Re: Vajazzling
It does say that they are not designed for bikini area use though. Obviously that would just be plane wrong.
Personally I hate the fake tattoo and body jewelry on kids (and adults) and I hate it when you see a young girl with pierced ears (let alone on babies).
My 5 year old goddaughter loves anything sparkly and as much as her dad insisted on a no make up policy she ended up going to a birthday party where they had a make up artist painting their nails etc- he went ballistic but kids are exposed to these thing so much earlier how do you stop a 5 year old girl from wanting to be a princess? So I am now approved make up artist as I buy her shimmer stuff that actually you can hardly see rather than full on slap and pale pink polish is allowed as long as its only for dress up and comes straight off! She also had a boyfriend which her dad is horrifeid by- thank god they only hold hands and the odd brave kiss on the cheek- he recently dumped her for someone else and she told me she was going to wait for a boyfriend that really loved her like prince charming and cinderella awww!
Its the same as when asda and Tescos started thongs and push up bras in kids sizes. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...kits-kids.html Why people want to make their kids grow up any faster than they already do is beyond me. My mum made me wear a bra at the age of 10, 30AA mind- but I hated it- as noone else at school wore one- so I used to take it off as soon as I got into school. Having said that girls are developing much younger than previous generations so wearing a bra may be required preteens, however a nice cotton fun and sweet product is much more approriate. Maybe there isroom to carry the young product on into larger sizes as girls age 10 and 11 need larger sizes.. oo I smell an opportunity!
Its alla bit bit fat gypsy weddingesque for me. where has all the style gone? I blame Heat magazine!

Re: Vajazzling
Im sure there is a market- the problem is the supermarkets do have the monopoly on that market and Liberties are expensive- how many kids shop for undies there? not many- I've done bespoke parties for rich kids (catwalk shows where the kids get to keep the clothes) and the kids love primark, h&m and topshop as much as anyone else-disposable fashion, I want it and I want it now type thing- are kids going to appreciate spending more on lingerie when their bust size is changing so much- I would say its a price driven market- kids want young fashionable and cheap product-and newness- product they can afford regularly. I think your price points would want to be 12 quid for 2 type of price points. And with the price of cotton at the moment that is hard to achieve.
I have seen so many top end brands fail as they don't make any money- the money is in volume sales and that means competeive prices. You aim top end you are pretty much doomed to fail I am afraid, unless you have a fantasitic USP or an established brand name behind you or fantastic marketing. But good luck to them!
