Looking for summer clothes for nursery and running around in the garden with my 17 mo DD, I found this fake leather mini skater skirt complete with chunky metal zip today in H&M available from 18 months to 10 years.
I asked to speak to the manager who gave me their Head Office number, which I will definitely be calling. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
It made me feel sad and angry to see this- childhood is so short and our girls deserve better. How can any kid run and climb and play in this? Why would you want to dress your toddler like she's about to go on a night out? It would be so easy for delicate toddler skin to be caught in this zip 
I'm looking forward to hearing their justification for selling this. I know there must be a market for it but blimey, can't we let our kids enjoy their childhoods in fun and appropriate clothes that aren't restricting and adult?
It's just another example of the sexualisation of girls, beginning in their babyhood. It's so sad I seem to remember Mumsnet running/promoting a campaign years ago about this issue, holding retailers to account- does anyone know if it's still going?
