Actually, Zara (which I think 3 links on the list were) is a very popular children’s brand in Europe as well as America

Zara is appropriate for Europe. Not this other crap.

Hi! I don’t know if you are still looking but I was there with DD yesterday and here is what she bought. My 15 yo daughter wanted the yellow and grey but there are so many options. https://www.hollisterco.com/shop/us/p/hollister-callie-reversible-cami-62238319?faceout=model&seq=01&pagefm=navigation-grid&prodvm=navigation-grid

Do they wear bras with it? None of the models do

She can’t fit Zara kids anymore which I think bothered her, but found some good pjs at Gap Kids. (Her aunts sent her a package from Zara kids this past spring, and every item was too small, and for the first time in her life that I know of, she seemed upset at her body). We went into American Eagle for the first time for each of us, and got help getting non-cheeky shorts, and I got her a Henley tee that is very fitted (xs) - more on that later. One pair of the Offside shorts were so tight on her - I realized we didn’t understand the sizing. Anyway.

Our area has Edikted, Pac Sun, Brandy Melville and Princess Polly, and we were each completely overwhelmed. The styles looked both tiny but mature, and Brandy Melville was stuffed with people. We could have bought one tee, but the line was a city block long, and the dressing rooms were closed. We didn’t find anything in these stores, and while none of it is me, I was open to it. So some tweens may not be ready for these highly targeted stores.

The American Eagle Henley that she seemed so comfortable in at the store is a flop because wearing it in real life, the top buttons pop and a fragment of her camisole bralette is shown, and she reflexively pulls on it. I talked to her about how I really want to help her get what she likes within reason (budget), but that my whole goal is to never have her feel extremely self-conscious in the clothes she’s in, to have the thought about her shirt opening or her butt out run at the same time she’s trying to have fun. I think she understood that. Anyway — we have lived on hand me downs and little kid clothes for her whole life, so this was wild.

The owner of Brandi Melville is an admirer of Hitler and hates Jews. There is physical verification on this . People who continue to shop there are either uninformed or don’t care.

There’s a lot more there than just that. So it’s fine to shop there with all the other racist and misogynist crap he’s done? It only crosses the line at antisemitism!??

I understand there’s a lot just as horrible going on at the company but I didn’t want to write a long thing. People can research it. They should.
