Do you think this dress is age appropriate for a 15 year old girl?

This is not for a specific event, just a dress in general. My daughter doesn't wear dresses usually, so I was surprised when she bought it. I don't mind her wearing a dress, but I still wanted to ask for opinions.😁

Design and coverage OK. Source not, as others have said.

I think it’s appropriate. Nice basic dress. I suspect it’s inspired by SKIMS (Kardashian) dress.
I have a similar one myself and it goes well with both trainers and heels.

Exactly. They are a bunch of frauds. Many people have had their credit card details stolen by companies like Shein and Temu and they lost a lot of money that way.

You are contributing to modern day slavery then. Well done you. 🙄

Dress here for someone who could not access link.

they’re dressing to fit in and definitely, not dressing to get perved on by grown men.

That may well be the case but it won't prevent pervy grown men from ogling.

Link doesn't work for me.

The dress is horrible, in my opinion. It is too tight and revealing for a child, but as I say, I question what some parents allow their children to wear.
We had an own clothes day recently and the amount of girls who attended in these ribbed, cream or brown all in one leotard type things was ridiculous. They looked ridiculous.
My school are now just quietly considering not doing anymore non-uniform days.
If you say anything to parents, or mention to the children that their attire is inappropriate, you’re met with ‘you shouldn’t be looking anyway’.
People like myself aren’t perving when we complain and tell your daughter that we can see too much. The perverts won’t actually complain will they? They’ll enjoy what’s on show, so worry about the people not saying anything.

I’m just glad I had sons so I don’t have to worry about this.

I don't agree that it's suitable. It's revealing across shoulders and bust and it also very clingy around the hips. It's not suitable for a child which she still is. I very much doubt this is marketed towards 15 year olds. More covered on top or looser and less tight on bottom. Pick one.

I can't see the dress but I wouldn't buy anything from Shein.

They wear leggings and vest tops all the time which do both of those things

Its lovely 😀

Too tacky and close-fitting for a child.

I wouldn’t buy from Shein, but it does seem very popular with some teens. Cheap fast fashion and all that. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the dress per se, specially with a jumper, but if it’s cheap clothes she’s after, maybe worth nudging in her the direction of Vinted, which also seems to be popular with that demographic these days too. My DN is always buying and selling on there!

Thanks, the link didn't work for me either.

I think it's too plain and clingy for a 15 year old girl.
But I am not her mum,

Please avoid Shein . Dress is fine!

( ooh that rhymes!)

Makes me feel chilly just looking at it! No reason a teen couldn’t wear it (with some woolly socks, a bobble hat and a cardy 😂)

It’s so unethical I couldn’t knowingly put a penny in their pockets.

I think it’s fine, but the main problem will be the quality of material - it’s likely to be thin stretchy Lycra that will look awful imo.

Where the fuck is she wearing it to?

My 15 year old waves her cleavage all over the place and point blank refuses to take any clothing input from me. A dress like this would be quite a relief tbh.

I agree. There’s definitely some strange attempts to shut down discussion about sexualisation of girls

This. Allowing her to buy fast fashion like this is really bad imho.

It's fine generally though I suggest a cardigan unless you are based somewhere warmer (sitting here a tad cold)

I’m in possession of a dd that age and I wouldn’t be keen. Fortunately she dislikes anything clingy or revealing. She’s also pretty clued up on the evils of fast fashion - in fact she’d be more likely to lecture me on my purchases, and I try to be an ethical shopper most of the time!

It’s a tricky age for clothes, to be fair.
