I am quite disgusted with some of the clothes marketed to young girls - even toddlers. In NZ a few months ago, the Jay-jays store were selling T-shirts with Mr-Men type character (and little-miss for girls) with characters like Mr Well Hung, and Mr Stoned. These were in sizes from toddler to teen!!!! Very inappropriate and after public outcry were pulled from the shelves very quickly.

Try Second Hand

What is wrong with buying second hand I say!!! Most of my children's clothes are second hand - Urban Angel, Pumpkin Patch, Jag, Oshkosh etc. Why pay $50 a item, when you can pay $5. My children (and I - I have to admit) have the absolute best wardrobes. At least half their clothes are brilliant quality designer which I've picked up for basically nothing. My kids look like million dollar kids - which enables me to spend my money on things like HOLIDAYS. Just got back from the snow (which was WONDERFUL).

PS: If you're concerned about people wearing the clothes before you buy them, a lot of clothes you buy have been 'worn'/tried on anyway (my friend works in retail. It's common for the shop assistants (and their families) to wear the clothes that they sell, then get them cleaned and back on the racks via being re-badged).

When my kids were little i made most of their clothes, so no, i didn't.

And i would never dress my girls in anything skimpy. Even with them as teenagers now, i don't let them leave the house wearing anything risky.

And to be honest, none of my friends would either. Having said that, times are changing, not sure its for the better tho.

Hi Luvin
As our mother would say they make a rod for their own back. It is the young ones who select the brand names and nothing else. I could never afford it and certainly would not encourage it. I think it should be banned. It still leaves kids open to harassment because if their parent's can't afford or choose not to buy the brands name clothes they are still penalised for it.
