baby fashion?

While shopping for a baby gift for my sister, I was amused at the lack of clothing choices available online. You would think that by now there would be tons of baby styles available online from the bigger retailers. However, none of the "baby fashions" that we were looking for were available. Since kids tend to outgrow their clothing fairly quickly (which means that parents don't feel like spending too much on their clothes), I wanted to get some stuff for my sister that was a little more fashionable for my newborn niece-to-be, that she might not have wanted to "indulge" in, using her own money. Unfortunately, to do this, you really need to turn to smaller retailers and specialty stores, which means you are dealing with "the great unknown". I've gotten to the point where I am leery about shopping at smaller sites, even though they tend to provide the best customer service.

Fortunately, there are sites out that cover infant and toddler fashions that can help with these types of decisions. One such site that attempts to fill this gap is the Baby Clothing Site. The site is a bit disorganized and ad-focused, though. It is difficult to navigate and the content seems to run on without any real paragraph-based organization. There are some decent sites listed at the bottom of each page, but none of the URLs are clickable, and some are cropped with a "..." in the middle of the URL, thereby rendering them useless.

Clicking on the right-hand menu to get to some of the subpages reveals more basic clothing descriptions, and then some very hard-to-read white on pink text, again with non-functional links. They did mention an interesting idea that I had never heard of before - a baby clothing trading party. If you live in an area with lots of families with kids, this might just save you some cash.
