Nice, quality, basic clothes for girls  

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
My little one and I have quite a few pieces of Blue Canoe. I LOVE their stuff.
However, I can never find quality basic clothing for my girls that are almost 4 and 5 years old. Of course I can find VERY basic plain t-shirts but I'd like something with more structure than that. Anybody know of any clothing stores online similar to Blue Canoe that have nice, organic kids clothes?
Not really looking for Hanna Andersen, Gymboree etc. I am looking for solid earthy tones.

TIA,
Keri

Basic Brilliance http://www.basicbrilliance.com/

I learned about this site through another MDC post (I haven't yet ordered anything myself). 100% cotton plus made in the USA.

ETA: I just realized you asked about organic---which Basic Brilliance is not. Too bad!

I too, would love reccomendations. Olivejuice.com has basic, european style clothing in non-hanna colors, ie more solids, earth tones. But, it's a bit formal and pricey, alhough the quality is great.

Lands End is what I think of for basic. And the quality is great.

I've ordered from Basic Brilliance twice. The clothes are really nice and wear well. The colors are beautiful and the styles are comfortable to wear. My DD wears one dress again as soon as I've washed it, and would wear it daily if allowed. We picked out iron-on patches at the fabric store and personalized the dresses a little bit for DD. I also think they are reasonably priced for what you get.

Thanks. I think Basic Brilliance may be the closest to what I am looking for.
Sad that it's hard to find basic yoga style clothing for girls but you can find sequin, glitter, belly bearing animal print in just about every store out there.

I think LL Bean makes high quality basics for children. Their clothes are definitely top-notch.

Going to say basic brilliance, as well. It's not organic, but it is really nice.

We love Wild Child in Madison. DD is always wearing a mushroom hat from there and LOVES the jersey skirts.

bodenusa.com has nice clothes for kids that are a little funky but definitely good quality basics. It's easy to find a 10% off and free shipping code online and they have huge sales 2x a year. The colors tend to be a bit more muted than HA. DD loves the marled t-shirts and appliqued ones.

WOW - Made in the USA? I am totally there! Yay!

Thanks for the link to Basic Brilliance.

Cotton Caboodle has nice simple made in the US cotton knits. I love their colors too. I can't find a website to buy direct from them. Does anyone know?
