Any other shorties who shop in the children's section?

I'm not short (5 ft 6) but shop in kids sections. I've noticed the kids sections today are very different to what I wore as a kid. As an example I have a blue velvet crop top that is meant for a 10 year old....when I was 10 my mum would not have let me out the door wearing anything like that! Most things I owned then were pink with lots of sequins and glitter like you'd expect a 10 year old to wear!

The only trouble I've found with them is the shape, I can never get adult clothes to fit my waist. Childrens clothes will fit my waist but as they're made for more up-and-down figures and I'm an hourglass they don't fit my hips

I once bought childrens hiking boots, their largest size.

I just leveraged this strategy for the first time the other day - I peeked in the kids clearance section at Dicks Sporting Goods and saw a pair of pants that looked like they could fit. Low and behold I can wear UA size large girls pants - got ‘em for $9! Cheapest I’ve ever paid for pants at DSG, including their Black Friday sales.

Thanks for the tip!

I also wear kiddie stuff. Some things are too big, even !!!

I can fit into Gap Kids XXL and was even able to wear an XL girl's skirt. I found a Boston Bruins jersey that was on clearance for $20 (reg. $100). It had a minor defect and I was going to sell it, but tried it on, fit perfect and was a Youth size XL

I just got a boys puma sweatshirt for $6.97!
