Do shops sell inappropriate clothes for little girls ?

If you are an old stick-in-the-mud fuddy duddy then that makes two of us because I absolutely agree with you I was looking in a shop this afternoon for some garments for my new grandson and to reach the 3-6 month department I had to go through those with clothes for older children. I was amazed at what I saw. Admittedly it is a long time since I went to the children's department but come off it! The clothes for the girls were not at all appropriate in my opinion. I don't know where the blame lies. I guess if manufacturers are producing them it is because the masses are buying them Children don't seem to get a chance to be children any more - and on abother note... I saw a user here yesterday who said that he started watching p*rn at six years old Thats curely is the parents fault for letting it be available. If I have any say in my grandson's upbringing, he will be allowed to be a child for as long as he should be!

I haven't run into this type of clothing yet when I shop for my girls. Maybe I'm in the wrong store. lol In the past I caught my older daughter a few times thinking she was going to sneak out in her little sisters clothing which is way tight on her. They are close in age but shes a bit thicker in size where baby sister is a teeny tiny thing. So I asked her one day why she insisted on dressing like pedo bait. She wanted to know what that meant so I told her and she hasn't attempted to dress like a short hooker any longer.

I feel that children grow up far too quickly these days and the media and fashion industry have cashed in on this and produced these clothes for tiny little kids. To be honest I don't relly like seeing little children wearing these clothes, it may be ok once they are teenagers, but I would much sooner see these kids beling allowed to be kids.

count me in too - i agree with you! they should be rocking their dolls to sleep now! just imagine how will be their morality when they grow up more! by the time they reach adolescence they'd be ready to do all kinds of things with the mentality they are getting from now onwards! the world's advancing with each passing day but we should keep certain things in mind and preserve them - and modesty is one of them.

I definitely agree with you. I just don't understand why clothes for kids are mostly like that, back less clothes and some tubes, mini skirts, I mean I don't understand, kids are supposed to be kept warm by clothes and be protected from insect bites, but what stores are selling are the opposite. There isn't much to see in a little girl of they want them to look sexy, c'mon, they're just little girls. If ever i'm gonna have a daughter, I will never ever have her clothe on skimpy outfits specially when she's still a little girl, that is just a bad example, in my opinion.

I blame the parents for the clothing that kids wear. Who's money was used to buy it? If the parents stopped buying these often inappropriate clothing items, the shops would stop selling them. That makes two old stick-in-the-mud fuddy duddies...

Yes, I have felt the stores have been selling skanky clothes for young girls. I've been very disgusted by it. It made it hard to shop for my girls. However, my daughters were quite tomboyish in their dressing style until their tween years so I didn't have to worry about it much. I can rarely get my girls into dresses even now at 13 and 16... only for very fancy occasions and then they need a new dress for whatever comes along. Expensive and annoying. My 13yo is graduating grade 8 this year and we just went shopping for a dress for her graduation. So many of the dresses are strapless. I can't even find a dress for myself that has sleeves! I want to be able to wear a dress to church but church-appropriate dresses are hard to find. It's pretty chilly here in the winter in Canada and finding a dress with sleeves is necessary, but almost impossible. What is wrong with designers these days? Can't they design stuff for every type of person? They are still gearing towards skinny, sexy women and that's just not right.

hi louisefrank if you are an old stick in the mud fuddy duddy, then I am with you on this. I have seen some really young girls in clothes that usually you expect to see on a street walker not a kid of ten or twelve years old. They should be little children until they are in their teens not messing around with rouge,.lipsticks and tight skirts and blouses or tops so low cut its pathetic. whatever happened to little girls'being little girls, who is trying to make them grow up too fast? what ever are their parents thinking? If I was a mom I would not let my preteens wear lipstick and cosmetics and date teenage boys, I would want them to have a normal childhood first before the terrible teens.

I have seen some very inappropriate clothing on little girls. Who lets them dress like that? And not being taught to be ladies in these short skirts is sad. Parents don't care. They listen to a child yell for what they want and get it rather than try to teach them some morals and how to be appropriate. Ya, we are both being old stick-in-the-muds. So let it be. My grandmother would turn over in her grave...

No matter what is sold in the stores is doesn't mean you have to purchase any of it. I think some people think it is cute to see girls dressed this way until the girls start to become aware of sexuality and then they want to turn them into little kids again. The world we live in has too many of the wrong kinds of influences for kids and with all pedifiles you would think mothers would be more careful.

I agree with you and I'm one of the youngest members on here.

It doesn't matter if those shops sell inappropriate clothes for little girls, I doubt that the little girls have the money to pay for their own clothes. It's the parents who buy those things for them and if they are stupid enough to buy those for their kids then they are to blame.

I think it is a bit out of hand. There are some awfully 'adult' looking things for children. Most little girls like to dress up sometimes but that can easily be achieved with a dressing up box just for play. The dolls are just as bad. Dolls now look like toddlers but with make up and sassy looking clothing. I am sure if a child is bought that type of thing, they feel it is quite acceptable to dress the same because otherwise they wouldn't be, being given toys epitomizing it. Music trends can encourage it too. I remember seeing two children standing outside a department store shouting 'give me what I want, what I really really want' and cavorting about quite graphically and thinking, Oh that is awful, they are so small they don't understand the actual meaning of what they are doing.
