Dear Children's Clothing Fashion Designers,

It has come to my attention that you are creating an article of clothing that is completely inappropriate for little girls. They are unable to bend over, sit down, or play on the floor without revealing parts of their anatomy that do not need to be nor should they ever be revealed to anyone besides their parents or their physician.

Low-rise, hip-hugger, and/or skinny jeans should not nor should they ever be made for a girl under the age of 14. (I personally think skinny jeans ought to be outlawed- but that's another post for another time.) I have sat in elementary and middle school classrooms and watched these poor girls sit in their chairs at their desk and look like the common plumber. They cannot get down on the floor and play. They cannot bend over and pick up a pencil they dropped on the floor without having to yank on the waistband of their jeans. They cannot run and play on the playground because their jeans are so tight they cannot bend their legs in them. And the poor little girls who are overweight...they can hardly breathe as their muffin top strains against their shirt. It is a sad, sad reality of today's fashion.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Boys can run, jump, play, bend over, break-dance ,should they choose to do so, in their jeans and never once do they have to yank on their jeans to pull them up or yank on their shirt to pull it down over their waistband. All children should have such freedom. It is ridiculous that these young girls are subjected to "fashion" in such a way that their very freedom to move from one place to another is hindered.

No behinds hanging out or hands pulling up waistbands in this photo. Just boys playing and having a good time.

Here is my son, hanging out on the floor and not the least bit worried about his jeans falling off.

I beg and plead to you to please stop making these low-rise, hip-hugger, and/or skinny jeans for the girls under the age of 14. It is cruel and unusual punishment for the poor things!

Sincerely,

The mother who is soooo thankful she has 4 boys and no hiney cracks.
