. I’ve tried searching on the internet, but no one wants used clothing, only new.

Go to google maps and search businesses. Look up "Shelters" based on your address.

Call in advance to be sure they are taking donations, wash the clothing and put it in a bag and drop it off.

So many women leaving violent relationships- leave their home with nothing, so it’s great to give their children and the women themselves the essentials.

and how do you find suppliers?

There are two aspects to your question and I can give you some information on both.

1. First of all setting up your online store is basically setting up a website. However having a website is the easy part – its getting people to your website, and not just any old people, but people who want to buy your range of kids clothes. This is the harder part.

However, you should consider "Site Build It" which is now acknowledged as the key way to do just that. They offer not only the web hosting but also the optimizing of your site to get it on the top searches in Google and the other sites. Its a full service for $299 a year. That might sound steep to someone starting up but it is worth every penny which you’ll recoup in spades once your site starts making you serious money. A high number of Site Build It websites get listed in the very top positions in Google etc.

Here’s where you can get free details:

2. You need stock. Again, a place on the web that is proving very successful and profitable is Salehoo. Its a complete directory and community of reputable dropship and wholesale companies. A one off payment gets you full access ( dropship is where you make the sale and the item ships direct from the factory/wholesaler – you hold no stock)

I hope these are helpful suggestions. Good luck!

I need a really cute name for a childrens clothing store. something adorable that makes sense. any ideas?
it needs to be like the cutest name you’ve ever heard of that you just want to shop there so bad. I want it to be kinda clever to.

Adorables!!

It seems like my kids always move to the next size up a month (or more) early, is this normal? Like at 2 months they move from 0-3 month clothes to 3-6 months. And at 5 months they are wearing 6-9 month clothes. Or at 22 months they are already fitting into their 2T/24 month clothes. Does everyone elses kids do this, or are my kids just big?

Oh yes!! I think this is normal for just about everyones kids. I’m sure there are excepts but most kids will wear a size bigger or even smaller then what their age is. My son is 4 months and wears 6 to 9 month clothes. However not in all clothes. He has a pair of Tommy jeans that are 3 to 6 months and they are a little big for him. Stuff I buy at Wal-mart tends to fit him sooner too. Sometimes its just how each company makes their clothes. I never go by age for size. Most tags will give weight/height measurements and these tend to be more accurate in judging what size to get.

Not ebay, I have looked there and have not found what I wanted. Others I looked at only take credit cards. Any suggestions would be nice, thanks

Gap Kids, Children’s Place, and any other huge department store should let you order from paypal.

The main purpose of hosiery/pantyhose as society sees is for fashion worn by women, but what about other purposes such as warmth, comfort, support and other health reasons where tights/stockings can be worn under trousers?

At certain stores and on certain websites it doesn’t come under lingerie or women’s clothes.

Sad to say that the current state of society belief, it is currently marketed as women’s. You have also rightly pointed out that on websites, hosiery has a category on its own.

Hosiery is just a piece of legwear and anyone who has legs can wear hosiery. More men have taken to wearing pantyhose in place of long johns for warmth. Men (including myself) have also started wearing support pantyhose for better circulation in legs, esp. if sitting or standing for long hours.

Society needs to open up more to recognising that hosiery should be unisex.

I am particularly looking for punjabi suits (salwar kameez), No churidaar or Bollywood fashion. I want something simple but elegant in traditional punjabi suits. Embriodery with thread or some sequins but not huge stones. I will be visiting punjab in winter and would like to know where to shop for some good trendy but traditional punjabi suits in elegant colors. I am not a fan of bold colors or big embriodery. I like boutique style because they are unique.

Thanks very much.

patiala is especially famous for what you are looking for. but you’ll have to first buy the material and then get it stitched from a boutique.

patiala – there is a boutique opposite gopal sweets.
