Where can I find shorts for under my daughters dresses? (She's 5)?

Question

She just started Kindergarten & I don't want to put any dresses on her until we find shorts. I would like a thin material.

Answer 1

I`ve seen some in the uniform section at gymboree.  Theyre the lycra kind and fit great under dresses and skirts.  Also try the back to school sections at Walmart, Target etc... Good luck!

Answer 2

you should buy lollipops...they are really cute for little girls and come in pretty colors and designs

Answer 3

Wal-mart has cheap shorts you can put underneath.

We also use pj-shorts. We have several of the mix'n match jammies that have shorts and pants.

We also get leggings. They have them at Wal-mart, Target and Childrens place. They are like tights. But leggings. And the "new" trendy style.

Answer 4

Nina Bella makes a product called "underdresses" that work really well.  They're made for this exact purpose and therefor just the right lenght and VERY durable.  The advantage over these vs. those at gymboree is the generic colors.  No crazy patterns.  They're a little pricey but worth it!

Answer 5

go to like the kmart and get her boyshorts ,they are underwear in the form of shorts u can get them at kmart

Answer 6

What you are looking for are called "bike shorts". They are just perfect for girls to wear under dresses. Very soft, lycra material. Smooth elastic waist, and just the right size  - a few inches above the knee.

I've bought them from "The Children's Place", "Gymboree" and also just found them online at walmart.com

You can try searching for "bike shorts" to find more stores that carry them.

Answer 7

I know that some people don't like these types of stores too well, but I would highly suggest a thrift store. They do have nice things for low prices. No one would ever know, but you.

I have the same issues with my daughters because they like to play outside and climb on things at school.

Answer 8

Walmart has some thin material plain shorts, but you'll have to hurry, they'll probably be on clearance now, since they're putting out wintery stuff.

Tights would also work once it cools off.

Answer 9

wal-mart..

Answer 12

target always has thin shorts with soft material for like 3 dlrs a pair that's where i buy accessories for my 6 year old

Answer 13

Have you tried boys gym or soccer shorts? My daughter has some cotton cycling type shorts as part of her uniform, I don't know where you would get them in the USA though.

Answer 14

I would go to a resale shop.

That is where I bought my daughters. You are more likely to find them their, probably in different colors, and you will save tons of money!

Answer 15

WalMart, Target or eBay.

I'm in the same boat as you with a daughter in kindergarten that isn't always so "lady like".

I was just at WalMart today and bought 4 pairs of what they call capri leggings, but they were shorter than capri length. They were $3 a pair but are getting picked over, so hurry in or go on their web-site and buy some fast!

Target would generally have shorter bike shorts or leggings. I just bought a few pairs of super cute leggings there too! LOL!

Lastly, I have bought a crazy amount of shorts to use with dresses on eBay and have always had great luck on there. This time of year, you should be able to buy "lots" of them reasonably priced.

Also, if you have them in your area.....I bought a lot of leggings this year at Gordmans and TJ Maxx. I'm sure that Ross would have a lot of leggings and shorts right now too and are always at awesome prices!

Good luck!

Answer 16

sofee shorts are good you can get them at sports stores like ***** or sports authority

Answer 17

My daughter can't sit right in a dress and that's all she wants to wear.  She's 5 too so I found some 'bloomers' that are shorts length that go underneath her dresses.  They are frilly little things things with bows and the such.  I purchased them off ebay and had them custom made for her.  Just type in bloomers in the search.  They're about 12 dollars each and my daughter just loves them.
