Kids clothes not going past age 14

My 10yo Dd is tall too (and size 7 shoes) new look, Next and M&S tend to be fairly generously sized and length is good too. Sometimes Tu range in sainsburys though their trousers seem to be very skinny legged.

I worked in NEXT a few years ago and most of there kids stuff went up to age 16 but not in store you had to order it. Maybe check the website?

Primark goes up to age 15. I wear boys' joggers from there.
I'd try H&M, Zaram TK Max and New Look.
I forgot Next but I haven't been there for years because they moved to a retail park.

My not very tall skinny 16 year old gets jeans and trousers from Hollister. They do them by waist sizes and leg length and so I buy him a 28 or 29” waist - with a belt they’re ok.

sorry to hijack OP. Abercrombie & Fitch do up to age 16. They often have good offers on.

My DD has the opposite problem. At 21 she is very short and slight so still fits age 11-12 clothes.

I think 14 year old clothes in places like John Lewis and Marks tend to be quite big in comparison to shops my DD goes to like Brandy Melville, clearly aimed at teens and under 18, saying that many of the bottom half things are too big for her. I've put them against her older children's clothes from H and M or Marks etc. And they are bigger so you should be able to get something.

I feel your pain OP. I have a 16yo 6' ds with a 25" waist and a 33" inside leg. Men sizes simply don't fit. Thank god for Next skinny fit trousers for 17yos.

Or I'd be paying a tailor and I really can't afford that.

Try M&S - they do clothes for up to age 16. One of my nieces is a tall 13 year old and whilst New Look etc is more her go to now there is still the odd thing in M & S that she would wear.
What I’m trying to say here is that M & S’s range for young teens is probably more suited to the OP’s 10 year old than someone older

The 13/14 year old girl's clothes in M&S are about an adult size 12 - I don't think there would be much demand for anything bigger than that in a children's range. I notice John Lewis seem to have very little for older girls though.

I have a nearly 14 year old who can easily fit into children's clothes still but would never ever go near children's clothes anymore so I personally think they don't make them as they know the average 14 year old has no interest in them.

What about John Lewis I thought they went up to 14.

Im a size 8/10 adult and can fit in M&S age 14 and H&M and New look kids clothes. Im sure M&S go up to age 16 online.
Look at XXS in primark. Mango do a size 4 and river island kids go up to age 15 I think.

Maybe you're not reading the OP because she wanted to know why kids clothes stop at that size and if she should complain

Loads of stores have teen clothes.
New look
Next
Primark.
Tk max.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to look in the adult section. Plenty of sequined shift dresses around suitable for a party. Not too revealing or adult. Age 14 clothes are the same size as adults, I'm currently wearing my son's age 14-15 coat as mines ripped and I'm a size 10.

I'm with you, my 9 year old is in 11-12 clothes for her height, and size 5 trainers.
It's hard to find age appropriate clothes, it's all cropped tops, cropped jumpers etc, which definitely are not ok for a just turned 9 year old. In a couple years we are going to struggle, and her shoes are costing me a fortune!

I’m 35 and still buy kids clothes. Surely she can fit into age 14?

It was quite a relief my my 2 DDs started fitting adult size clothes. I think it was around age 12 and size 10 - 12 fitted just fine.

They had so many more styles to choose from in the adult range. The teenage girl stuff was all so samey.

Why isn't a woman's dress or outfit suitable? Surely there's something your DD will like.

I know VAT starts on shoes size 5.5+.

I was a 5.5 shoe aged 10. Now a size 8

Jealous of friends who have size 4 feet and can get trainers cheap

Forgot to mention that my DD wasn't and we bought from there, but I was fully grown at 12 as were both her best friends.

H&M, Next, Primark, River Island. They just don't have them in shops.I suspect as most 12 year olds have to diverse in height and boob size to waer children's clothes.

Every saying that a 14 year old doesn't want to wear kids clothes isn't reading the OP. Her daughter is 10 but needs bigger aged clothes due to her size and adult clothing is unsuitable.

But there's probably some sort of rules about the sizing they're allowed to do in childrens clothes for that exact reason

I actually think it has nothing to do with older children not wanting to wear children's cloths, as often ranges do teen sections which they like. But more to do with VAT on clothing, if children's cloths where large enough for some adults to wear then they may do as they would be cheaper. I hate the fact that I have to pay full adult price for teenagers cloths, the whole point in there being no VAT on children's cloths is to make it cheaper to cloth your children.

DD often shops in New look as they go upto size 15 and she still fits in some of it.

Apart from there is no VAT on kids' clothes so it absolutely would make sense.

We had this problem recently. Trying to buy a party dress for an 11 year old the size of a 14 year old that isn't too revealing, frumpy, itchy or sequinned. She bought a plain black clingy dress from Primark then says it's itchy. 🙄
