You show 'em, girls

You show 'em, girls
Through most of elementary school, my mother dressed me in dresses. When I complained that I couldn't hang upside down on the playground for fear of showing my underwear, she was unsympathetic. That was before Francie Pants, of course.

These soft, comfortable "privacy shorts" are perfect for concealing underwear, freeing girls to climb trees and turn cartwheels, even in dresses.  The prints are snazzy and even a little edgy--I especially like the fun plaid and the Paris prints.

Come to think of it, there's a punky London print too. Which, if you remember the old rhyme, is awesome. -Julie
