Princess Peach Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I would love some suggestions for clothing stores to check out for my 9yo DD. I'd like some things for church (do not need to be super dressy) and also things for everyday. She is at an in-between age where she does not want to look too babyish (Gymboree is out, for example). I don't mind trendy clothes and shorter skirts are ok b/c she likes to wear leggings underneath. I just don't know where to start! She loves Mini Boden and drools over the catalog, but I'd like to not spend a fortune IYKWIM! Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that age, girls come in all shapes and sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmulcahy Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My girls like Justice for Girls. You can get 40% coupons online. Never shop without a coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masaki Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Oldnavy.com? They have sales regularly and offer free shipping on orders $50+. The size guide charts are really helpful. I just purchased some things for my boys a few days ago and got 20% off my purchase, plus free shipping. Woo-hoo! Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 She sounds similarly sized to my DD. Her current favorite is Aeropostale's XS and S. They run VERY small. She can even wear some of their 00 short length jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaffodilDreams Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Ebay or consignment sales for Mini Boden. Much better prices that way, and those clothes really do hold up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can even wear some of their 00 short length jeans. My girls love Aero too. I have also ordered from PS Aeropostale. They have a 30% off sale several times a year. It is called the freinds and family sale. You prob have to sign up for it online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 She is about 4'6" and around 60 lbs. :) Then I would suggest Aeropostale too. The clothes seemed to be shaped for preteens and young teens who haven't developed a whole lot. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Do you have a Francesca's Collection near you? There are not many, but their "adult" clothes (they are all for adults) are getting to be too small for my muscular 5'3" daughter, who wears a size 2 or 3 everywhere else. When my youngest was 8 or 9, she easily fit into their smalls. This is a hard age and size to shop for. We had our best luck in junior sections and S and XS sizes for junior'ish places like Gap, American Eagle, etc. It's a hard couple of years when it comes to clothes-shopping.

mereminerals Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 My girls like Justice for Girls. You can get 40% coupons online. Never shop without a coupon. My dd 10 loves Justice for Girls. She also likes Aeropostale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 My dd likes aeropostale and Delia's. I like Delia's because they have a more generous cut then aero. They usually have decent sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
