T-shirts or onesies for soakers

[niccig]

I've got 2 soakers on the way. 1 is a picklepants and my mum in Australia just finished her first soaker - it will be here in about a week. I know most people who use wool soakers/shorts/pants put T-shirts on their DC. Can you use onesies? All I have for DS in 3-6 month size are onesies. I've looked for T-shirts but often they're in larger sizes, any suggestions for where I can get some?
TIA

I wouldn't use a onesie. It wouldn't work well underneath, and on top I think it would fit so tightly that it would cause compression wicking.

This website has some: http://www.basicbrilliance.com/baby.html I've never ordered from there but read good reviews.

And I bet our Juliet (jec2) would make you some cool tie-dyed ones or dip-dye to match your soakers! www.bumbershootbaby.com

You can't use onesies because they would get wet. (Unless you put them over the soaker, which I've done, but it looks a bit silly.)
I have lap shoulder t's from the following places:
www.basicbrilliance.com
www.bumbershootbaby.com
http://www.luxebabydiapers.com
www.babystyle.com also carries solid baby t-shirts.
Oh, and Zutano has really basic, reasonably priced solid t's.
I've found a few at Gymboree, Gap and Old Navy as well.
I've never bought from these stores, but they carry such shirts:

HTH!

Thanks for the links. I see a few things I can buy. And best of all, it's not blue with puppy dogs! I have nothing against blue or puppy dogs but I've got too much in his closet.
