Dd needs to get some new summer holiday gear.

I sent her off to the shops with a couple of stylish mates and £50 the other day and she came home with 2 tops, one of which is completely see-through and needs to be worn over another top. Came to something like £16.00.

She has inherited her mum's lack of interest in clothes!

But she NEEDS new stuff. Where should she go?

I don't want to do her shopping for her

How did the shopping go?

DD1 is mostly primark plus charity shops (after intensive charity shop training from meGrin).

I have a size 8 5'6" 11 year old and really struggled to get her holiday clothes. Trawled all the shops above and found nothing. In desperation I tried Matallan they have a teen section that goes up to age 16 which is about a size 10 and got loads of vests and shorts in the adult section. Most on sale too so an added bonus.
This age and size is so hard often ladies department they wouldn't be seen dead in and teen section far too small.
