How do you like to dress your child? Do you want him or her to look like a miniature adult or to be a child as long as possible? From my own observations there does seem to be a need in some people to dress children like mini adults which I feel is a pity. I would argue that these years are very precious & from my own experience as a mother I can tell you they pass all too quickly. I would be really interested to hear your viewpoint on this question. One thing which I’m sure we will agree upon is that children’s clothes need to be versatile & give value for money.

There are some great clothes available now in organic cotton which is soft & cosy for your child because the cotton fibres are intact & not broken by the chemicals & machines used in conventional cotton farming & production of textiles. An important point to consider is that organic cotton is less likely to trigger allergies because there’re no harmful chemicals used either in growing the cotton or in finishing the material. Organic cotton has maximum breathability because it doesn’t contain anti shrink resins. But do not worry all clothes sold on the website are sized to allow for shrinkage, but having said that it is not a good idea to ‘cook’ them in the tumble dryer but they’re fine dried on a low heat. As ever I would recommend using an environmentally friendly washing powder like Ecover which has the additional benefit of being kinder to tender baby skin, but perhaps that is just me on my hobby horse! Even though colours & patterns are funky they’re produced without toxic dyes & fasteners are nickel free. And so… So again less likelihood of allergic reactions.

Clever designs which are produced with thought & care can make a lot of difference to your child’s comfort & that is really important for little ones. There is more. They can not tell you when the material is harsh & rubbing or waistbands are constricting & pinching. But all this care & attention to detail doesn’t mean that clothes need be boring & unattractive. Visit us at Sonesuk to see some of the lovely outfits we have on sale from dungarees to tee shirts. There is more. The new autumn range which will be arriving soon has even more clothes which are reversible; so not just have you two different tops in one garment, but on those occasions that seem to happen all too often with kids when you leave home with a clean top & arrive to find there has been an accident with an ice-cream or similar, no problem just turn it inside out. (This used to happen to me all too often on the way to the baby clinic!) Another clever idea is rollups on trousers & dungarees with contrasting patterns which can change the whole look. You might say more looks for less money… As the clothes are made with best quality organic cotton they will wear well & pass down to little brothers & sisters. So… So style for little ones is achieved without sacrificing that all important comfort factor & moreover they look like the small children they are.
