British Manufacturer Now offering Plus-Size Uniforms for Preschool Students

School uniforms for preschoolers now come in plus sizes in Great Britain.

  • Marks and Spencer will sell plus-sized uniforms for ages 3 to 16 years old.
  • Three-year-olds can find pants with 23-inch waistlines, a size usually worn by eight-year-olds.
  • The largest sizes feature waistlines up to 41 inches.

"It is a small online trial running in response to customer demand," said a spokesperson for the company. "Marks and Spencer is the leading school wear retailer, and we will make sure our school wear is accessible for children of all shapes and sizes."
