anyone else wear kids clothes?

hi there!

im pretty small, 33-22-34 and 5ft 3 1/2. i usuallu wear size 6 but also love to wear kiddies clothes! my coat right now is age 11-12 Tesco very funky black. all my hoodies are tesco kids range as are my hiking combats and some of my work shirts. i also own a few New Look kids clothes and lovvve it, and also often buy into H&M teen range, and sometimes Debenhams kids range. im 25 btw.

i find shops that make size 4-6 clohtes tend to cost loads like miss selfridge and dorothy p's.

why should we pay more for clothes that use less fabric??:mad::mad::mad:

anyone else favour kids clothes? where do you shop for adult looking cool kiddie clothes?
do you cut the labels out?

omg anyone know where i can get small size evening wear without costing loads? i look in the kids ranges but they all look like a christmas fairy :frown:

OP, I think this may be why no one wants to have sex with you, if they think you are 12...
i don't wear kids clothes, but my friend does. I think its genius-you pay no tax!!!

I'm size 6-8 but I'm not sure most kids clothes would fit me. I know that some kids shorts would though.

I don't wear them however.
My friends bought tutu skirt things from the H&M kids section...

If I could fit then I would definitely have a look (as long as they didn't look obviously like kids clothes). No tax :woo:

haha :laugh: same here. I was shopping one day with my cousin and he has a little 4 years old boy , so we went into the kids section and I saw a pair of jeans that looked so lovely and I thought:damn, why can't I find this on female section?. My cousin was like:try them on :biggrin:
I'm 5'7'' and I have long slim legs, the jeans fit me but they're short so I wear them in summer with a pair of sandals :biggrin:
ps: they were only 15 pounds haha :laugh:

My friend has a petite frame but quite big boobs, she has few shirts she bought from kids section for 14 years olds and she always wear a tight bra so she could fit in those shirts :biggrin:
Sometimes I see beautiful clothes for kids and think:why dont they do that for mature people :frown:

I know :frown: its really lame! I am in desperate need of a 'going out top' and the kids party tops are perfect - Just the right amount of sparkle but I cant find them in adult sizes ANYWHERE!!
I think your friend has the right idea although I cant imagine it being that comfortable!

now zara i can wear their xs size however it is always too long for me. also, im curvy like an hourglass so zara's straight cuts dont ever fit right on me.
i never tried their kids range but went to that section a few times and it all looked like for 5 year olds. i find tescos kids range the best
