Blazer size and jumper size

Hi,
DD starting secondary school in September. I know it's a long way off but just planning ahead as spreading out the cost for new uniform. She is 25" around the chest, so was thinking about getting the 28" size blazer. Then it occurred to me that she would be wearing a jumper underneath in the winter. Do I buy the same size for both garments or go up a size for the blazer. Thinking it might be tight with a jumper on.

Any advice on buying secondary uniform! :)

Agree.
Put the money aside, if you buy now she might have a spurt in the next 6 months.
When you do buy, get the biggest size you can without it looking daft. Many y7s have blazers that are 'roomy' on them.

Don't buy the jumper. I know of very few secondary kids that wear one and a blazer. And rather than spread the cost by buying things early, put the money aside each month and buy in the summer. Look out for deals for staple non school specific branded items such as skirts and blouses. M&S has done a 20% off school wear in July, buy slightly big and you cant go wrong as ive always found their shirts/blouses staywhite and last.
