Since it is the fit that can make the fashion, solid construction is the first thing to consider. Look for T-shirts, sweatshirts and pants that pro vide a generous yet tailored fit. To ensure that your kids' apparel won't shrink after the first few washings, make sure that you purchase sweats which are made with 50/50 cotton and polyester. What's in a fabric? A lot more than meets the eye. The heavier the fabric, the longer the life of the product. When making a pur chase, compare product weights which generally provided on the garment ..............................izzy " apping. The lo : luxuri Colouring Their World With the wide array of colours now available for sweats and T-shirts, there is truly something for everyone, from the classics (navy, white, red) to the coolest new shades (armour blue, military green, stone). Make sure that the manufacturer's dye are tag. Also, look at the fuzzy lining of the tier the napping, the more luxurious the feel. garment, called nap formulas are identical for # matching purposes. When inspecting for colour consistency, lay out several garments in the same colour from the rack and compare the quality of the dye. If the colours are consistent from one item to another, you can be fairly cer tain that the dye is computer generated. This means you will be able to perfectly match a tee with shorts or a sweatshirt with sweatpants. Remember that safety comes first. In 1994, the Consumer Product Safety Commission placed a for mal request with clothing manufacturers to remove drawstrings from children's apparel to help prevent the risk of choking or stran gulation. Parents should look for garments that use snaps or velcro in place of draw strings. Be sure to check any hand-me- downs or second-hand articles your child might tie wearing. Always remove draw strings from pants and tops. Make sure your kids' clothes can keep up with their schedules. Now, when the weather cools down and the kids' activities heat up, these tips will make sure that you are getting the most quality and durability for your dollar.
