Help! Can't Find Toddler School Uniforms

My 4 year old will be starting a PreK program with uniforms next month and we cannot find any toddler uniform bottoms that fit.She is quite narrow, but has all 4T or 5T clothing now. The skirts we tried from Kohl's and Target in a size 4 (the smallest they had) practically fell off her hips. The Sears and JCP websites don't even show uniforms that small. I also know she we grudgingly put her uniform on for her four half days of schools, so I don't want to spend a lot of money either. Any suggestions besides spending big money at Land's End?

What can I do next?

I would check online @ Old Navy and Gap. They sell "slim" sizes for boys and I have purchased my boys' uniform shorts at both these places for years. I imagine they sell "slim" in girls' sizes too, and they have adjustable waistbands so you can tighten as needed. Good luck!

the French Toast website has them in smaller sizes for around $8-10.

Try Kmart I have the same issue for my son too, and Kmart has those smaller uniform sizes for the children, and their prices are not that bad. So I would try there.

When my kids were little they were allowed to wear tunics (jumpers) until 2nd grade and so many did 'cuz they are so much easier to fit. I did notice costco had uniforms last week as a vendor (this was at the christown costco) didn't look at sizes/brand.

WalMart and Target will probably get their uniforms in the last week of July, or first week of August. They may be able to tell you exactly when.
Can't believe it's almost school time again. I live west of Phx. It's going to be chaotic for back to school shopping. LOL

my suggestion is to ask at the school, maybe there are other mom's you can buy used uniforms from or at the least they can give you an idea where they got theirs. Our kids go to a Catholic school, so we have uniforms from a specific company and they can get pretty expensive. I am glad to have others pass some on to us when their kids out grow them. :)
