DD is 7. She would adore a hoodie like this is there anywhere I can buy something similar in her size?

All Saints do nice kids stuff, I see it on ebay. It's not like that hoody but it is v stylish but not ordinary looking.

FauxFox · 29/06/2012 13:55

I don't think All saints do kids clothes do they? And if they do I expect they would be quite 'beige' and painfully understated trendy like the woman's stuff...I she wants hoodys with ears, amime characters and bright colours Grin

My dd loves alternative clothes, I'm actually taking her to a Japanese festival this weekend mainly for the fashion. She's 13 but has loves stuff like this for years.
Here's a hoddie with ears www.darksideclothing.com/acatalog/Black_Kids_Kitty_Hood.html and I'm sure if you just search in google fo kids alternative clothing uk you'll find more. I found that with just one search.
Good for you for respecting your dd's fashion (or unfashion) choices.

Ps All Saints do do kids my clothes, my ds2 wears a lot of their toddler skull/skeleton Tshirts. And they have some really clothes for girls they're just a bit expensive. We go to the outlet shop at Bicester to buy for ds2.

That's cute born but more like dressing up costume than 'fashion' iyswim? I have googled! Lots of links, no joy Sad

There's not even any on ebay or amazon! Lots for grown ups or babies, not 7 year olds...might have to get my sewing machine out!

My dd1 is 10 and loves Hell Bunny clothing, it is technically for adults but the sizes are very small, so an xs would probably fit :)

CeliaFate · 29/06/2012 17:17

David and Goliath do some different stuff.

mrscumberbatch · 29/06/2012 20:44

A lot of the alternative clothes ranges run small.
I gave my old Emily Strange hoodie with kitten ears to my cousin who is 8. Fits her perfectly..... I couldn't take myself seriously in it anymore Wink

Another one with a young Goth here. I've spent hours looking with no success. She's a tall, slim age 10 and we just have to make up outfits from what we can find.
She looks great!

FauxFox · 30/06/2012 09:02

That's exactly the kind of thing mrscucumber but out of stock...I'll keep an eye on ebay...

It's odd there is nothing out there isn't it peri? I would have thought that loads of girls would love that quirky age-appropriate style instead of the mini-WAG stuff in the shops Hmm

Blue Banana do lots of alternative clothes but not sure if they do kid's stuff

link to instructions for sewing on ears on a hoodie

Maybe there is something here?

mrscumberbatch · 30/06/2012 16:52

We always used to pile in to the local 'alternative' shops. Couple of goth/pinup boutiques and a few skate shops.
A small would definitely fit them fine in 99% of any of these ranges.

trinni · 30/06/2012 18:48

My dd favours this site recently.

www.littleblackcherry.co.uk/

Not sure whether they do small enough sizes but I can vouch for their excellent customer service.

kittencuddles · 30/06/2012 21:50

Have you looked at Punkyfish? There hoodies are cute and although they don't do kids they tend to be quite small.

PeriPathetic · 02/07/2012 22:55

Does anyone know how to get wholesale clothing made? It looks like this would be a good business to get into! If you know anything about making and marketing clothes, which I don't. Can't even sew on a button Blush
