As any parent knows, children have the uncanny ability of growing in stops and starts, sometimes able to fit into the same outfits for two years in a row, sometimes going through shoe sizes like chocolate bars. M&S aims to make measuring your children as easy as possible for this precise reason.

Our measuring tables make it easy to get an idea of what sizes you’ll need to keep an eye out for when shopping with us, and we have colour-coded them to make size ranges as simple to find as possible. No more fussing around with changing rooms, as our precisely-tailored children’s clothing will fit them comfortably.

So, take your measuring tape and use our guide to select the ideal wardrobe every time your child needs a range of new clothing as they grow. You’ll never have to search the labels again, so breathe a sigh of relief!
