Hugs. Please tell your daughter that as upsetting as it might be, she should feel proud to be doing a mitzvah - venishmartem es nafshosechem meod. She/you is not going shopping because it's necessary for her and people around her health. When this is over, please get her something nice and special to wear.

I totally get it this is super challenging. You're not leaving the house anyway can she just stay in pajamas if there's nothing clean? I know that getting dressed helps us feel normal. But with nowhere to go if she's happier pajamas that maybe that's okay temporarily.

She can wear hoodies and sweatshirts, she doesn't have to wear an outfit every day.

Is there a friend whose child has outgrown her dresses who could lend some hand me down clothing until you are able to shop or products bought online arrive?

Like others I am not understanding the issue.

You can order some cheap clothing to be worn inside the house to be delivered.

Where is she wearing clothing so she needs different outfits every day?

Several stores in my area advertised that they will do phone orders. And then curbside pickup. Try calling some places near you, I’m sure they’ll be happy to do it.or online ordering

I ordered four jumpers, IOW sleeveless summer dresses, and several long sleeve tees from Walmart for my hard-to-fit and picky 8 year-old. I think it all cost under $25. She has worn the same dress every Sunday this season, turning up her nose at everything else she has, and outgrew everything from last summer. Now I have to pray that these things fit and that she'll deign to wear them! (Yes, she chose them!) As for Shabbos and Yom Tov? Nothing!
Anyone have links for cheap shabbos clothes and shoes for a chubby, picky 8 year-old?

OP, here's what I understood from your post:

Pre-corona, your daughter mostly wore school uniforms; therefore, she had only a limited number of non-unufirm casual clothes.

Now that there is no school, those casual outfits are all she can wear, so you need to do laundry very frequently.

Can she wear her school outfit even though there is no school?

Can you get some inexpensive tops for her (hand-me-downs or something from a cheap store)?

Wow thanks everyone for understanding. I usually bargain hunt stores sales rack because I need very cheap and tznius. My kids want to daven and play (by themselves ) once a day right in front of the house but she is embarrassed of the neighbors andshe feels its not fair unless that one dress is washed then she is not going outside and I'm finding that hard.And feels its not fair. The houses are close together. All neighbors are in similar situation in and out of the house to get some air. We warned our kids not to go next to anyone and we only let them out just for a small amount of time. we are not in quarantine but I don't feel its safe to run around shopping now. Wish I was better prepared

If she has 3 outfits you only have to make a load every other day.
I actually do laundry everyday, we're home and we're a big family so why not...

Where are kids not allowed outside? I understood there's social distancing, not complete quarantine.
