Contrary to published reports, I cannot believe that the clothes being sold by that wacky polygamist sect in Texas are selling fast. Have you seen them? Dresses for teens that reach down to the ankles? Are you kidding me?
I would be the first person to lash out at what I think are inappropriate styles marketed to little girls and teens these days. How many times have I made my nieces put a pair of shorts or skirt back on the rack because they were too short? How many times have I nixed the purchase of a camisole for a 3-year-old? What is this? Clothing by Lolita?
And yet, I would never ever make a niece of mine wear the Teen “Princess” dress sold by the polygamists. There’s nothing remotely “princess” about the 100 percent polyester, ankle-length gown with long sleeves and a high collar. What kingdom would such a princess rule? The Kingdom of Prude?
Even the ankle-length baby dresses look, well, wrong and out of date.
And one-piece underwear for female teens? I refuse to believe that anyone living outside the sect has actually purchased such nonsense.
Good for the women of this group for recognizing that there migh be a market, however slim, for these anachronistic fashions. Just don’t try to make us believe that we’re all clamoring for them. That’s what you’d call brainwashing.

Hey, it sure beats a burka!
True enough!
If they market a line that is half-way between the polygamist and the Bratz look, I will purchase the entire collection for my daughters. It is very difficult to find clothes today that are not modeled after Britney and C Electra!
Whatever happened to “age-appropriate” clothing? Hell, even the newest Barbie looks all ready to do a pole dance!
