" my advice is let her wear what she wants...especially if she is a tom boy. Because maybe eventually she will want to look like a girl on her own or she just may stay a tom boy. Hope that helps. "

" my suggestion would be to take her to the malls and give her a budget of what she can spend on new clothes and let her pick them out for herself. teenaged girls are very picky with what they wear. by doing this it should avoid any arguements and conflicts about the type of clothes you buy her. "

" the style of clothes that she wears i think should be completely up to her, though you have every right to have limits on how revealing, etc., it may be ... i agree with RSmith, let your daughter do the choosing (within your budget and "rules"), and you can't go wrong.
if you try to make her wear something she doesn't like, she may feel disrespected, and overlooked (my own daughter's father is not listening to her opinions on clothing, and she's feeling disregarded) "

" I would just let her wear the big t-shirts right now. One day she will out grow the tom boy thing when she gets older. I was like her and wore the t-shirts like my brother did and played with hotwheels and matchbox cars until I out grew them. I would just not worry until she is ready to be a girly girl and just make sure is is happy right now and let her choose what she wants to wear. "
