about the sale of "adult" pre-teen clothes to be banned in huge shakeup

[MummyTruro]

In fact I am extatic that at last all the complaints to the M&S staff and voting with my own feet to other shops has at last alerted the Government and of course the Retailers that I for one don't like the sexy nightwear for 8 yrs olds or the constant black, glitter and shine of their day clothes.
According to the Guardian I'm not alone ... what do you think? Hurray for a policy that might keep our children playing rather than worrying about fashion or their weight!

just to add I would much prefer my dd at 5 to walk around naked on top than put her in a bikini bra.

My dd went to a party yesterday and got a playboy bunny necklace in the partybag. The girl was 7, my dd is 6. It's really opened my eyes that people are losing sight of what is acceptable. TBh I was disgusted and it's gone straight in the bin.

I don't understand M&S's policy on bras either, I went in and asked for my size and was told they only stock it in the 'angel' range, none of which are under-wired or supportive, or flattering in anyway.

I am 22 year old married woman, for goodness sake, age does not = size .

Similarly, as someone else mentioned, plenty of teenage girls need a lot more support than teenage bras offer.

A bra is not there to make us look sexy for men, it's a practical piece of clothing, and I feel it's wrong to ban or limit what is available based on this mis-conception.

The angel bras do come underwired.

What a load of patronising rubbish. How on earth does glitter =slut?
Really, feel free to dress your own children in 'little house on the prarie' outfits if that's you like but don't try and impose it on other people.

Erm what's wrong with glitter?

I agree with Littlepurpleprincess.

Some teenage girls need far more support than a cotton flimsy childlike bra. There is no way I would buy a bra that is not underwired. I am not a whore, just a woman needing a bra to do it's job.
My dd is 14 and I never have a problem finding nice clothes for her. Fortunately she doesn't go for the pole dancing whore look. I feel sorry for children whose parents seem to have no sense of boundaries. The playboy incident BooBoo described would leave me agahst.

Sorry, but it's unenforceable and market forces will prevail -- plenty people out there want to buy this stuff for their children.

The Angel underwired are very flexible plastic NOT wire. Not sure why it's important but the lady in M&S stressed the point.
