knitgrl Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Anybody know where to find some? I hate shopping. My MIL will go to Kohl's and bring back short shorts. I have looked at Old Navy and found nothing but short shorts. My husband bought some off of amazon and they are short shorts. Our dd is 7. This is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Children's Place used to have longer shorts......haven't been there in a while though. I hate shopping too, so my Mom (who lives to shop) usually takes the dd's. They go to Justice (sale rack), Burke's, Marshall's, and Crazy 8 and can usually find some stuff that works. Both of my girls have crazy long legs so it's always been sort of an issue. When oldest was in public school we had issues with the whole fingertip length guide. I think Children's Place is where we got the most, but I will say their quality seemed to shift a couple of years back so I quit going as often. ETA: And Palais Royal- for my oldest who is out of the kids' store, it's a great place for shorts and jeans, but they have a decent kid selection too.

meena Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Do a search for girls' Bermuda shorts. We've gotten them from Target, Justice, and Old Navy in the past. I just did a quick search and JCPenney also came up. Edited April 6, 2017 by meena 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitgrl Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 My girls buy cargo shorts from the boys department. My 7yo might go along with this. I do not know if it would be acceptable to the youngest. I have no idea where she got her distinct preference for pink and frilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinivanMom Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Kohl's carries tons of Bermuda-length shorts and capri-length shorts. They even have them in the Juniors section if you are shopping for a tween. I would just take mil's short-shorts back and exchange them for something longer.

ktgrok Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Children's place has. Colorful denim shorts that are long. And their regular shorts aren't super short either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemsondana Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Last year I found some at JCPenney and bought a few pairs (they're kind of a stretchy knit denim, in colors). My mom found some reasonable ones at kohls - not quite bermudas, but mid-thigh. For sports, we found some under armor girls basketball shorts that come to the knee (we live near an outlet, so I don't know where/if you can find them elsewhere). I also ordered a pair of XS sized womens umbro shorts and this year, now that she's more of a 10-12, sometimes 14, they should fit. You know the choices are bad when my dad, out shopping with my mom for a birthday gift for my girl, looked at the shorts and said 'Those don't even look comfortable!'.

AnnE-girl Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We bought Bermuda shorts at Kohls and Target, but they did seem to sell out faster than the "normal" length shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We found mid length shorts at old navy a few weeks ago. We always find mid length or longer at target and JC penney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitgrl Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thanks for your help! It's nice to know there are choices out there. I knew there had to be, but you know, the whole hate shopping thing gets in the way. :001_rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningGlory Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I just bought my 7 year old daughter who has long legs some denim bermuda shorts from Target. Two different styles. Both have front and back pockets...which she loves. One pair has cuffs. I wanted to buy multiple pairs, but of course, they were already heavily picked over.

Tanaqui Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) My 7yo might go along with this. I do not know if it would be acceptable to the youngest. I have no idea where she got her distinct preference for pink and frilly. Buy from the boy's section. Get some flowery iron on patches and some lace or ruffle. Iron on the patches, sew the ruffle to the hem, add a pink belt, and voila - girls pants! Alternatively, yeah, go for the Bermuda shorts, or let her do what my kiddo does - capri leggings under shorts and skirts.

MercyA Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) I like longer shorts that are also loose-fitting. I've found that basketball shorts work really well. Something like this: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/champion-girls-75-mesh-shorts-16chagmshshrtxxxxapb/16chagmshshrtxxxxapb?&color=Pink%20Bloom I also really like these Bermuda shorts from Walmart. I know they are almost sold out, but I've found them on eBay and at a resale shop: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Faded-Glory-Girls-Pull-On-Bermuda-Shorts/51341678?variantFieldId=actual_color These Girls Will Be shorts are actually intentionally anti-frilly / girly, but they are also more modest than most I've seen. They're a bit pricey for me, though: http://girlswillbehq.com/perfect-play-shorts/ Edited April 6, 2017 by MercyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausmumof3 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I just wait till she wears a hole in her Jean knees, cut and hem. I must admit I bought a pj pack and they turned out to be the short shorts. I didn't think much till we were away at a holiday house with family and realised it was basically impossible for her to sit without underwear showing ... Poor kid.

Forget-Me-Not Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) I found Bermuda length at both Kohl's and Walmart recently. The ones at Kohls I've found 2-3 years in a row now. They're often displayed with the legs rolled up so they look shorter at first glance, but the cuffs aren't stitched down and can be unrolled. If you sew well enough to hem, you could convert pants from a thrift shop too. Edited April 6, 2017 by Forget-me-not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically make do with whatever I can find at Wal-mart, which is boy's jeans shorts. :P I probably be forced to branch out as DD gets older.
