Am I being unreasonable to expect to be able to buy reasonable clothes for dd's?

Where do you get clothes for girls age 13? And a large 10 yr old and an 8 yr old who wants to copy older sis's?
Apart from Gap- which really varies I find- there's places like New Look- but they can be shiny or have stuff written which dd doesn't like.
I used to like Boden- but dd wouldn't be seen dead in the flowery things, and I think they label us as a David Cameron type family.
We get adult stuff sometimes (eldest is tall)- but does anyone know somewhere- preferably on line- where you can get sporty/surfy type clothes.
My girls are definitely not lilac and pink Next girls either!

H&M? Not sure if you can buy online. I think their biggest size in childrens clothes is 164cm, so if DD1 is very tall she may have already outgrown them. For surfy clothes I'd say Quiksilver(Roxy is the girls label) or Freespirit if you have one locally. They are very expensive IMO, but then so is Boden. We are on the South Coast so have loads of surfy type shops locally.

Litte bit pricy but they last and last and sales are good.

Yeah- I love fat face- we find a few things there- tho' if anything- my eldest verges on the black goth type stuff- so fat face may have a lovely top- with a TINY flower - which she then objects to! Or lovely cargos- with a waistband lined in lilac... BUT I say WHO will SEE the waistband? Ah well- s'pose I'm not 13.....
We live a long way from the nearest children's H&M- but I'm thinking it could be worth the journey. Thanks chop and beep.
