Teen stripper outfits, preteen stripper outfits, and highly sexualized girls clothing aimed at toddlers and elementary school children. I'm annoyed. Heck, disgusted in fact. Recently I had noticed a couple of repellent outfits (a size 7/8 (that's for seven or eight year olds, but what fit my daughters who are less than 6) skirt with the words "sweet meat" printed on the butt, for example) and been discussing this with D. who has noted many such clothing mistakes. Thongs for children as young as seven. See-through skirts and tops. PVC dresses for preteens.
I am not usually accused of being either a prude or socially conservative (hey, back me up here, would you folks?), and am not opposed to these clothing items on people who understand them. Anyway, I might be worsed to rant again about this at a later date.
Christian Science Monitor, on preteen clothing.
LA Times on "tween" marketing.
Madonna designed clothing for ages 2-16.
Thongs for the 7-14 year old crowd.
