It's the 'golddigga' logo emblazoned over it that gets me - bloody awful.

There is a difference between short and slutty. The model looks like she is standing on a street corner. I was in Next the other day and had to get through their prostitutes fancy dress to get to the regular clothes, and that was for 3yo.

i wouldnt mind her legs

MrsScavo · 22/07/2007 19:34

So it'snot just me that thinks that about Next firls clothes, elizabeth.

It's awful and completely inappropriate for an 11 year old.

gemmiegoatlegs · 22/07/2007 19:37

also there is a big difference between what is suitable for an 11 yo and a 16 yo. i used to wear tiny clothes at sixth form, aged 16, but at 11? No chance!

I agree with raven; with black leggins and converse it would look OK on a teenger. Not my taste, but it would look OK.

What would be worse, your mother wearing it, or your daughter?

I remember rolling my skirt waistband up a when I was about 12. I don's see the problem with it, as long as someone said it's not fishnets and thigh high boots

How is it being marketed?
I don't understand the op's point

pointydog · 22/07/2007 19:43

I've looked again. Do you mean the high heels? What't the lettering on the front? No 1 Pro?

MrsScavo · 22/07/2007 19:52

It's only the skirt, you have to buy the top seperately. If the skirt were pink, it would be fine on a 3 year old (IMO). So at what age do short skirts become inapropriate? DH was a bit shocked at a short skirt I'd bought for DD at 12 months because you could see the pants that came with it when she bent over. Both Grandmothers, however, told him it was fine, and you were supposed to see babys pants.

DoubleBluff · 22/07/2007 19:55

I think the outfit would be fine if it wasn't worn with the shoes.
The models pose makes the outfit look tarty. The skirt and top are not too bad out of that context.

pointydog · 22/07/2007 19:56

oh yes, there's photos of me aged 2 or 3 with ridiculously short dresses on, scavvers. Occasional frilly knicker things.
