I remember when I was younger most of the shorts in the girls department were a just a little higher than knee length. I can't even remember seeing halter tops and stuff that some little girls wear today. Can we really fault the parents if that is the majority of the clothing available. Some older generation parents take the attitude of "oh that is the style now, so it must be ok"

You can still see what I call "classic" children's clothes, such as those cute little smocked dresses, in retailers catering to a certain subset of the upper class. These type of stores advertise in say,
Town & Country.
I like the classic look on kids. And if I get married and am blessed with a girlchild, she will not be wearing any midriff-baring tops [I've seen some pre-teens w/jiggly stomachs that look!
] or booty shorts until maybe, she's a teenager.
Hopefully, she'll understand that a classic look always is polished.
