Reminds me of the early days of online shopping when I made a very naive guess at the URL for Dicks Sporting Goods.<BR/><BR/>We have had some luck shopping on ebay. There are some folks who specialize in selling modest cloths, including swim suits.<BR/><BR/>(FYI: haven't commented before, but been reading your blog for a while. It's very enjoyable, and always makes me look forward to doing some of my own homesteading when we get a house).benedictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849318955059683538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220057250271426855.post-10304564349586823852008-06-21T08:23:00.000-04:002008-06-21T08:23:00.000-04:00I would try the Vermont Country Storehttp://www.ve...I would try the Vermont Country Store<BR/><BR/>http://www.vermontcountrystore.com<BR/><BR/>as one possible start - more the new england look than the midwestern look, but the kind of practical place where you wouldn't be embarrassed by anything in the store.Edward Vielmettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421049499752624699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220057250271426855.post-13437838275791109572008-06-20T20:52:00.000-04:002008-06-20T20:52:00.000-04:00What a story.

As you know she just gave up and started making clothes at home. Now my oldest daughter makes her own clothes too. Our youngest daughter wears "bloomers" under her dress or skirt. Bloomers are basically just long shorts or boys swimming trunks. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the fight. It doesn't hurt to register a complaint with the store managers now and then. Maybe they'll get the messsage someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
