AIBU?
Why don’t they make children’s clothes in adult sizes?

I’ve just bought some dresses for dd. They’re beautifully made and made from lovely sustainable cotton. £10-14 each. Why are adult clothes so shite and expensive?

Oh sorry; should be Aibu to want children’s clothes in adult size!

YANBU! I've been really jealous of some of my DDs dresses. They're so lovely and long-wearing. She's 3.

John Lewis. She is three but wears age four. Don’t think that will fit! I’m 5’8”!

Adult clothes attract VAT so automatically add 20% to the price.

Next girls’ jeans are enormous. I’ve inherited DD’s age 14’s. She’s 20 now and always laughs to see me in them!

I just checked JL age 16 stuff and I don’t like it. Boo.
Hmmm fine, the vat thing makes sense.

Haha! Yeah, that probably won't fit...! It is frustrating. I have been known to buy cardigans from the girls clothes section.

YANBU I'm so jealous of some of DSD's clothes because of how pretty they are. Even now I've noticed she's out of the younger girls sizing (she's a tall 6) they've become less fun clothes!

I always have a look in the older kids' section for clothes for myself. Sometimes I can get away with the oldest sizes, I'm a size 10.
I'm disappointed my feet are a couple of sizes too big for the junior section though (UK7).

I’m a 12. Maybe in children’s plus size? I’m tall though. I’d have to wear jeans as shorts or something!

Some Scandi brands do adults sizes in beautiful designs but the kids clothes are pricey anyway (think £20 for a t shirt) and the adults are £££

I'm only a size 4 shoe, so I get all my footwear from the kids ranges. 😁

My dd had doggy slippers and when you step on them , the air in the soles made the ears flap.
I want them in a size 9

I've always thought adult Boden is kids' clothes in adult sizes, and kids' Boden is kids' clothes at adult prices

I want those really cute Clark's girls first shoes in adult size. And Leli Kelly

Age 11-12 is just slightly too small. Age 13-14 drowns me. (5ft 2 size 8-10). Go Outdoors do a 32 inch chest in childrens ranges... I have the same coat as DS (5) in a different colourway 
I just want adult ranges to adopt button waists so I can accommodate my glutemus maximus without trousers falling off my waist.
