My somewhat petite dd1 (10) has finally moved from junior to pre-teen in sizes and I'm really quite depressed at what clothing manufacturers think she should be wearing. I accept that the cutesy, cutesy days are WAY behind us, but she's still a child and I don't think a child should be wearing t-shirts with suggestive slogans, crop tops, hot pants and minis. She's 10, not a pole-dancer.
For the record, I am a very open-minded, liberal, non-DM reader(!) and am not particularly prudish.

nappy addict, well, my DD is 9 and if she asked i would allow her to wear nail varnish for a party/school disco, but many of her friends have nails (and even toenails) painted for everyday, at school or mucking around in the park. Like wise, she IS allowed jewellery, within reason, and has moved on from chunky plastic tatt to proper nicer things. she will not be getting her ears pierced any time soon though, and some of her friends are already nagging mums about when can they get their BELLY done

bangles and chains and dangly earings, with crop top and hotpants is just WRONG on a child that young.
