I'm really struggling to find suitable clothes for my (just turned) 8 year old dd
She gets easily overwhelmed with the choice in shops and finds Internet shopping just as much of a challenge. We suspect that she's on the spectrum, due to a whole mixture of issues with her.
She says that she likes black clothes, couldn't explain why. But, I constantly get comments from my mil that she should be in brighter, girlier clothes. Even though I tell her that dd is comfortable and that's what matters to me.
She absolutely loves wearing football kits and she does have a fair few of these in her wardrobe. Not just team ones, but plain ones from Puma, Nike and Adidas. But, there's times when a football kit won't really be suitable
As it happens, her team presentation evening is coming up in a few weeks and I want to find her something a bit smarter to wear. I was thinking maybe cargo trousers, black top and a black and white pair of trainers.
Where do parents of pre tween girls shop, and what do your girls like wearing please, because I'm really at a loss here. She hates any form of shopping and there's no way I can afford to buy loads and then send it back after a double vet visit for the dog this month 🤦♀️
