Really put off next...

8 replies

Just saw that next stock a teen maternity range. The dress i saw was in ages 11 and 13. It's just really put me off next. I mean I know that it happens but it's just sad if it's happening that often...with 11 year olds...

Even though it's not encouraging I just feel its a step towards normalising such young pregnancies which should be a rare occurrence.

I must be getting old.

Are you certain it was definitely maternity wear and not something mislabelled or on the wrong rack? If not and you feel very strongly then email Next and complain, telling them what you saw, where and when. Ask them to explain.

Where did you see this? Do you have a link to back it up?

I was looking at boys clothes in the next sale online. I really couldn't believe, had to show my mum and husband to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

The link is of a maternity top in the children's section but I think it's more a case of mixed up pictures. Next don't sell teen maternity clothes. I think it's meant to be a red top as the "plum teen crew neck" suggests but it's somehow got mixed up and ended up with maternity on the title and a picture of a black maternity dress.
The picture doesn't match the item at all apart from being maternity

Your link doesn't work but I found it on pg 15. However, that to me looks like some kind of error, as why is a dress appearing in the boys section anyway. There is no teen maternity section on the website or app, so I doubt this is actually as it seems to be.

If you are concerned about this then take a screenshot of the page and email Next with it plus the URL and see what they have to say.

I was ordering some clothes for my little girl on their website yesterday and quite a few of the descriptions of the item didn't match the picture e.g. 'Pink long sleeve top' had a photo of a cream jumper above it! I think there must be an error throughout their site at the moment!

I'm not seeing it on page 15... Maybe they've removed it? That does sound rather shocking and would be a daft move by Next to generate negative publicity which I can't believe they would risk.
