Girls club outfit advise

[Samanthasmom]

I want to order these today since they are on sale but I need to find out how they run? I tried a search and didnt see anything. My daughter is really thin so I dont want the waist to be huge. She is normally a 8/10 slim. Does anyone know if the white club shorts run true to size and if they shrink? Also the red club shirt how does that run/ shrink? thanks in advance [img]smile.gif[/img]

I didn't buy the club shorts outfit, but I did buy the club outfit with the purple skirt. The waistline is big and I will probably have to take it in for my slim daughter. It didn't really shrink, either. I have found the the AG tops run true to size for my DD, but the waistlines have been big in everything I purchased. DD normally wears a 10/12 or a medium. She is 11 years old. I just bought the white beach capris and I had to buy her a small or size 8 and I bought the top in a medium. Luckily, I was at the outlet and she could try the clothes on. The beach capris were even a bit big in the waist. I also found the waist big in the green skirt from the old meet outfit and the pink skirt from the Petal Pink outfit. Hope this helps a little even though it doesn't really answer your question. For my DD, I like the pants that have that interior adjustable waistband with the buttons. It leaves room for growth but in the mean time, the pants don't droop down.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">We got the set over a year ago and my daughter has worn it all year round. It still has not shrunk in size and we put it in the dryer to dry. My daughter is very thin as well and she usually wears an 8-10. A lot of the AG clothing is off on the size, but this set was right on the mark. I would caution, though, that the shorts are "short" in length normally.

New: MB&F HM8 Mark 2






MB&F has opened a new chapter in their automotive styling saga with the second generation of their popular HM8, called the Mark 2. They have introduced the 2025 edition, a new launch that is now available in purple. MB&F HM8 Mark 2 Purple


The original HM8 was released in 2016. In 2023, they updated the design to make it even more automotive-friendly with the Mark 2. The Mark 2 features purple body panels. Previously, the two first models had white or green body panels, while the 2024 Limited Edition came in sapphire blue. The latest 2025 Limited Edition also comes in this gorgeous purple color. It is beautifully set off by the white strap and the grey titanium elements of the case. It is not understated, but interestingly, despite being a bright purple, it does not stand out too much.


MB&F's relationship with cars is long-standing, beginning with HM5 in 2012, followed by HMX in 2015 and HM8 in 2016. Each iteration is linked to an instantly recognisable tachymeter-style display on the side of the case, recalling the bold and futuristic designs of the 1970s.


Ten years after the launch of the first car-inspired MB&F Machines, MB&F unveiled the supercar-inspired HM8 Mark 2 in 2023.


Following the successful launch of two versions in 2023 (with white or green body panels, HM8 Mark 2 returns in 2024 as a limited edition with a glossy sapphire blue body.high quality watches replica


In 2025, MB&F unveils a new limited edition of 33 pieces, with a stunning purple case that pays homage to luxury car paint both technically and aesthetically through metallic pigments and translucent materials on the body panels.


The Original Dream


To fully understand MB&F's relationship with the world of cars, we need to go back to 1985. As children, we all have dreams, some of which eventually come true, some of which fall by the wayside, and some of which become so ingrained in our lives that we finally achieve them, no matter what. This was the case with MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser, who spent much of his childhood dreaming of becoming a car designer. From the age of 4 to 18, he was obsessed with cars, to the point where they were the only thing he could draw. Even as his classmates began to develop interests in other fields, his heart remained true to the aerodynamic lines and flowing shapes of cars.


Playing with Prisms


He was inspired by a crazy design from Amida called the Amida Digitrend, a watch released in 1976 when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. MB&F uses a similar philosophy, using sapphire prisms to enable the jumping hours and sweeping minutes to be displayed vertically, even though they are actually flattened like a pancake on top of the movement. The time display window resembles an old-fashioned speedometer on the front of the case, making it easy to read even while driving. Unlike the Amida, which has discs side by side, the MB&F HM design features one disc stacked on top of another, maximizing the size of the numbers for improved legibility.


The creativity went beyond that, with the goal of making the numbers look almost digital or electronic. To do this, a sapphire disc coated with black metal was used to make the numbers clearly visible. Super-LumiNova® was then added under the sapphire disc, making the luminous effect completely flat, rather than spherical as on the dial. It is worth noting that the numbers had to be turned front to back because they would be reversed in a prism.


This system was realized on the HM5, with opening and closing slats that allow light to enter the movement, thus stimulating the luminous effect. The design of these slats was inspired by the rear window shutters designed by Marcello Gandini for the Bertone Lamborghini Miura, giving the car a futuristic aesthetic.


In the subsequent model, the HMX, these slats were removed and replaced by a sapphire crystal cover that partially revealed the engine underneath. This watch was inspired by another Italian coachbuilder, the Touring Superleggera, and featured a micro oil cap that could be unscrewed and filled with watchmaking oil.


The HM8 'Can-Am' watch followed, with a sapphire crystal that allowed a clear view of the rotating rotor. This movement, based on a Girard-Perregaux movement, also laid the foundation for the new HM8 Mark 2. The HM8 was inspired by the Can-Am cars in the famous Canadian-American Racing Championship (hence the name). The unique design of these cars and their distinctive roll cages inspired the two titanium roll cages of this watch. replica Tudor Black Bay


The HM8 Mark 2, on the other hand, has a unique 'double bubble' sapphire crystal, which is inspired by some of the most iconic supercars.


Chassis structure


The design of these watches is not only inspired by the automotive world, but also by their construction. Maximilian's engineering prowess paid off after all! While HM5 and HM8 Mark 2 feature a separate waterproof chassis onto which the watch case is attached, HMX and HM8 are of one-piece construction.


Initially available in either white or British Racing Green CarbonMacrolon®, the HM8 Mark 2's bodywork is matte on top and highly polished on the sides. The white version features a green CVD tourbillon and light green minute indexes, while the British Racing Green version features a red gold tourbillon and balance wheel and turquoise minute indexes and is limited to 33 pieces.


After the first of these editions in 2023, MB&F decided to pay homage to the automotive world with a blue version, followed in 2025 by a purple version, both limited to 33 pieces.


The deep, radiant blue and purple of HM8 Mark 2 are derived from mineral metallic pigments, the same pigments found in automotive metallic paints. These pigments are in powder form and need to be incorporated into the resin according to a specific process (mixing time, mixing temperature, mixing speed and duration, etc.).


This replica luxury watches is back with a beautiful and unique case panel, with a color combination that will excite watch lovers and car enthusiasts alike. It is also paired with a sporty and comfortable rubber strap.


Carbon Macrolon®


Developed exclusively for MB&F, CarbonMacrolon® is a composite material consisting of a polymer matrix infused with carbon nanotubes, which enhance strength and stiffness. Carbon nanotubes have superior tensile strength and stiffness than traditional carbon fiber reinforcements. MB&F's CarbonMacrolon® is a hard, solid material that can be colored, polished, sandblasted, painted, satin-finished...


On top of all these properties, it weighs eight times less than steel, making it extremely versatile and interesting from a technical and design point of view.


Under the hood


As with any supercar or hypercar, much of the technology inside the HM8 Mark 2 is not immediately apparent, starting with the titanium chassis, which has been milled with great complexity. Even in stainless steel, the manufacturing process is extremely complex, and the hardness of this alloy really puts MB&F's technicians to the test.


The same is true of the CarbonMacrolon® body panels, which can only be milled from a single block due to the small production volume, adding another layer of complexity to the body structure of the watch.replica Greubel Forsey GMT


MB&F has always pushed the physical limits of sapphire crystal production, and HM8 Mark 2 is no exception. The production process of this double-curved sapphire crystal is extremely complex, and costs 30 to 40 times more than domed sapphire crystal. Only one supplier was willing to take on the challenge. During the long production period required to produce each sapphire crystal, the risk of breakage is extremely high - and it always breaks at the last minute, which makes everyone involved feel extremely desperate. However, once it is safely completed and installed in the watch, it is as strong and durable as any sapphire crystal on a sports watch.


Last but not least, the battle-axe rotor that drives the movement is extremely complex to produce, as one of the 22K gold blades is only 0.2 mm thick. It can't be machined, so it has to be stamped, and the engraving is already integrated into the seal.


A world-first crown


Not hidden under the case, but a new crown that's equally hidden, it features something like a “double-clutch” system (that's automotive jargon). It works by pushing the crown in, then turning it three-quarters of a turn to release it. The benefit is that it saves space and makes the system more secure, which is a big plus for a sports watch.


HM8 Mark 2 takes what MB&F enthusiasts have loved about this automotive watch for over a decade and makes it more high-tech, more legible, sexier and easier to wear. More importantly, it reminds us that it's never too late to chase your dreams, no matter where you are in life.replica Bell & Ross BR 05 watches
