Toddler skirts with soft waistbands?

[Sanne Panne]

Does anyone know of any clothing brands that do denim/corduroy/cotton (any material really) skirts with soft elasticated waistbands (in sizes 18 months+ or 2 years+ )?

I'm not crazy about extendable denim/corduroy and other "hard" waistbands because even when they're loose enough for walking comfortably the buttons or waistbands often still push into chubby toddler bellies when they play while sitting on the floor. I have a couple of dresses and soft trousers but would like to get one or two skirts as well. My daughter only wears tights and long sleeved t-shirts at home so the quickest way to get out of the door is to put a skirt over those tights!

Thanks

Try Boden or Jojo they both do nice soft waistbanded skirts. My 4 yr old won't wear any hard waistbands so have become an expert at finding ones she will wear (cuts down on dressing trauma...)and the above are the best we have found.

Would also keep an eye on H and M as they do various elasticated waist stuff.

...or look out for sleeveless dresses that you could just slip over her head, with T-shirt and tights to do away with the problem?

I tend to avoid skirts, but discovered woolworths.co.uk the other day and in the 'latest offers' section they had some nice ones reduced to about ?1 so worth taking a look - sizes and colour options can be limited though.
