When shopping for sartorial essentials for the minis in your household there are a few things you'll want to consider.
First up has to be comfort, and this is particularly important when dressing children with precious and sensitive skin, and are less likely to be wooed by fashion appeal. Look out for sustainable fabrics, such as organic cotton which is kind to both the skin and planet.
