I read the "form fitting on the wrong form can be nasty" comment and I never thought she was talking about little girls.

But that is what the thread is about, so what else would they be talking about

What is wrong with you? The comment speaks for itself.

The OP said SHE thinks jeggings are nasty, the conversation "evolved," with "older women" coming in at post #6.

I made a general statement that did not refer to children. Move on.

Back to the original topic of jeggings for kids, I learned something today. Kids jeggings, the denim kind, are nearly impossible to hem on a sewing machine because the pants leg won't fit over the arm of the machine. So if you usually buy pants for your daughter knowing you will have to shorten them, jeggings may not be the best choice.

Or you can get a sewing machine with a removable piece that allows for narrower things!

This was with the piece removed already I could barely even get my hand through these pants to turn them right side out when I was done. I asked my kiddo if they're even going to be comfortable, and she said, "Of course they are, they're Justice brand!"

Well you were the only one talking about older women then... so I guess others were just supposed to follow along with your random thoughts...

Sorry for thinking that callings someone nasty because of their body is uncalled for.

I went to school in the 1940s, and there was a certain psychic value then for kids to wear what other kids were wearing. I imagine there still is. It's not Lee overalls with the cuffs rolled up and plaid shirts anymore, but whatever it is, is what it is.

This trend cracks me up. I wore them in the 90's but they weren't called jeggings. They were called "mom pants" because they had an elastic waist instead of a zipper/button. JC Penny sold them, stretch denim that fit like leggings. Straight or bootcut. I wore long shirts and tunics to cover my backside and tummy.

My daughter wore bike shorts and tees when she was young, and jeggings now that she's in her mid 20's. There were bell bottoms somewhere in between. Whatever.

I like them with boots. I see no issue with kids wearing them, but again it depends on the rest of the outfit.
