I have decided to make my daughter a strawberry costume for her 1st Halloween! She will be 9 months old. I would like to find some tights that are green, or maybe some fun green or red stripes or polka dots. Something fun and not plain colored of possible. I know that tights are a seasonal thing and that certain colors are only available at certain times of year. With that said, have you seen anything fir her age in these colors around any stores lately? Thanks!
Babies R Us have them.
I'd google the color and size you want.
Many costume sites sell their stuff year round because dance recitals and plays and other performances go on throughout the year.
Dance costume stores will have much thicker and more sturdy items for sale than places like Oriental Trading.
I looked online and notice something. They used a green onsies and put a strawberry shaped item over it. This is a good idea. Even if used a green turtle neck or long sleeved top and a pair of leggings then little one could wear them later.

I don't care for the "strawberry part" but the green pants and top are perfect.
Hanna Andersson had tons of colorful tights...they are a little more $ but especially as your daughter gets older, their tights do not break, run, get holes, etc....they outlast your child!

Baby Gap - super cute ones here!
Any dance wear store is a possibility,but you may pay more .green ones though could carry over to Christmas ,possibly
You might be able to find leggings and socks in the correct color.
I would find some plain tights, and do fun legwarmers over the top. You could find a cute pattern, sew them into tubes, and sew green or red lace to the top so it is all ruffled and cute. :)
Then you can use the tights later with regular outfits. Lol.
Google it. Zuilly might be your best bet.
