Where is the best place to buy school uniform?
My eldest starts school in September and I was wondering where the best place to buy school uniform is? It needs to be tumble dry-able (which would rule out Next, as none of their stuff seems to go in the dryer), well made and good value. I would often choose Marks & Spencer but are there better choices? Thanks.
