French company Jours Apres Lunes has designed a line of "loungerie" -- a compromise between loungewear and lingerie -- for children between the ages of 4 and 12.

The company's stance:
Quote:
There is no vulgar connotation...The materials are totally opaque, there is no transparency, no lace. The triangles -- there are only two in the collection -- are used in swimwear for the smallest children and as a first support for young girls, even by young women who are not looking for proper support since the tops I design do not offer any. There is no bra in my collection.
The children are not wearing heels, nor nail polish, nor lipstick...Their hairstyles are exaggerated, just as are games and the child's universe. These models are professional models and not 'Lolitas' who have stolen women's clothing.

What's disturbing about Jours Après Lunes is not just the fact that it's lingerie for people who probably shouldn't be old enough to even know what lingerie is, but the photographs on their website.

My daughter is 5 1/2. I think she'd love this stuff, but I wouldn't buy it for her. She'd love to eat candy all day and I'm not about to let that happen, either. I'm not in a flap about this, but it does seem a little
off to me.
