She's a tad sensitive about clothing, just like her dear old mum. She doesn't like heavy t-shirts, only the really really light ones, and she won't wear any pants that have ties, buttons, or aren't very stretchy. She's discovered clothing that she likes, that are comfy and stylish, and feel good on her. I don't feel that this is a bad thing, per se, but the clothing she likes are expensive and I'm looking for knockoffs. I'd be concerned that most producers of knockoffs are going to go for the same look and not get the same feel. I wonder if you could buy fabric and have these made for your daughter? Would probably not save any money you could end up with something a lot better made and would likely last a lot longer. -Jan |

How did this morph into Marjorie only shopping for designer labels? Well, Marjorie has been sending mixed messages and changing her story throughout the thread. In her first post, requesting website suggestions, she said: I would like suggestions of web sites that carry hip, well made clothing. There was *no* mention of comfort anywhere in that post. If comfort is the primary concern, wouldn't it have made sense to at least mention it as a criterion? We went to National Jean Co this afternoon and the average price of a pair of jeans was over $200. If she was actually shopping for yoga pants, as she later claimed, what was the point of complaining about the price of jeans? Then she goes on to ask for knockoffs, which as others have mentioned are likely to imitate a style in looks far more than in comfort. In the post where she clarifies that it is all about comfort, she still goes on to say: Fourth, I'm SOOO not into allowing my DD (or DS for that matter) to become a geek outcast because I'm too cheap to buy what the other kids are wearing. It doesn't sound like it's all about comfort to me. It sure sounds like she buys into the notion that her child has to have whatever clothes "everyone else" is wearing lest she suddenly become a "geek outcast". So... the discussion of not necessarily giving in to a teen's desire for designer clothing still seems pretty on-topic to me. Even though there is a perfectly understandable element of comfort, that's clearly not all that is going on there. --Robyn .. |

I've gotten some running-suit sorta dealies at Target that look pretty similar to the Juicy Couture ones. Not that I've ever WORN a Juicy one, so I can't say if they feel the same. I've gotten yoga pants there too that are fine. -- Hillary Israeli, VMD Lafayette Hill/PA/USA/Earth "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Have you checked out the local dance supply stores or dance catalogs? I
know that Danskin and a couple of the other dance designers produce that kind of clothing for practice-wear. I am guessing based on the quality of their practice-leotards that it might be to your daughter's liking. Karen G mother of a 5 year old who must have seamless socks and tights |

I just bought three t-shirts at Target which were very light, so I'm not sure that excluding Target on this basis makes sense. Has she actually checked out the other stores, or is she excluding them out of hand? Beth |
