A mother has been criticized for labeling a basic gray knit from Kmart Australia as “too revealing” for her daughter.
Whitney, from Sydney, said she would never allow her daughter to wear the “immodest” $18 top as she shared her disapproval on a popular Facebook group.
“Okay, I’m literally never one to complain, but when did Kmart start selling such revealing clothing?” she wrote.
‘I don’t want my daughter to go around wearing this and showing off her figure to the whole world. Who’s with me?’
The reviews left other buyers confused, as the short-sleeved elbow-length top was deemed perfect for all ages.

Whitney would never allow her daughter to wear the ‘immodest’ top and shared her disapproval in a popular Facebook group.
However, the reviews only left others confused, as the true knit elbow short sleeve top in question is anything but revealing.
Many encouraged Whitney to ignore products she considers inappropriate for her children.
The Kmart model wore a size 12 and the top is available in sizes six to 20. The fabric also appears in the adult section of the Kmart website, not the children’s section.
Other parents were quick to comment on the bizarre rant.
‘Am I missing something?’ one wrote. Another said: “I don’t know if this is satire or not.”
Many encouraged Whitney to turn a blind eye to products she believes are not appropriate for her children.
‘I feel like if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. I like the shirt. There’s nothing wrong with it,’ said one.
‘What’s wrong with the top? Lucky Kmart has a great selection of doona covers,” another joked.
One wrote: ‘Kmart has always sold things like this. If you don’t want your daughter to wear it, don’t buy it. Your house, your rules.
Damn! Here’s an idea! Do not buy it!’ one more added.
‘Welcome to the wide world of fashion and the tween and teen years. This would be called modest compared to some that sell,” wrote another.
Earlier this week, another mother was horrified by what she found in the $10 Kmart dollhouse bathroom set she bought for her daughter.
Simone Navybox, from Brisbane, purchased the six-piece wooden dollhouse bathroom set which includes shower, toilet, plunger, shower mat and sink.
But he was surprised when he noticed a small set of yellow flakes on the package.
“I probably won’t teach my little girl that she needs a scale in her Kmart bathroom,” he wrote in a now-viral TikTok. video.
Simone told FEMAIL that she wants to make sure she teaches her daughter positive body image habits from a young age, including removing the scales from a dollhouse she plays with.
