lesserknownpea thank you for the update. I'm still sorry your feelings were hurt. Your relationship with your DIL sounds much deeper and intimate than a difference in fashion choice! I hope in the coming months you find the balance you need.

Based upon how out of control my MIL is with the grandchildren now, no I don't want her buying clothes for a child (should hell freeze over and we decide to have one). She appears to have no self-control or any kind of "that's enough" button and just buys waaaaaaaaay too much stuff for my SIL's kids. And then the aunts are on top of that. It's just out of control and really wasteful. I am an older bride, I know my mind and I know my taste. It didn't go over well during wedding planning that I didn't entertain ideas that didn't either suit my DH and I or were completely out of scope for us (like demanding a 300+ person church wedding for two people who don't attend church and one who has no problem saying she's an atheist). So no, I'd prefer if clothing choices were left to us, or if it was controlled in some way and it wasn't the entire wardrobe (which is the case for my niece and nephew). I understand what you're saying OP, but sometimes it's just not within a person's scope to like or want other people to buy something as intimate as clothing. I had to LOL just a little about this ^^^ because there comes a time about 5-6 weeks or so after the kid's arrival where quite honestly, you're so sleep deprived and exhausted that you really just don't CARE what goes on the kid as long as it's clean! Heck, I didn't care what went on ME as long as it was clean. I was an older mom, I bought my kid a bunch of stuff and other people did too. Sometimes she went through five outfits a DAY between spitting up, drooling and blowouts, so I was happy to have the clothes other people bought for her just so I didn't have to do laundry every single day. Especially since 2/3 of it had to be sprayed, soaked or otherwise treated for stains.

Today, DIL asked me to return it. She said her sister in law told her that her daughter didn't like that fabric. I'm so confused about who doesn't like the outfit. Your daughter-in-law's sister-in-law's daughter doesn't like it? What?? Your DIL is the one having the baby, right?
