Help with clothes for dd

6 replies

QueenMabby · 01/12/2022 19:26

Dd is 13 (yr 9). She is desperate for some nice clothes. For her, nice clothes are:

  1. Comfy
  2. Not tight or cropped or short
  3. No logos or slogans.

She wants a couple of nice day dresses - knee length ish with a bit of structure.

She's 5' 4". Rather booby. Is not at all a fashionable type but happy as she is. She really still loves all the stuff you get in the kids ranges 7-12 but is too big for it now.

Where can I shop with her/direct her to? She's feeling down about not being able to find the sort of thing she likes.

Thanks.

We shop at H&M. Usually in the Divided range. Some bits from New Look and Zara. I think the Next kids range goes up to 16?

Zara is great. Comfy stuff but also fashionable stuff if she wants to branch out. Nice patterns, fabrics and textures.

John Lewis is expensive but sounds like it might work for her.

At 5'4" and adult body shape she could just go with adult brands. Seasalt has lots of soft fabrics and lots of tunic style dresses. As does H&M. Yumi maybe? Loads of dresses there.

She might also like Vinted. It isn't only for retro stuff. You can get lots of interesting items there and my teen prefers it as you can get more for your money.

My daughter is the same height and same age as your dd and she buys her clothes from H&M, Sheen online and pretty little thing.

My dd is 13, 5 ft 5, and likes Vinted, Bershka, New Look, sports direct, ASOS. And anywhere she can buy cargo pants, the baggier the better

DD's go to shops are Primark, H&M and New Look. And also online shops, but that's is more cropped stuff.

New look & Shien it really good for dresses when they grow out of next m&s children styles
