My DD is just starting pre school and wanted to get her a few bits of uniform from M&S. My first time to all this, and was surprised to see that 80%+ of the range has chemical coatings to it - in the form of all the various ‘technologies’
StainResist/Freshfeet/NoIron etc. I think the other retailers are pretty much the same.
I think the PureCotton is probably alright, but you’ve got to read all the separate descriptions carefully to be clear you’re avoiding it.
Am sure nothings ever definitively proven, but SURELY just plain old cottons best?! They are progressing towards organic cotton, but doesn’t that defeat the point if it’s going to be sprayed with a chemical coating?
It will always seem that ‘it’s what people want’ but that’s just because they’re providing the option, and from the outside it seems a good idea if you don’t know.
For children having it against their skin for most of the week, for most of their childhood, it’s just not a great idea?!
(And if anyone knows where sells uniform that doesn’t, let me know 🙂)
