I always made costumes and there was no reason to make them sexy. I enjoyed making her a peacock,plenty of feathers ,body suit ,tights and a skirt,color and fun but not sexy. She has her whole life when she becomes an adult to be sexy ,not as a child. My daughter is a wonderful person,beautiful and strong and glad to be a woman.

I do not let my children wear clothes that I feel are inappropriate, that includes phrases like Hottie etc on 8 year olds clothing, not going to happen. I have 5 girls and they will have self respect whether they like it or not.<br/><br/>mommyhoodisthankless{AT}gmail.com This frustrates me too, its an endless cycle of kids pestering their parents to buy, then the girls see their friends and then they pester THEIR parents to buy and so on.
