Trying to buy some winter dresses for DD (who is 4 and doesn't like trousers).
Looked at loads of stuff online and in the shops, lots of which looked lovely at first glance, but when you look at it on the model, or try it on, they all turned out to finish way above the knee.
AIBU to be really fed up about this? Most of the stuff is considerably shorter than the things she's outgrown since last year.
Apart from the fact that (imo) dresses that are too short look a bit daft (OK, I'm clearly not very fashionable), it means that they're unlikely to even last the winter.
Usually when I buy a dress it starts off a bit long, then right length, then a bit short, so I can count on it lasting a year at least. With the dresses currently in the shops they will go from slightly too short to knicker-skimming in weeks (or is my child the only one who grows like a weed?) I can't afford to keep buying new stuff all the time.
So fed up, we spent ages shopping and came home with just one thing from H&M that isn't too bad as it finishes only just above the knee, but certainly no chance of it still fitting next year. My daughter is slight, with long legs, which compounds the problem, and means I can't size up much because then her torso is shrouded in excess folds of baggy material, and the sleeves cover her hands completely.
OK, rant over 
Just wish designers of children's clothing would think a little bit about practicality.
