Where can I find great kids stuff in adult sizes?

May 5, 2007 11:31 PM

Where can I find awesome kids prints (dinosaurs, Powerpuff Girls) on items such as undies or sheets for adults?

I really like fun, colorful prints, and often wear kids garments (this works since I'm a petite female). I have dinosaur sheets and some awesome Cookie Monster underwear. Problem is, while I know this stuff exists, it is often nearly impossible to find, requiring extensive online searches or simple serendipity.

Are there any good places to find queen-sized kids sheets, or adult sized underwear with fun prints on it? Comic book heros like SpiderMan, the Powerpuff Girls, the Smurfs, or the characters from Sesame Street or Teletubbies would be great. I've been searching for She-Ra (Princess of Power, for those who didn't live through the 80's) sheets forever!

Thank you!

Why not get some reams and yards of various fun fabrics, and have them constructed for you? If you do some sewing yourself, there are lots of instructions around the web for all sorts of projects.

Check here often as well; their inventory changes but there are always super cute patterns.

Try Target for undies (in the women's section). I don't know about online but in the store I have seen Sesame Street and Supergirl. I know I have seen others but I can't think of any right now.

I Stumbled Upon to Web Undies after seeing this question last night.

Not sheets, but fun underwear.

Hot Topic sells underwear with cartoons on them. On their site it's only Hello Kitty, but I'm pretty sure I've seen more in their stores.
I've also bought some Oscar the Grouch underwear from Kohls, but can't seem to find them on their website.

Target sometimes has fun undies. Meijer in the midwest used to have TONS of undies with cartoons on them.

H&M has undies with Snoopy, Hello Kitty, and some other characters.

I think it is just one of those things you need to shop around for...

I've found Muppets underware at Urban Outfitters (Fozzie, Kermit, Gonzo).

Hello Kitty and other "kid print" socks and underware at Target. Target also carries the Nick & Nora line of sheets - we've got the sock monkey set.

I found Power Puff girl PJ pants at Kohls (as well as other "kid prints") - check the Junior's section.

I just bought Muppets underwear at Wal-Mart yesterday. I know Wal-Mart sucks and blah blah but still they have a LOT of cartoon undies. (spongebob as well though I hate him)
