Kelly sent us an email: "I know it is early to start thinking about Halloween but I am so excited to dress my baby girl I just had to get started on a costume. I am thinking of dressing her as a flower; very simple and comfy with solid green pants and onesie...the problem? I can't find any solid green baby clothes. In fact, it is hard to find solid, primary colors of anything baby!
I have run in to this problem before with bedding. When I just wanted some solid crib sheets and crib skirt I couldn't find that either! Does anyone know a good resource for solid colored crib bedding and solid (primary) colored baby clothes? Thank you."
assuming you have no qualms with their advertising or, let's say, controversial workplace policies - then american apparel is one-stop shopping for all solid color clothes.

You can often find solid color one pieces at Kidsurplus; my son has a few made by Kushies.

If you live near a small embroidery shop, head over there and ask them about bella baby. I happen to work for a privately owned embroidery shop and we're always willing to help people out when they're looking for particular pieces.
If you don't end up finding anything, let me know. I may be able to help you out.
Bella baby, Rabbit Skins and yes, American Apparel are all commonly used places for screen printers and embroiderers for plain clothes ready for customization.
Hope this helps!

LL Bean has lots of solid-color onesies (long and short sleeve).

Babies R Us has plenty of soft cotton solid color crib sheets (all of mine are from there). Go to the mattress section, not the wall-o-theme-prints. They have very soft cotton green solid color onesies at babystyle.com (and they are the kimono-style, making them easier to get on than the over-the-head variety).

Check out "Solid Long Sleeve T-shirts" and "Solid Pants" in the Zutano Baby Basics: http://www.comfykid.com/cgi-bin/ck-shop.cgi?func=show_line&lines_id=2. Moss looks like a good color for a flower stem!

ok, so I'm really out of the loop. What is controversial with American Apparrel's workplace? I thought they were supposed to be fair to their workers.

Yeah, me too. The American Apparel comment threw me. What's going on?
I do love their baby/toddler pants. However, the adult things I've purchased there have been pretty poorly made.

Pottery Barn Kids has crib sheets in a limited number of solid colors...but they are so soft! If you can talk someone else into buying them for you like we did, the $18 price isn't that bad...

I've found multi-packs of snapshirts in the "Just One Year" brand at Target, or the "Child of Mine" brand at Walmart (both, I think, by Carter's). The packs have solid, patterned and white snapshirts.

For solid color plain onesies and tee's, long sleeve or short, try cottonseedclothing.com. They have 24 terrific solid colors in the softest cotton ever. They also carry simple pull on pants in about 7 colors. Prices are great! Size fron 0/3 -Toddler 2/3( small). Better quality than Gap and cheaper than hanna anderson. But the best is the color selection.
