[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks all.  DD hates tights (or the idea of them).[/quote]

She likes nylons better? I'm surprised that an 11 year old likes pantyhose better than tights, but then again, I'm an adult who still finds nylons much itchier than tights so who am I to comment? Hope you found what you needed.

I've always found pantyhose reasonably comfortable. This is the first I've heard that they're supposed to be itchy. Maybe there are some brands that are more comfortable than others -- I've always worn l'eggs brand.

At 11 I think OP's DD could probably get away with tights if she wanted to or for warmth given that it's winter, but since she doesn't like tights pantyhose are the obvious choice. That's what she'll be expected to wear for dressy occasions within the next few years anyway, so if she's willing to do so now I don't think I would discourage it or express my surprise to her.

As for a coat, I'm not sure of OP's preferred price range but I would consider jcrew if you are willing for this to be an investment piece (might be risky at age 11 unless you know someone you can pass it down to -- a younger relative/friend/whatever when DD outgrows it OR if DD is already in adult sizes).[/quote]
