...different choice. When an eight- or nine-year-old girl picks an outfit that is just too outrageous for public consumption, a parent should acknowledge her decision ("Boy, I can tell you think that's really great!") and help her find a compromise ("...but let's just get the skirt today because I'm not so sure that top is good for a kid your age"). A young adolescent should start to learn about the signals she sends through her appearance, but we parents should also affirm her growing desire to make decisions for herself, and know that with...

A bias-cut wool jersey skirt of pinkish cranberry ($80) or purple microfiber pants ($120) makes an office-appropriate match with a classic white cotton shirt ($90). The designer pays special attention to fit and will make alterations in a pattern immediately if she sees it's not working on her customers. "If it doesn't fit, it doesn't sell," she remarks. Bishop's creations are stocked in sizes ranging from a petite 2 to a voluptuous 16 and can be made in larger sizes to order...
