[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confused how Brandy Melville fits into this vsco girl phenomenon?  Anyone else really dislike this brand and the one size garbage?  I refuse to buy it and my girls know exactly why.  Seems like a disconnect to a vsco vibe.[/quote]

I keep hearing about Brandy Melville on DCUM, but I've never seen or heard about it anywhere else, including from my 7th grade DD (at a downcounty middle school).

Are they brick-and-mortar stores? Can't remember ever seeing one at Montgomery or either of the Tyson's malls. Are the clothes really expensive? I just have no frame of reference here. [/quote]

They sell it at Nordstrom in the women’s department. It’s more for 20 something/college age/teens, not really for middle schoolers, IMO. My DD, 11, did just ask me about it, but I don’t think she’d fit into yet. [/quote]

Your 11 yr old is probably just the right size.

That would be the Juniors department at Nordstrom (although they don't use that term), and only in the stores, not online. It is in with Topshop and BP. Brandy Melville was VERY popular in DD's middle school. The bottoms are tiny, like a 22" waist size. The tops are much more generous (more like a women's medium). And the hemlines are generally quite short. Yet it is more age appropriate than Forever 21, and more affordable than Abercrombie. My 5'10" DD (14 yrs old) can wear the sweatshirts, the dresses, and the jewelry.

There is a store on M St in Georgetown. They have a very primitive online store.

The ethics of one (tiny) size does make me sick to my stomach. Body-shaming built in.[/quote]
