    One reason I love Matilda Jane-keeping little girls little, twirling, happy & carefree. No words like juicy on the butt. Longevity and awesome designs that grow w/ your girl. Check it out:

    That's beautiful stuff. But I am not at a point in life where I can pay $45 for a top for my toddler and feel okay about it . I can try to fake it at Old Navy and Once Upon a Child.

      1. Leggings
      2. Suspenders
      3. Overalls
      4. Dress
      Old Navy has elastic waist jeans in toddler sizes. They are what my (30 lb 6 yo) daughter has worn for the past several years.

        Oh, it's discriminatory! But it's not you who's being discriminatory. It's the whole industry--designers, purchasers, and retailers. It's horrifying that baby girls are sexualized by this industry--just look at all the candy, glazed donuts, strawberries and such on the prints, and the flirtatious text on the shirts. Delicate fabrics that make parents tell the girls to keep out of the mud. And short skirts make it harder for girls to romp and play; no coverage means that cuts and scrapes are much worse when they fall. Kids this age ought to be kitted out in a rash guard from the neck down! ::
        And PREACH sister! I agree. It's so disrespectful of children's needs. They need to be free to play for their development.

        I buy capris for my little girl for the Summer so that her knees can have some coverage. I hate that so much of the Summer clothes for girls are just short shorts. What's the purpose of that?

        When I look at the way girls are dressed/illustrated in movies they are so often in ridiculous sexy, skimpy, or delicate clothes.

        I just finished watching Star Wars Force Awakens again, and I noticed that the first new clothes Rey got showed a lot of cleavage. Really? To fight the dark side of the force we need a low cut shirt? Did they dress Poe Dameron with an open shirt showing hairy chest? No! He got the right clothing for the job.

        And it's so hard to even find women's sweat pants with pockets! I know we want to look skinny and pockets add bulk--but surely the fashion industry could think of something!
