Have I packed too many clothes?

Going away on Tuesday to France until Sunday. I would love to know if I’ve overpacked as I have a tendency to, but the weather is unpredictable and forecast keeps changing. I’ve packed:

For me:

1 x pair of leggings
4 x t shirts
3x dresses
Will wear jeans and hoodie to airport so will have those too

DD (8):

1x princess dress (going to Disney)
2x leggings
1x skirt
1x shorts
5 x tops
1x hoodie
1x dungaree dress
Will wear jeans and hoodie to airport too

DS (6):
6x t shirts
1x jeans
1x joggers
1x jumper
1x shorts
1x trousers
Will wear jeans and hoodie to airport too

And all have underwear/socks for length of trip. DD particularly is a one wear child, she always manages to get stuff on her clothes! DH is selecting his own stuff but we’re all sharing 1x suitcase so I don’t want to take more than necessary. What do you think? I really don’t want to have to buy clothes there.

I think it all sounds fine, choices but should all get worn. My youngest was and remains a wear once child, just incapable of not making a mess even as a teen.
France in April is always going to be a bit of a gamble and you’ve packed to cover all bases.
