Practical Shopping Advice

Questions About Our Children's Range

Address common concerns when shopping for children’s clothing, such as sizing consistency, garment care, and matching outfits for siblings or events. These insights help navigate choices between everyday durability and special occasion elegance, ensuring you select pieces that fit your lifestyle.

How do I ensure the clothing fits my child properly, especially when buying online without trying it on?

Refer to our detailed size guides, which include measurements for height, chest, and waist. Laura Ashley clothing is designed with a standard fit, but we recommend checking individual product notes for any variations. If between sizes, consider the garment’s style—relaxed fits may allow room to grow, while tailored pieces might benefit from sizing up.

What are the best ways to care for these garments to maintain their print vibrancy and fabric quality over time?

Most items can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with like colours, using mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying to preserve prints and fabrics. For delicate items like occasion dresses, hand washing or using a mesh laundry bag is advised. Always check the care label for specific instructions to ensure longevity.

Can I mix and match pieces from different collections to create versatile outfits for various occasions?

Absolutely. Laura Ashley’s cohesive design aesthetic allows you to pair tops with skirts or trousers across collections. For example, a floral top can be matched with plain shorts for a casual look or a skirt for something dressier. This flexibility helps maximise your child’s wardrobe and adapt to different settings effortlessly.

Are the materials used suitable for children with sensitive skin or allergies?

We prioritise comfort by using soft, breathable fabrics like cotton and cotton blends in many designs, which are gentle on sensitive skin. However, as each child’s needs vary, we recommend reviewing the fabric composition on product pages. If your child has specific allergies, consulting the care label or contacting our customer service for further details may be helpful.

How do the sizes compare between younger and older girls' ranges, and what age groups do they cover?

Our younger girls’ range typically fits ages 3-8 years, with roomier cuts for ease of movement. The older girls’ range is for ages 9-16 years, offering more tailored silhouettes aligned with growing trends. Sizing charts provide exact measurements, and product titles often indicate the target age group to guide your selection.

What options are available for coordinating siblings' outfits or family events without being overly matchy-matchy?

We offer complementary prints and colour palettes across our children’s collections, allowing for subtle coordination. For instance, choose dresses with similar floral motifs but different styles for sisters, or pair a child’s outfit with adult items from our womenswear range for family occasions. This approach maintains individuality while creating a harmonious look.
