Seems like all retailers think I am ! Looking for a pack of "ruffle" frilly socks for dd and can hardly get a pair of normal frilly ones let alone ruffle . Kids can have bigger shoe size than a 12 I mean she is only a 2 it's not like shes a 5 or 6 ffs !!

primark?

M&S do lovely little frilly ones in the ladies' section, but they'd probably be too big. Topshop do them do.

Woops didn't mean that to be so ranty !! Blush

these are exactly what I am looking for but only go up to a 12Angry

buy some lace and sew it on yourself?

Trills · 08/07/2013 21:17

Does your 8yr old DD want frilly socks too?

YANBU to want them but YABU to expect shops to necessarily sell everything that you want...

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 08/07/2013 21:17

on a sock obviously... not you Blush

ihatethecold · 08/07/2013 21:22

Morrisons have some

MoveItMoveIt · 08/07/2013 21:24

Boyes sell frilly socks. If not I second the idea of sewing the lace/ruffles onto a plain pair of socks.

Asda
dd has them, she is size 2. The size is 12 1/2 - 3 1/2

ClaraOswald · 08/07/2013 21:25

Mothercare go up to 3 1/2

yabu , they are cute on a toddler , bit babyish on an 8 yr old.

Sainsburys clothing

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/07/2013 21:32

My dd wears them - she's 18! :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/07/2013 21:32

She wears them with high heels and bodycon, if that makes a difference. :)

whatsonyourplate · 08/07/2013 21:44

Have you tried tesco? Got my did a 5 pack cos she needed some for a dance show but she won?t wear them now.

OctopusWrangler · 08/07/2013 22:15

If your daughter wants them no you're not. If she doesn't yes you are.

suchawimp · 08/07/2013 22:16

Tesco used to do them - got some for myself when I was dressed up as Dorothy - fitted an adult 5!

brilliantwhite · 09/07/2013 20:54

i take it all back i went into town today and saw loads of teenage girls wearing them , also saw them for sale in topshop.

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 09/07/2013 21:25

I got some nice ones in Primark....or Topshop can be good too!

noisytoys · 10/07/2013 10:00

Most things like that look adorable on a toddler, become babyish for older children and come back in fashion for older teenagers. I think YABU because your DD will probably see them as babyish

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 10/07/2013 10:01

My DD is 8 Noisy and she knows they're fashionable.

curlew · 10/07/2013 10:04

Does your dd want frilly socks? Do check.....

sonlypuppyfat · 10/07/2013 19:48

My DD is 12 and her and her older friends all really trendy wear frilly socks we got them from Primark

Ruffly frilly sock things and leggings with ruffled bottoms always make me think of little prancing show ponies, generally of the cob variety.
