    Hi all
    having a problem finding clothes for an inbetweener... she's out grown the kids sizes, but unfortunately having problem buying the sizes in womens clothes, as she hasn't developed a chest yet, but needs the space on the waist and hips.
    Where do people find clotihes that are well fitting for a tall for her age 12 year old, that doesn't have a womans' figure, but is slightly larger in the tummy than average kids? H & M is hit and miss, and due to budget I've been trying to rely on Penny's
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Is there a New Look near you, or could you order online? They do a "Teen" range that's very fashionable, but age appropriate. New Look Online
    I work in Topshop and young girls often try clothes from the Petite range, but they always end up being too low cut, or too short, basically too "old" for them.

    Dunnes maybe? I used to get clothes in there when I was an inbetweener. Benetton too, they have all sorts of sizes from what I remember.

    Tammy Girl was great wasn't it!

    I would suggest New Look as well, can't really think of anywhere else, I remember avoiding Dunnes at all costs at that age!

    Thanks all! New look unfortunately, its all long, and slim fitting, even the hanky hems are too snug around her tummy without a chest to balance it out.
    But I'll deffo give zara a try, and managed to get a few bits in tesco of all places!
    Thanks again for the suggestions:)
