In the clip, she said: "We are at Matalan and I've come to check out if there's any good age appropriate clothing for my 10 year old step daughter who's in her preteen era." 

The mum found that the clothes didn't suit her daughters age - with outfits either looking far too young or way to grown up.

Looking around the section Samantha spotted lots of different crop tops which she wasn't impressed with.

On top of that, some of the tops even had cut out detailing on the chest which was also a big no-no.

As she continued to look around she saw lots of T-shirt and short sets but was left stunned by how the top had been cropped and the shorts were teeny tiny.

While it might be okay for an older teen, Samantha said it wasn't appropriate for her daughter's age.

"Absolutely not. No way," she continued.

Samantha did manage to find a couple of items she liked including a white sun dress and cycle shorts and T-shirt sets, but was clearly disappointed by the overall range.

"I have no words," she said.

"I hate to say it because this is genuinely one of my favourite shops to come for Jack, for a toddler boy but for the girls, this is getting like a 3 out of 10 from me."

The clip posted to her TikTok account @samanthaproudmama soon went viral with over 350k views and 11k likes.

People were quick to share their thoughts on the clothe sin the comments.

One person wrote: "Even as a woman it’s hard to find non cropped tops these days."

Another commented: "My daughter is only 6 but is so tall and wears age 10 nothing is appropriate it’s so stressful."

"My pet peeve is all the shops only doing crop tops for girls! Even for toddlers," penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: "I went into River Island the other day with my 1 year old daughter and was MORTIFIED with how many cropped tops were in store."

"Ewww I'm sorry but in what world should a little girl be walking about with a stroppy crop top saying "iconic" on it. What are Matalan on?!” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “This is my worry having a girl. She's only 3 at moment but we still find shops have crop tops for her age."
