[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for everyone's suggestions. My girls are on the shorter side and very thin. The 11 year generally fits into size 8 clothes and the 13 year old into size 10/12. But they have long legs so it seems like the shorts are especially short on them. We did find some jean "midi" style at children's place with adjustable waist that everyone could agree on though..

I especially appreciated whoever posted the thinkorblue link - it really highlighted my feelings on it - I am not a prude (don't need them in a burqa) but I also don't understand why girls clothes (in our supposedly enlightened era) are still dramatically different from boys'. It's only if consumers ask for something different that clothing lines will adapt.

That would be me! And yes I agree completely. [b]I also think it’s absurd how much criticism people get when they want to be slightly more covered.[/b] No need to call people prude just because they want their shorts to be an inch or two longer.

OP I wish you mentioned the fact that your girls are on the smaller side. If that’s the case try Primary. They have shorts in various lengths. I just ordered a couple for my 9 year or and 7 year old so that they can try them out. I’m looking for something mid calf which is what I would be comfortable with my girls wearing at school.[/quote]

DP, and tell me about it to the bolded. Cannot believe the poster on here who angrily cannot handle that other girls themselves might want to not wear a 2.5" inseam or whatever. It's crazy the talking out of both sides of one mouth going on with "wear what you want and be confident" and yet "you're a prude if you don't want to show your abs and upper thighs!" How about I won't judge your daughters who enjoy short shorts and you don't judge my daughters who don't?

Also for smaller kids who like the lululemon look (and there's nothing wrong with that), I like the girls' Crz Yoga dupes on amazon. I had to size down a little on my girls to get them to not be so wide, but they're great athletic shorts.[/quote]
