Clothing for Heavy Child

I really do not know where you could find what you're looking for, except maybe online. However, I would recommend something that I hope does not offend you. Please look at your daughter's diet, exercise level, etc. & make sure you are doing everything you can to help her be healthy. You have one issue in that you cannot find clothing to fit your daughter. Yet you have a bigger issue in that your 8 yr. old daughter is on the slippery slope to becoming a very overweight adult. Again, please don't take offense...

Hi C.,
I too was a bit overweight as a child so I can emphathize. You are a great momma for trying to find cool clothes for her. i am no longer an expert on the topic, but would you consider shopping in a teen section at a larger dept. store. If I remember correctly, dept stores have so many depts and so many sizes, you may have luck there.

I wish you luck.

My kids are still in the toddler section of Target, and I know they have adjustable elastic bands around the tummy in that section. Not sure if they do in the kid section though. I know JC Penny has a plus size section, but I am guessing the length might be an issue. I wish I could be more helpful! Are you a decent sewer? A hem is pretty easy to do.
