I hate to walk past certain stores in the mall when my girls are with me- the way women are portrayed (and exposed) is awful! My eldest is 7, but I know that this difficult stage is right around the corner. I’ve just begun back to school shopping and have been annoyed by the fact that skinny jeans are almost the only option- the poor girl couldn’t even get her feet through the ankles of them at some stores- crazy! A retailer mentioned to me that it is hard for most kids & that it is especially difficult for the younger kids becaues they can’t dress themselves! I find it very hard to believe that other styles “don’t sell”. *sigh* So frustrating.

This is the year I have started shopping in the boy section. I won’t put a lot of the junk they think is girly on my kids either. And my ygst does not like pink sparkly unicorn clothing. Black Adidas is her favourite.

Thank you, I think so too. I have two opposites. A tiny child who jumps and her pants slide off. No hips. And my Payton who can’t find jeans that are short in length and bigger in the hips and tummy. Ugh!

Absolutely!! Zero is not a size!

Right I occasionally have luck funding capris in women’s sizes at Aeropostale that fit Payton. She is not destined to be tall. At least their track pants are affordable.

Self confidence and self esteem are so fragile already during the tween years we need systems that build our girls up – not tearing them down. Thanks for your support and retweets.

There weren’t clothes for short skinny girls. I have to flip waist on pants and skirts to make them fit.

It is sad how retailers has labeled the world as skinny and only seeing to carry clothing for those who are not plus size. I ask God for a health child and that is what he gave us, it saddens me to see how some of these so call major chains here have removed plus sizes clothing and shoes. One thing I can say is I taught my daughter to love HERSELF and not worry about these so call retailers that seek to only sell skinny clothing….both our children are sweet, unique, fun and very cute. No clothes or weight will ever defined them!

It’s hard to find clothes when they don’t have the size available. They were either too short,long, or too tight and not flattening at all. Please Mum was my favourite store as they offer slim for my son and also clothes for “chubby” kids like my daughter. Not too many stores offer these.

But, for me, that’s a different story. I’m short and when I gain weight, I gain weight. You see it. It’s also hard to buy clothes when I do. I hate the fact that stores and retailers would do this. They need to cater to EVERYONE no matter what shape or size.
