I'm sorry. I don't understand what's wrong with it. I, personally, wouldn't have purchased it because it doesn't attract me but if we received it as a gift, I'd add it to the closet rotation.

At least it doesn't say anything snarky. Babies wearing snarky clothes is what annoys me. My mo mkeeps sending "That's it! I'm calling grandma!" onesies, which are borderline for me...I use them for Skype calls.

If they are the type to notice, wear once, take a pic, and forget about it. If not, just donate/consign.

Thank you! What a great Halloween costume!

What's the big deal?

OK, I agree with PPs that it's nothing offensive, but let's not go overboard.

I'll trade you two toddler cheer leading outfits including underpants with writing on the butt for that little number.

I honestly don't see the problem. It's adorable. Look, I really dislike football and would never buy my son clothes with football designs, but others did and my son wore them.

Nms but better than 'princess' or 'daddy's little girl' crap.

It's cute.

Why not consider it dress up clothes she can play with

Keep an eye out for corns and tutus

Crowns and tutus...tehehehe! Unless of course Larla wants to be the autumn harvest princess ballerina

But doesn't this potentially encourage more gifts of the same ilk?

No, it will not matter one way or another. If he is going to buy these kinds of gifts, he is going to buy them whether or not you are a gracious receiver.

Guys who like Harleys that much are likely not to notice if your daughter wore the outfit every day or just once to be polite. It is not on their radar.

If you are this worried about it, then next year (or around her bday) start dropping obvious hints to BIL. "Little Larla is so into princesses this year. Everything is pink and Disney for her. You will be the best uncle ever if you could find her this sparkle princess dress up costume." Or "Larla has decided to be a ballerina when she grows up. Keep an eye out for corns and tutus...I believe Target has a line. She will love you forever if you show up with something ballerina for her birthday."

Obvious hints that are not insulting to his biker tastes. Guys are simple. He just wants to get her something that he thinks is adorable. Channel that love towards whatever it is that works for your family, but don't insult the gift giver.

This is the key. It's not offensive, or inappropriately suggestive. Let her wear it.

It's a good opportunity to practice not being a helicopter parent, OP.

My FIL is a big Harley guy and we get these type of things all the time. Doesn't bother me in the least. Granted it's nothing I would pick out but it isn't offensive or revealing so I would put it on her for "play clothes" without batting an eye.

Not my style. I wouldn't put my kid in it, but wouldn't say anything either.

Is BIL from the Midwest?
