Children's Clothing Companies Designing Clothing Too Sexy for Little Girls
And so, why are so many clothing manufactures making clothing with heart or v-necks, even designing and picturing toddlers with bikini tops that have the two triangles? Also, the children's section of most of the department stores seem to be no different from juniors, as the mannequins often have the chests to fill these clothes that the young girls do not.
Possibly, they think that breasts may make their clothes look more attractive and so lead to better profits; however, it encourages young girls to want to dress sexy at a time when they do not even know what the word "sexy" means.
And yet, it seems unfair to put all of the blame on marketing. After all, these outfits aren't sitting on their shelves collecting dust; they're selling.
It seems strange that parents would want their children dressing so old, especially with all the reports of pedophilia on the news and cable television, the last thing they should want to do is give someone a reason to look at their child sexually. Of course, no mother is standing on line at the department store hoping the clothes she buys her child will make her happy, help her fit in, and than get her kidnapped and molested. Parents who buy these clothing for their children simply aren't thinking.
I remember when I was young when what you could wear, how short the skirt or thin the straps, was a rite of passage. I was so excited the first time as a twelve year old girl, I was allowed to wear a spaghetti strap tank top. It made me feel so grown up: 1.) because I was finally big enough to fit into the clothes my older sister and her friends were wearing and 2.) because my mother let me walk out of the house in it. My first halter in junior high and tube top in high school were equally exciting.
Now, it seems like there is nothing for girls to grow into or look forward to, as many of them are getting it all right away. Unfortunately for them, they are losing out on one of the more positive experiencing of maturing.

I agree, I think there is somthing very special about gradualy growing up and the exitment when you'r old enough to wear somthing and those girls are missing it. it's so sad.
It is repressive people like you who make girls grow up thinking there is something wrong with themselves and their bodies. If they enjoy wearing sexy miniskirts, bikinis, and dresses then they should be allowed to, the only thing you are doing if you don't let them is making sure they will do it anyway and hide it from you. I can't count the number of little friends my daughters, age 6 and 8, have who come to our house and change into some of my daughter's sexy outfits as soon as they get here. This is one reason my daughters are so popular, their little friends want to look as sexy as they do in the clothes we buy them.

Kids should never be wearing sexy clothes. They don't know was sexy is!!!!! Where are the parents stopping it????
Great article and so true. Seeing little Britney-esque 6 year olds in the neighborhood makes me so uncomfortable. Kids do need to go through rites of passage...to have new rules and new maturity to look forward to. If you get it all at age 6, the only steps left to take are dangerous ones.
It's true, and sad.
STBT's(soon to be teens) ROCK!
I agree with a lot of what you say. It seems many parents today want to friends with their kids more than being the parents. It is not that I think people should be complete and total dictators with kids but there has to be a balance somewhere. My parents were VERY strict with me and I hated all of it as a kid. However, looking back, some things were good for me and taught me displine, courtesy, and consideration and respect which is truly needed in the real word.
Spaghetti straps at 12??
Halters in junior high??
TUBE TOPS in high school??
EEP!!!!!
At 24 those are still clothing items I won't be caught dead in!!!
Maybe during the summer at the beach, or out clubbing at 20 looking to get laid, but as TEENAGE every day school wardrobe items?? Well... No wonder kids feel the need to be skanky with this preceding them..
Great message to the article, but you fouled it with your admissions!
