30% of Girls' Clothing Is Sexualized in Major Sales Trend

50. I have a very tall 10-year-old

She's as tall as short adults now, so she's in clothing that's generally for girls older than she is. It's very hard finding stuff appropriate for 10-year-olds, and it won't be long before she's so tall she'll have to be in adult clothing. The tricky thing for her now is finding stuff tall enough that isn't too big otherwise, as the assumption is that it's an average sized 14- or 15-year-old, not a very tall 10-year-old, who hasn't developed at all, so the clothes don't fit well regardless.

It is hard getting clothes for girls. Even for my younger one (3, but also very tall so in clothes for kids a bit older.) The clothes still, even for very young girls, sometimes look fetish-y. Like naughty schoolgirl style, or cheerleader style, or whatever. I'd buy it was just preppy schoolgirl if the skirts weren't so short.
