* There would be NO cartoon characters or other overt advertising on anything.
*Beading and glitter and other doo-dads would be few and far between.
*Only the rarest of wording would make it onto clothing. NO words on butts. Ever.
*Everything would be wrinkle free. everything - Please for the love especially girls dresses. I hate ironing, I really, really hate ironing little itty bitty dresses - with bows to boot.
*All tops would match all bottoms. Everything would be interchangeable!
*Pants and shorts would be gender neutral so hand me downs for either gender would be a-ok. Little girl jeans do NOT need to always include bedazzling or a bow.
*Shorts would be a little bit longer. Its hard to find kid shorts that are actually finger tip length (especially for girls).
*Sizing would be at least somewhat uniform. How come my kids can wear anything in a size range of 2 or 3 sizes up or down of their actual size?
*There would be magical socks that fit EVERYONE in the family and hence no more matching socks, just grab two, any two.
*Shoes: classy sandals with dirt colored soles to avoid the dirty toe prints that show up second week of summer. Sturdy church shoes - why do church shoes seem to disintegrate rapidly? Tennis shoes without glitter for girls or camo for boys.
*Bathing suits will no longer pill on the butt even if they drag their behinds across concrete for hours.
And that my folks is the dream wish list for clothing of a mother of five.
** my kids clothing breaks every one of these rules.
