Bra for 2 yr olds in J Lewis

JL obviously don't understand and need a boycott of their shops.

All of my GC wear vests in winter even the two who live in Qld.

Mumsnet had a go? Good on 'em.

I clicked the link. The 'bras' are sized 28A - 34A so obviously not for 2 year olds. It would seem there has been some misunderstanding.

Youngest age I could see was 7. Don't think they need a bra either. Have JL quickly changed the page ?

Yes, ginny. Yesterday the link gave ages from 2 to 5 and the product information referred to bras, not crop tops. As I said.

When I started the thread ginny the link was bras for 2-5yr old.

I suspect, due to many complaints, JL have rethought this one but I think bras for 7yr olds is ridiculous too.

Our 5 year old has a 28" chest but I would still prefer her to have a vest on to keep her back warm.

I can't see a reference to any age at all on the link. Just the sizes 28aa etc. When I was 14 I was a 28aa. I didn't need a bra of any kind but would have welcomed something like this, which would have been better than wearing a little childs vest.

They've changed it gilly yesterday it was bras for 2-year olds!

Pictures of bras not crop tops.

Just noticed the heading above the illustration still says 'John Lewis Girl Vintage Floral Bra, Pack of 2, Multi'

It was most definitely on the JL website, gillybob. Bras for 2-5 year olds, described as 'bras', not crop tops, looked like soft cotton shaped bras.

They must have been inundated with messages and have responded.

I have just received a reply:

Disappointed?

At least they have responded and taken them off sale. But have they removed them from the stores as well?

Just looked on the JL website and they are still there, listed under crop tops but named as 'bras'.

They've just changed the size options from age to chest measurement.

They are now sized from 28AA to 32A which would not fit 2-5 year olds anyway.

Update:

Not just us then

According to the Daily Mail article the 'bras' only measure 20 inches which would be smaller than a 2 year old. Absolutely bonkers! Should we not be criticising the mothers who buy these garments too?

Good to know that roseq.

Hopefully other stores/manufacturers pay heed to the outcry against inappropriate clothing for children and realise their product may just result in bad publicity.

Indeed- we can but hope.

These 'bras' are still on JL's website, and still for sale. So all that's happened is they've changed the sizing - which if the smallest only measures 20" is wrong anyway!

They still don't get it then.

Faye I had to go out and buy myself a vest when I was in N Queensland!
