If you think you can only find brand name clothes in designer stores or fashion malls think again. Growing Growing Gone carries over 150 different brands you know and love. Although some designers may be way over priced for most moms, many brand names are affordable, durable, and look great.

While lots of parents have joined the trend to shop for name brands on auction sites, you have to be careful. The price for a Gap blouse for your daughter might say $4. But before you add this bargain to your cart, you must realize that price doesn’t include shipping. Sometimes that fee can be more expensive than the actual item. If you are getting a deal on the item, and then the shipping costs are high, then you might as well buy it new from the store. Also, you have to trust that the item really is like what the seller describes. Normally people usually are very good about describing the condition of clothes. But you never know even if you receive photos.

Another way numerous moms try to score name brand outfits for their children is by scouring the outlet malls. Even though you can find discounted clothing, you’ll be lucky to find your child’s size. Also, most of the deepest clearance prices are only on the previous season’s clothing. So if you desperately need jeans for your daughter in the fall, you probably won’t find any at the huge discounts.

Besides being able to get exactly what you need no matter the season at Growing Growing Gone, you also save at least 30% off retail prices. Whether you shop in season or off season, you’ll save on the brand names you have come to trust. No more scouring the mall or paying more for shipping than you did for the piece of clothing. We offer Children’s Place, Ralph Lauren, Polo Club of NY, Tommy Hilfiger, Carters and Van Heusen just to name a few. To see all the brands we sell, click on the brand name search link at the top of the home page.

Because our children grow at a normal pace at some ages and then at lightning speed during other times, picking the right size can be extremely challenging. Most moms like to stay ahead of their kids’ growth spurts but wonder what size to purchase. Every mother has woken up one morning to find that none of her daughter’s shirts will fit over her head. It seems like she literally expanded overnight. Keeping up with your child’s size doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Going to the mall or department store every month is not a realistic expectation. However, shopping by yourself never happens either. So online shopping serves as the best alternative for your ever growing child.

When you shop on line and can’t touch and feel the item, choosing the right size appears hard. Growing Growing Gone understands this. Even though each brand name fits slightly different, our sizing chart can be used as a guideline.  When in doubt, go by the child’s weight and height instead of the actual age. When purchasing a gift, get a size larger to be safe. If the manufacturer has provided size guidelines on the merchandise tag, I have already included them in the product details screen under the sizing information tab. So be sure to read those carefully before you select the size on your order.

Clearance items that are out of season can be a great investment for your child’s future wardrobe. Frugal moms who stock-up for next season when they can get great deals should be sure to buy a size bigger. Typically, your child will wear the next size up one year from the current season. It’s better for clothing to fit a little large instead of being way too small. Keep in mind that cotton pajama sets fit very snug while cargo shorts tend to be loose.

If you ever have any questions about an item, please contact me at jennifer@growinggrowinggone.ca and I will be happy to provide you with any additional measurements you need (i.e. inseam, shoulder measurement, waist or chest measurement).
