Do many mothers only let their daughters wear collared shirts ? If you, then you may as well just order her long sleeved polos from Lands End or similar; you can cut the sleeves to make them 3/4 length.

In case you still didn't see anything: Target has some nice long sleeved tops and a few sweaters on their website. You just have to scroll through the pages. Kohls.com also has some long sleeved tops in their 4-6x girls section that goes up to size 7. Very Happy

Also if you google promo codes, in addition to the sale Kohls has a 15% off coupon plus free shipping for an order over $75. Sometimes they have 20-30% too.

Thanks everyone. Just saw this. And I still haven't bought her clothing. At this point we'll just get through summer (yey, camp tee shirts!) and I'll shop for fall.

Tehilla: I'll try target and kohls. Gymboree has lovely quality. When my oldest was in the before 3 days I got a ton of stuff on ebay and they were still good for my younger daughter when she needed them.

Thanks Very Happy

gymboree has a really nice skirt for 20$ I also have an extra coupon for 20% off pm if you want it, there is also a flowery summer skirt on sale for 16% now all the stores have long sleeve shirts.

childrens place black and denim skirts are 13$ the waist is big. but it covers the knees. they also have nice shirts.

lands end has a dress that covers the knees. its 24.40

regarding the denim or black skirt at TCP, have you bought it? did you see the length? looks like the waist is adjustable - does that look correct to you?
if so, what size would I get if I wanted it to fit a tall 9 year old?

I bought them for my girls. The waistbands (unfortunately) are not adjustable. Sad

But we love the skirts! I don't think they will last as long as the adjustable ones but will do for as long as they are tznius length.

I have two very tall girls. One is very slender also (4 years old). I bought her a 5 and it fits perfectly. For my tall but average weight almost 6 year old I bought a size 8.

The length is below the knee comforably even for sitting, in the sizes I bought.

the waist isn't adjustable. so if your dd is skinny it will be on the hips. - last year the skirt was the same way. it was long when it was on the hips. mid calve, and now its closer to knee length.-

hm a 9 year old. I got the 6x for a 5 year old and it is pretty long. I called up the store they said that the measurements are on the size chart and it its for at the knee skirts.

zigi:
thanx. I have the one from last year and the year before (both are tiered styles, but one has a zipper and snap in the front, the other is all tiered.) Which one are you referring to when you say that it is similar?

I found that I took in the one with the snap front and pockets . I have it in a 10 and 12 (yes my daughter is tall) Its wide but still normal looking. I wonder if I get a 12 or 14 if it will look right proportionally. The price is still so much less than the jewish stores (unless you can recommend something - but that is the whole thread)

Anybody else buy it?

Tehilla:
Thank you for pointing out your reply. I guess I just skipped to the end of the thread and saw Zigi's.
Ok so it seems safe to buy the 10 or 12. Got it that there is no adjustable waist.
Its totally worth it with a coupon. I just wish that I had some free ship coupons Very Happy

- can't have it all.

As my girls grow, it is really challenging for my budget conscious/value driven shopping attitude to find clothes that make my girls feel comparable to their peers. I am the kind of person who wants to be in the acceptable range - not on the high end nor on the lowest point.

I am reaching that point where I have to bite the bullet for some things and pay more. I feel so uncomfortable going into jewish stores and having to ask prices (because there are no prices marked) and feeling like a nothing because I don't want to pay $40 for a skirt etc. One place had a clearance rack and I found a decent skirt and jacket ($10 for each piece)- for shabbos for my daughter - they wouldn't let her try it on - why should the "bargain" customer be taking up room in the dressing room when more important sales were to be made?!

tech mom the one with the zipper and snaps.

I know what you mean about dressing you dd! I agree, I want to be middle road. I had to change my idea of what a good price is. 20$ for a skirt isn't bad I'm not looking forward to have to pay 30-40 in the frum stores. I used to be able to dress dd in brand names for 5$ head to toe. oh well. b'h for coupons, sales, gymbucks etc..

these are skorts btw, not skirts. I still haven't gotten any shopping done for her and now it's fall. Children's place looks just as inappropriate as ever. Kohl's is not better. I guess I'm going to Boro Park after all.

ok. I just went to childrens place today after work. a few things. their socks are on sale, ten for ten dollars. you can print out a fifteen percent off coupon if you plan on going. and I saw some skirts that looked like they may be long enough. kinda pleated with a bend over top with a heart on it , its not called bent over its something else where the top of the skirt is wide and you fold it over or s/t like that. anyways, it looks like it is long enough. good luck.

carters has turtlenecks that are two for fourteen dollars. is that a good price? I like long sleeve undershirts for the kids in the winter but only could find turtlenecks. I know cuz I looked last year. in israel I was always able to buy long sleeve undershirts for the kids in the winter. where else could I find s/t like this? any ideas?
