My Mom was great about letting me play dressup in her clothes, even her party dresses, but drew the line at her shoes. I was ten when I outgrew them anyway.

Oh no, your not the only one. I would never let one of my daughters where something like that.
No thank you.

This is exactly why I am happy to be mommy to two BOYS! Much better to argue about pants so low they’re falling down than fishnets

I’m with you on this. I feel like the clothing industry try to push more provocative style to kids wayyyy too soon. I don’t even want to be a Fallen Angel myself why would I want to dress my daughter in one.

Actually it isn’t for 7 year olds it is size 7 to 9. But I would not allow my teen daughter to wear that! She would never, ever wear something like that on her own, even. She is quite modest.

It is atrocious what people market for teens, and what some parents would allow their teens to wear. I would have been allowed to wear that, though. Crazy.

I’m with you 100%. And call ME a prude,but I wouldn’t even let a 17 year old out of the house dressed that way!

I’ve been told that the curse of having a girl was that even though the baby clothes are cuter and more abundant, once they hit the pre-teen years, it’s hard to find clothes that don’t make them look like a stripper in training!

I will try my hardest to keep my daughter dressing modestly for as long as possible.

Wanna talk prude? I refused to buy her a baby bikini this summer. And the only reason I settled on a tankini was b/c I figured it would make diaper changes easier.

Oh I definitely agree with you. My girls love playing dress up as well, but some of the costumes, I am saying no to. Even some of the clothes you see!

You are NOT alone. I am so glad to hear you think this way too. I do not want my daughter to dress this way, at Halloween, or EVER. I want her to value herself more! If that makes me a prude, then so be it.

I totally agree as a mom of 4 girls! The book Your Girl by Vicki Courtney is a great resource, http://www.vickicourtney.com.

Oh, please tell me that the first costume under the Teen category wasn’t the “Classic Bunny, Teen”.

Ack!

I agree with not allowing my child to look like a streetwalker. When she gets to be a teen we will be sewing her costumes (meaning she’ll help or sew it herself, cuz I currently sew her costumes). But finding decent regular clothes is hard too. for one there’s the whole finding out what size she is. I wish the manufacturers all used the same size for their patterns!!!

For dress up you could look at second hand or thrift stores for her. DD has a lot of my old clothes too. There was this one dress that had deoderant stains that I gave her…its a favorite with all her friends and they don’t care that the armpits are bleached.

Renee’s last blog post..hummm No ideas here

Um…I’m thinking NOT! There is NO WAY I would allow my children to wear something like that! Or even close for that matter.

My daughter is almost 13, try finding clothes that are not too small, short, revealing in her size. She was in private school through 5th grade and had a dress code. I could never find any skirts that were long enough. Even now, I tell her I have the right to veto any outfit she thinks she needs to wear, and we have a few of those. I can’t find any shorts that she will wear that aren’t too short. She has sensitivity issues so clothes can’t be too tight or too “scratchy”.

But I do remember my mom taking her to the mall around Christmas when she was little, wearing her princess costume and those dress up shoes. She still plays dress up with the younger kids, only now she wears old bridesmaid dresses and shoes we found at Goodwill.

You are not alone.

And it’s not just dress-up clothes, as I’m sure you know. So many girl clothes aren’t age-appropriate these days — or even appropriate at all.

I wouldn’t personally be caught dead in the fallen angel outfit and my dad wouldn’t let me out of the house and I’m 25 and married now
I dont’ think we need to teach young girls to dress “un modestly” I’m sure they will pick up from TV just fine.

I totally agree. By the way, this is one of the neatest looking blogs I’ve ever seen!!

Cecelia’s last blog post..Couture Sneakers for Kids

If you’re a prude, then so am I. There is no way a daughter of mine would wear that at any age! I guess I just don’t want my Baby Girl to go out looking like a hooker. Not even on Halloween!

It’s so sickening. What ARE these parents thinking??? Is that really they want their daughter’s to be looked at? You are definitely not alone!!! I want people to see my daughter’s beautiful face, her glowing personality, and the way she carries herself to be a testimony to her God.
Regarding your daughters dressing up, what about going to Goodwill or something similar. The Goodwill’s in nicer areas of town have some nice clothes that they would enjoy for less money.

Jen’s last blog post..Alphabet Soup

No, you aren’t the only one! I would never wear that myself, let alone put that on my daughter ever! I can’t believe they even sell that for that young age.

Erin Read’s last blog post..Just Chillin

Wasn’t there a big controversy about three weeks ago regarding someone’s new girl’s clothing line…I want to say it was Beyonce. I saw the line and felt that most of it was far too mature for little girls. I understand that there’s a fine line between being fashionable and too mature, but kids grow up too fast as it is. Why do they have to look like they are 18 when they are 8????

i’m totally with you on this! girls are pressured to dress provacatively at an ever younger age these days, and parents should control that as much as possible! (and with girls as cute as you’ve got, you’re gonna have your hands full!)

Katy’s last blog post..~ “my husband rocks” Friday ~

No I wouldn’t let my daughters wear that. The child size is actually 12 - 14, but I wouldn’t buy that either. I almost bought my daughter something similar, but it wasn’t as sexy looking & no heels. Some of the costumes go way over board, along with most clothes.

I have to really watch my 10 year old. She loves all those trampy clothes & I have no idea where that came from. I have always been a very modest dresser + all around shy.
