Hi!

Can anyone help out with links to shabbos clothes for a high school girl for this winter season.

We shopped all over Boro Park and Flatbush and came home with nothing. Everything is a summery fabric, too matronly or looks like a robe.

My daughter is thin BH and usually finds things she likes.

She doesn't want to match younger kids or her teachers, which I totally understand, but then there isn't much left!

Help!

Long dresses that look like robes are the current style. I’d tell her to just embrace it.

Did you check out pastel? Thick wintery fabrics, not a robe, and not matronly.

Fame in the five towns has a huge huge selection and really good salespeople too

Thanks! This will definitely be my approach tomorrow, at least for one outfit!

I did look online and didn't see much, just a few nice solid tops/skirts. Do they have dresses in the store?

We were going to drive out there today, but I heard it was packed, so we didn't go. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks!

Yes, but she needs a dress below her knees and to cover her collar bone and not too fitted.
She's 5'5 - 5'6.
Looks great in waisted and aline.

Hits below the knee, check her other dresses if they are also 42 inches long from the seam on the shoulder blade.

My daughter got this. She wears it with a turtleneck you can also try it with a cropped sweater.
