SDs dress so inappropriately

[Winosaurus]

I know I'm going to get flamed for this but today this has reached a new peak.
My DP has to DDs 12 and 8, they dress so inappropriately I'm sometimes lost for words. They both are wear a full face of make-up and clothes that barely cover their bodies and I'm really struggling with this for several reasons.

1. People look at them constantly when we go out because of how revealing their clothes are and I'm worried it'll attract the wrong attention and potentially put them in danger - particularly as 12yo is getting older.
2. My DD7 now wants to copy them which is causing issues and uncomfortable conversations to come up as I obviously won't let her dress this way but I also don't want to be critical of SDs or their mother for allowing them to dress this way (she buys most of their clothes)
3. I honestly find it embarrassing. When we are out as a group/family people automatically assume I'm their mum and I've had women in particular make remarks about how they are dressed.

I've talked to DP about this and pointed out not only the inappropriateness of their overall looks but also how it could put them in danger. He agrees with me and will occasionally ask SD8 to remove her make-up but overall he doesn't seem to see how wrong it is. I am not being mean about the girls, they are lovely but it's getting to the point where it's making me uncomfortable to be on outings with them when they have their bottom cheeks hanging out of their shorts or transparent crop-tops on. How can I get my partner to see it objectively?

So they wear make up and what? Wear low cut tops and shorts? That's not much different to many young girls nowadays.

I agree with you, I wouldn't have wanted my DD to dress this way, just because I don't find it nice looking at all, but your reaction seem a bit over the top. Or are you talking about worse (ie. clear show of skimpy nickers?)

I'm taking bum cheeks hanging out, see through tops, full face of makeup etc.
I've posted in AIBU now x

I agree with you, those outfits, and certainly make up, sound totally inappropriate! However, as they're not your DC it's difficult to know what to do about it.
Could you maybe take them out shopping, for more appropriate, (but still trendy) clothing to keep at yours.....would their DM be OK with that?

A full face of make up on an eight year old? How embarrassing!!

Just tell your daughter not to ask before they arrive or buy her some lip chap/Vaseline stuff to apply herself

I'd hate that too, but there isn't much you can do when neither of their parents mind it. You are just going to have to keep explaining to your dd why she can't do the same.
