Now that my children are getting bigger, they are heading into the dreaded tween stage. Is it really that horrible? Probably not, but finding clothes for them is getting harder and harder. There aren’t that many places to find good quality, comfortable, clothes for tween girls, especially in Atlantic Canada. My girls have grown out of most of the kids stores, and the adult stores are either inappropriate, or boring! I was dreading back to school shopping, until I heard about Triple Flip from Calgary, Alberta.
The original Triple Flip girls, Linda Maslechko and Mona Rae Peterson, along with their daughters and friends started Triple Flip for just those reasons I mentioned above. “There simply were not enough choices or great places for girls to shop. There needed to be a place to find clothes that actually fit. Clothes that came in fun colors and looked fabulous. Clothes that were so incredibly comfortable that you could dance in them, run in them, sleep in them, or flip in them.” I think these ladies have exceeded their goal. The clothes at Triple Flip are colourful, fun, fit wonderfully and are excellent quality.
My youngest daughter rarely slows down. She loves running, jumping and playing. The first thing she said to me when she tried on her new outfit was “this is soooo comfortable!” The Sprint Capri leggings are really thick so I know they will last a long time and keep her warm in cooler weather and they come in amazing colours. The material in the Agility Tank top is so unbelievably comfortable I want one for myself!. And like the pants, the material in the top is also think and strong, but stretchy and flexible. The quality is outstanding. The Nicola Skirt is so pretty. My daughter doesn’t normally like to dress up, but wearing the skirt over the leggings makes her feel completely comfortable. In fact, my daughter has not been this confident in an outfit, in a long time.
Triple Flip clothes are made to fit girls from about the ages of 6-16. Take a look at their unique sizing chart:

Flipwear is designed in Calgary and their stretch wear is exclusively manufactured in Canada. How fantastic is that! They also have their own blog on their website, design Triple Flip Team wear for sports teams and give back to the communities that support them. This company is amazing! They really care about the girls they are designing the clothes for and you can tell when you read the comments shoppers have made after shopping in the stores.
You can find Triple Flip stores in British Colombia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. I really hope they come to Halifax soon, but for now I am happy ordering Triple Flip clothes online. They offer free Canada Post Regular Ground shipping anywhere in Canada! Keep in mind that Triple Flip is a relatively small company and they do not keep large quantities in their warehouse. When you order online they often have to source the items from stores before they are shipped to you. So it can take a few days to get your order together before it ships. I ordered another outfit from Triple Flip for my older daughter and it arrived within 10 days of ordering it. (including weekend days)

Ahhh! So lovely. You can have so much fun in clothes like these and look good too.
