do think Amanda should have gone to Primark and got brand new shirts/blouses, skirts/trousers for the new term. Hand me downs not today's standard. I am also sure the kids themselves would have loved brand new uniform.

Its also acceptable, maydup, to give away your second hand childrens clothes to charity for those not able to buy new.

Always handed down clothes, everything but shoes. They were always new.

I never had hand-me-downs.
I'd have looked very odd in my sisters skirts...

I had a pair of second hand shoes - black patent with ankle straps from a posh girl whose family my mum cleaned for - I thought they were hideous! Also had second hand jodhpurs with the wide legs and a very nice riding mac which I used for years.

APG, I think what bednobs means , her daughters cardigans cost £15 each because they’re custom made with the school badge on them, a lot of schools practice this rip off

Being seven years younger than my sister I didn't ever get anything handed down from her when we were kids, but now she is in her seventies she gives me loads of stuff!

[bednobs]

i also didnt get hand me downs from my sister - she's a gazelle and im a heffalump :)

I’m the eldest but nevertheless, grew up with jumble sales or handmade clothes. We made our own skirts and dresses and grandmothers knitted the jumpers and scarves.

[ummmm]

Never had hand-me-downs as such. My sister and I were the same size so we shared our clothes.

Couldn't do that now though.
