Urgently need to find some summer basics for DD (11) online

[LadyGlencoraPalliser]

She has no clothes and it will be weeks before I can get anywhere with shops. Usually favour H&M and Zara. She just needs shorts, crops and tshirts really. I've just had a look at M&S and it is hopeless - all designed for 7 year olds and just sized up for older girls. She likes Animal but I am on a budget. Any ideas anyone? I will be forever grateful.

New Look - their young teens range?

She doesn't really like New Look - she is more an indie/surf person.

Can she wear adult sizes (8?)? Maybe Uniqlo?? Always my fallback recommendation

No Tinker, that's part of the problem, she is average height but slight and with no bust at all yet. Most of her friends can wear adult size 8 but she still needs age 12.

Have you tried Fat Face?

Yes, they haven't got anything much. I tried Next too, but their website design is driving me mad. Might have to go back to it though.
WHY don't Zara or H&M sell online?

Bump for stylish evening people

La Redoute, maybe?

Dare I say Boden ?

sorry I shouldn't be here as I am not stylish
my friends tend to hit debenhams for their 11-13yo girls - some nice stuff too.

Yes la redoute/ vertbaudet vg for gels

...and (cos I got all enthusiastic and pressed 'post' before I had finished thinking) their Red Herring stuff is nice, also most of them (but they are all dancers) live in Pineapple stuff

Gap?

Jackie, No, No, No to Boden. She is an indie girl! She likes black. And red. And maybe a bit of fluoro. But pastels and wacky prints are not her thing!

Gigglewitch - I got all excited about your Gap link, thinking you could buy online here now.
But tis the US site [sob]
OK will look at Debenhams and La Redoute!
WHY do I live in the arse end of nowhere!

I have huge problems with my nearly 12 year old dd2 as, like your daughter, she is still very slim and girlish in shape; even size 2 0r 4 in adult sizes in those shops that do them are too big for her.

She is also a fussy little creature; not at all interested in clothes and says just about everything is 'chavvy' or 'too Emo' and won't wear skirts, shorts or anything it seems other than jeans and t-shirts. She says she hates: Debenhams, Next, H&M, Boden etc etc - drives me insane.

Unfortunately the only two shops she will conemplate clothes from are Gap and Zara, neither of which are online. I was going to suggest fat Face but I see you've looked there already. Verbaudet maybe worth a look. Can she still squeeze into Pumpkin Patch or is it all too short for her?

PS 'Chavvy' is dd's word, not mine, so no offense intended!

this?

am probably way off as I have boys of 7 and 4!!

or this?

few bits on here?

sorry sorry sorry - should do my homework better - I got myself all excited too

is new look to her liking?

actually that new look stuff is really nice and from age 9

Janeite, you could be describing my DD too! Her winter uniform has been two pairs of skinny jeans, one black, one dark blue, a couple of black, red or purple tops and a long red and black stripey scarf. And stripey socks. And converse.
They are literally all the clothes she wears. Now I have to find a summer version of that lot!
She calls clothes she dislikes chavvy too.

Gigglewitch I think she might like this tshirt but most New Looks stuff is too girly for her.
She doesn't do girly.
I would be tearing my hair out except it wouldn't be fair as I was exactly the same.

Oh she might like these shorts too.
I think we're gettings somewhere Gigglewitch!

I think my dd would like that t-shirt too!

The Debenhams link had some cute denim shorts. My dd would reuse them but yours might contemplate them, if worn with low-top converse and a cool t-shirt?
