Any suggestions on which shops I can take my DD13 to to get some clothes that aren't designed for someone skinny? Everywhere like New Look seems to be high waisted and cropped tops which just do not suit or fit her well at all. She is feeling pretty low and thinks she is fat - she is not fat, but has got a bit of a tummy at the moment and is never going to be skinny / slim. That is just her genetic make-up! She eats healthily and all that but has low confidence with body image as many do at this age. We are off on holidays at half term and I want her to feel happy in some summery things but she says she hates wearing a swimsuit and that she looks best in clothes designed for boys as they suit her "bulkiness".
She tried on some Next clothes but they did not work, she is definitely out of child sizing now but the teen stuff just isn't right for her. I am actually dreading the shopping trip as I know she is just going to say everything makes her look fat so if I can go armed with some places that might have suitable clothes it would help!
Thanks!
