She just explained that her daughter has some social issues and has been teased about clothes in the past.[/quote]

Different poster, who was in the same boat as OP's DD as a kid. So what? Let her wear what she likes anyway. Teach her that she does not have to care if others like how she dresses, and as far as clothes go, as long as the person wearing it likes it & it meets any applicable dress code, that's all that matters. The other kids are the ones in the wrong for teasing her; let her be happy and confident in liking any reasonable (not obscene or wrong for the environment) outfit she happens to like.

My mother used to insist on dressing me exactly like other kids so I would "fit in", but it did not work and I was still mostly on the fringes socially, so all it did was give me massive anxiety about looking just right so I would be good enough. In my opinion unless there's a major reason why an outfit is not okay, clothing should be a child's choice.[/quote]
