Ooh I seriously might try the M&S ones, thats great to know Petals, and at that price its not worth the effort of making, and if I don't get away with them I won't be gutted at all the wasted effort! Though I have other boys who would just wear them anyway for preschool/home if they aren't right. Wonder if they still have the free shipping. Otherwise I might get up to Papanui after Christmas and get to Fabric Vision.
Nicky, the girls culottes will be that price too and they are not something I will be able to make as the fabric isn't plain. And worse still I'll be paying all that for an item that really just won't suit my daughter, such a shame there won't be a dress any more (though I see the practicality of culottes, they just don't suit some shapes).
We need black running type shoes too, not a big deal for us as he needs new shoes anyway for next term, and thankfully the teacher warned us when we started that the uniform would change so it was fine to just go generic colours for the first terms, I only bought one new monogrammed fleece and the rest has been plain stuff or second hand. People who started the term before us weren't warned so I'm so glad we were, as I"d have gone all out and bought loads thinking I would be able to hand it on to my younger ones.
You know who I am! Mum to DS1(7), DS2(6), DD(6), DS3(5).
