Sharon Choksi, founder Girls Will Be,
decided to do something about the lack of options for girls. She said
the inspiration for her new line of clothing, came from her daughter and
niece, Maya and Grace, who wanted to wear clothing that wasn’t frilly,
“nothing with bows” and absolutely “NO sparkles.” They were interested
in “climbing trees, building LEGO creations, and playing with cars and
trucks,” Choksi said.

from the above article:
She collected boys and girls clothes from 10 of the biggest retailers that were all meant for kids of around the same size and age and measured them. What she found was that the girls’ shirts were one to three inches thinner. The sleeves were shorter. And the girls’ shorts were barely a third of the length.
I know this was true when I was a kid, but it’s gotten a lot worse since then.
HOLY SHIT YES. I’ve had SO many conversations about dress codes and stuff where people complain about how “skimpy” the clothes tween girls wear are, and I have to explain to them that those are their only options. There literally aren’t pants a tween/early teen girl can buy anywhere between capris and a 3-inch inseam. Shit, I’m 32 and wear a size 22/24 pants and I have trouble finding shorts that cover over half my thigh!
“Palessi” sold about $3,000 worth of shoes within a
few hours and, after the shoppers paid, staffers told them that the
shoes were actually from Payless, according to AdWeek, which reported on the event Wednesday. “They are elegant (and) sophisticated,” one shopper described her purchase as, in a Payless video posted on YouTube.
Then,
the woman, who Payless says is a real person not an actor, was told the
shoes actually were the handiwork of Payless. “You’ve got to be kidding
me,” she said.
Another shopper, this one a man, said about his purchase, “I could tell it’s made with high quality material.”
Payless refunded the shoppers their purchase prices
and plans to use the video testimonials, already available on YouTube,
as commercials on social media and TV.
😂😂They did the same thing with cheap wine with a bunch of snobby wine connoisseurs & somebody else gave chopped up McDonald’s to a bunch of acclaimed foods critics
It’s been made obvious that people aren’t necessarily as high branded as they pretend to be & are all label whores using pretentiousness as a crutch.
