All our My Little Uniform dress-up costumes are made to be hardwearing and long lasting so that your little one can have hours of fun dressing up as their favourite character. To make sure your new uniform stays in top condition we recommend the following:
Washing and Drying
Each uniform can be machine washed and tumble dried. We recommend a wash temperature of as low as possible and a maximum of 40°C. Drying outdoors will prolong the life of your new costume but in the event that tumble drying is required we recommend a low temperature dry cycle.
Ironing
It may be unusual to iron a children’s costume but, our role-play uniforms are cotton and can be ironed on a medium heat, taking care to avoid areas of embroidery and reflective tape.

Dramatic play is an important part of early childhood. Through play, children learn to express themselves and their ideas, to negotiate with others, think creatively, and solve problems. Dramatic play introduces a whole new vocabulary and helps children understand the way the world works.

Delivered very quickly with a beautiful personal note. Don’t know yet how it will be received as it’s for Xmas for a little lady whose grandad is a mechanic but wears orange overalls for work… hopefully they’ll be twinning… ❤️ Added gift bag for her to carry it to and from grandads house!

Excellent quality. Arrived promptly. Our two year-old loves this uniform. He’s tall so we ordered size 3-4 years. The jacket fitted well on shoulders, was a bit long on sleeves. Trousers were very long so we took these up. We added a black cap and attached a recycling badge which completed the look!
