This on line store provides measurements of the garment of the finished . I use these measurements whenI am shopping without someone. Little Miss currently needs shirts 24 inch long for example.

I wish more on line stores provided this information it would make online shopping so much easier.

Click on this link and the measurements on the product to see what Iam talking about
Girls Soft Aqua Marl Everyday T Shirt Boden USA Online Clothes Shop & Mail Order Clothing Catalogue.

Also if anyone knows where longer shirts are sold/what brands (so no mid lines end up shopping when raising hands to answer questions in school) please tell me. I am frustrated shopping for shirts of Little Miss, more than half my of the height is in my torso girl.

My youngest two are very thin and have long legs, so we sometimes use smaller sized dresses as shirts. Sometimes it doesn't work, depending on the design. Sometimes they look super cute, especially with capris.

justice sells cami's that are longer and could be tucked into pants or not and worn under other shirts ( and is considered fashionable to layer that way ) so no skin would show .

in fact alot of shirts are made wider at neck and shorter purposely this year with expectation a cami is going under it

maybe look at xs or s in juniors misses or womans sizes

So I was checking out Justice need help with some definitions and a few question

What is a core tee?

What is the difference between crop top and shrunken tee?

Could little miss where a cami or long tank top under a to short shirt from her drawer and be stylish or would that be weird?

We did that a lot when she was little. One lands end dress started out a a dress at 3 years old and stayed as a staple in her closet/drawer for five years it ended it's life as a shirt it definitely evolved over the years

Now that she is big " one year until middle school ". She is a bit pick about what she wears. Tweens no longer little girl but not yet a teenager.

In just looking at the website, it looks like their 'core tee' is just a basic t-shirt.

Not sure the difference between a crop top and a shrunken tee. To me it seems like a shrunken tee would be a bit more form fitting and a crop top would be a bit more flowing. Both shorter than normal lenths thought.

crop tops are usually loser and shorter they end right at the waist or above to show belly or cami under it .

core tee is probably just a basic tee

she may be able to get camis cheaper even at kohls website
depends on what her reg size is

i would not rule out looking at misses or juniors at walmart target etc

layering over cami's is what all my daughters 14 yo friends do
and

delia s is a popular store in our area for juniors and you can see how they layer here

Thank you, thank you for this tip!

I bought two tank tops at Justice yesterday.

They did a wonderful job of being long enough and being an underlayer. We played around with some shirts of LIttle Miss's that we had deemed outgrown because they were to short. ( they still fit, they were just to short) With a tank top underlayer they work and look so cute/cool.

Today Little Miss wore an outgrown henley shirt ( you know the t shirts that have buttons part way down) layered a purple tank under it. Looks like a whole new shirt.

Love it!!

We also were able to salvage from the outgrown pile some long sleeve shirts that look cute/cool with a layer under it.

I'm very excited for the next bag of hand me downs as even if some shirts are to short thy might be perfect wit an underlayer tank.

Oh the possibilities have me so excited.

Little Miss and I are grateful for your suggestion.
