Sharon Choksi, founder Girls Will Be,
decided to do something about the lack of options for girls. She said
the inspiration for her new line of clothing, came from her daughter and
niece, Maya and Grace, who wanted to wear clothing that wasn’t frilly,
“nothing with bows” and absolutely “NO sparkles.” They were interested
in “climbing trees, building LEGO creations, and playing with cars and
trucks,” Choksi said.

from the above article:
She collected boys and girls clothes from 10 of the biggest retailers that were all meant for kids of around the same size and age and measured them. What she found was that the girls’ shirts were one to three inches thinner. The sleeves were shorter. And the girls’ shorts were barely a third of the length.
I know this was true when I was a kid, but it’s gotten a lot worse since then.
