Dresses on Girls

[Mother2many]

I'm I unreasonable to think that younger girls who wear dresses should also wear "bloomers/shorts" or something under their dress so, their panties don't show?

My daughter is turning 7 next weekend, and she still makes sure she has something under her dress, esp, if its a short/shorter one...

Yes, it depends on what she is doing too... Going for a nice supper/concert, no.... something underneath isn't necessary, as she won't be laying on the floor, playing, climbing on the monkey bars, etc.etc.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but when I see a bunch of kids sitting on the ground playing, chances are the girls don't worry about their panties showing...

jmho...

Perhaps the OP could get her daughter some of those things that Widdecome wore on Strictly.

Hmm - not sure on that one. In Florida one year, night after a hurricane, ants managed to get inside DD's nappy! Not even a pair of shorts would have prevented that one

I didn't really wear a skirt for about the first 10 yrs of my life either, just went straight for the shorts...

Yeah I have to point out for the THIRD time here that the OP is not contributing to this....

Perhaps she's gone to sleep, I'm guessing that's permited As I'm kinda hoping to do that at some stage in the next few weeks

I think the OP is cracking one off somewhere....

A whole thread full of tales of girls' knickers... I bet that wasn't the intention of the OP.

Ken, you put it so much better than me

I can see it's best not to beat around the bush then Tethers and Ken....I've been pissing about here telling people "Ooh where CAN the OP be I WONDER???" in a vaguely suggestive manner for ages and there you two come and sort it all out!

My 7 year old is a right old knicker flasher, so if she's going somewhere where she's playing about (like the park) if is she's wearing a dress to school, I give her bike shorts to wear under her dress. Now she's 7 we are trying to teach her not to flash so much, and I noticed last time I was in the classroom the teacher had girls in dresses not sit cross legged but cross their feet in front of them. She usually wears shorts or long trousers/leggings to school, no uniforms here.

Why? What happens if you see a little kid's undies?

Do your eyes bleed or something? Or in fact does nothing at all happen and it really doesn't matter?

Now, if I could just get DS2 to keep any clothes on at all for any length of time I will be very happy.

Interesting that I started what I thought was a mildly amusing thread about some posters on here possibly being computer constructs trying to pass the Turing Test- and it was gone within minutes. This one remains.

My daughter wears little shorts - sort of like cycling shorts under dresses as I think it looks nicer. I totally understand where OP is coming from. All the girls at school put their PE shorts on under their skirts after school when they are playing in the park/playground.

My daughter has a dress from Zara with matchking knickers designed to show. They are cute as can be.

She wears leggings under skirts for warmth sometimes instead of tights, nothing to do with the risk of flashing her toddler lingerie, she may well pull them down to show you Elmo or Cookie Monster on the front of he nappy though.
Am I training a future pole dancer?

And does she wear trousers to cover the cycling shorts?

What the hell does "looks nicer" mean?

Sorry but I've been round the Wrekin ( as they say round here) on this topic on forums ( fora?) for years . 1st post op? Sorry I think either full on hairy biker trolling or American ( Canadian?) fundie " modest dress" fans .

On the off chance the op is for real, well fitting kids pants will cover all that needs to be covered, boys and girls.

Never mind little girls knickers - watch the boys with boxers and short shorts infant teachers I kmow have had to mention this to parents !

my dd is 18mths i often put leggins on under her skirts and dresses purely as they help hold her nappy in place and its more practical for the stage she is at, crawling, toddling, climbing and it looks cute, she also has LOTS of summer dresses with matching pants, i confess after 4 boys i am loving the novelty of girls clothes and dresses with matching pants are super cute BUT once she is old enough to wear proper knickers, then she will be past the dress with matching knickers stage, so i assume she will just wear the dress and her regular underwear!

if she wants to wear dresses and leggins she can, it looks nice but i certainly wont be making her do so for fear she might show her underwear.

my friends dd is almost 7 and she regularly at school is on the monkey bars etc and showing her knickers all the girls that age do, i dont see the problem, my ds2 and ds3 are skinny minnies so despite adjustable waist trousers they still fall down a bit when they are climbing etc and so you see their pants, should i put shorts on under their trousers as well?

I really don't understand this looks nicer nonsense. Unless your choice of children's underwear is a leopardskin thong, ordinary knickers surely do the job required of them? We'll be covering piano legs next...

I've got the perfect name for this thread for all those "panty" hating mums [smiles]

I'm glad I don't have daughters. I would never been too complacent in my views if I did have.

I posted this on another thread, but here it is again...

I got in trouble in the 70s for doing hand-stands and cart wheels in the playground of the children's home I was raised up in because my father was parked across the road and had asked me to get some of my friends and show him and his friends how good we were at it.

I was upset with the matron for chasing my father and his friend off.

At the time, I hadn't made the connection that my father and his friend were behaving inappropriately. It only struck me at age 12, when I went to live with him. My father was a peadophile.

Yes, children should be left to get on with innocent pursuits, but sometimes, danger lurks nearby without you even realising it.

There is nothing wrong with children flashing panties. There is a lot wrong with out society though, and how complacent can you afford to be?

out=our

There are some threads on MN, that you really couldn't make up.

This is one of them.

'My daughter is turning 7 next weekend, and she still makes sure she has something under her dress, '

you see the wors 'still' seems odd to me.IME the younger girls don't seem to have any awareness, much less concern about knicker flashing. It's the Y5 and 6s who want shorts on for hanging on th climbingframe or doing handstands.

Awww, its just a cultural thing. My American friends all put big knickers that match their dds dresses over their ususal knicks. That's why Baby Gap and Carters dresses all come with them right up to age 5.
My 6 year old usually has skorts a la Mini Boden or leggings under her skirts but has been known to flash her pants merrily when wearing sun dresses.
Funny thread!
