DD and Clothes...

[LumelaMme]

DD is 14. Left to her own devices, she would entirely equip herself from Go Outdoors, and then feel self-conscious when going anywhere smart, or to a party, because she would have nothing to wear.

She does largely equip herself from Go Outdoors. She hates clothes shopping. And she is a very non-teenaged shape. She's not fat, she just has the ILs' physique (think Gimli in Lord of the Rings, with feet that are practically cubes - buying school shoes is a torment.) When it comes to non-school clothes, she has nothing to wear apart from jeans, Go Outdoors trousers, a few pairs of leggings, a couple of jumpers and fleeces, and a summer dress or two. Shoes? Sports sandals, boots, wellies, Sainsbury's knock-off converse-type things, and Clark's ladies extra-extra-extra-wide Mary Janes for school (her feet are wider than the Clark's width measurer will measure - H+).

I want to make the most of the sales, and I want to find things that will fit her and suit her. She's 5'4", and her vitals are 35" bust, 28.5" waist, and 40" hips. She is chunky of leg (muscle), and sturdy of shoulder.

She hates glitter and plunging necklines. She is not keen on her arse.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Love these DMs but sold out in my size

my dd lives in black skinnies and a battered leather jacket

That's me and I'm 32. Plus either DMs or converse.
I look like a proper grown up for work ... Honest!

Took dd1 (20) out for lunch today. She was wearing a jumper dress, boots and a poncho and I was wearing skinnies, a biker jacket and Converse. We did comment that perhaps we looked as if we had stolen each other's clothes. Hey ho!

I wear skinnies and Converse a lot.

Those DMs are cool but DD would never wear them... She likes to be fairly inconspicuous. And yes, jellybean, she does rather hide in baggy clothes. More than anything else, though, her clothes have to be practical: give her mud to splosh in, trees to climb and streams to jump and you will not see her for hours.
