Hand me down school uniform

Hi all,
DD3 starts reception this year. She has DD1's book bag as DD1 is off to secondary. We normally keep passing down uniform to the younger child, but DD2 is very active and the jumpers, summer dresses and skirts have had to be washed a lot, and the jumpers are starting to become a more pale red. We have a debobbler but Im Not sure whether to get DD3 a newer set of uniform. The ones that DD1 and DD2 used still have a good amount of wear left, the red is just starting to fade off a bit.

Can you find a Dylon colour dye in a similar colour and bung them all into the machine?

Just get her a new set, particularly any generic items you can buy cheap from a supermarket. Q

Thank you @MaverickDanger and @Miseryl! I have had a good rummage and found some pleated skirts DD1 didn't want (she likes jersey skirts), so will definitely use those. I'm planning to re-dye the school logo cardi as they are very pricey and DD2 preferred a v Neck jumper, so it has barely been worn by her. Other than that I will probably just do a quick shop for polos, shoes and socks as cheaply as possible (DD3 is even more active as DD2 so will need lots of spares!)
