1. How do I choose the right size for girls’ clothing?

The best way to get the right size is to measure your child instead of relying only on her age. Every child grows differently, so while our sizes are based on age ranges, using her height, chest (bust), and waist measurements will give you a better chance of finding clothes that truly fit well. Height: Measure from the top of her head to her feet while standing. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest. Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, just above the belly button. Once you have the measurements, check our Ackermans size chart. This chart helps match the measurements to the correct size, so you can be sure that the clothes will fit properly and comfortably. This also avoids the hassle of having to return or exchange items.

2. Should I size up for growing girls?

Yes, especially if your child is in-between sizes or going through a growth spurt (a time when kids grow quickly over a short period). Sizing up means buying one size larger than what she currently wears. For example, if she is starting to outgrow size 6-7, choose size 7-8 instead. This gives her room to grow, which means the clothes will last longer before needing to be replaced. Sizing up is also useful for items like jackets or leggings that need to last through a full school year or change of seasons.

3. Do you sell matching sets like leggings and tops for girls?

Yes. We offer a wide selection of coordinated outfits, also called matching sets or co-ords. These include tops that go perfectly with matching leggings, pants, or skirts. These sets make dressing your child quick and easy-especially on busy school mornings. Plus, they look neat and put together without needing to mix and match.

4. Are Ackermans clothes made from soft, comfortable materials?

Absolutely. Children’s skin is sensitive, so we use soft fabrics that feel gentle all day long. Most of our girls’ clothing is made with cotton blends-a mix of cotton and other fibres that keep clothing soft, breathable, and long-lasting. Breathable fabric means air can move through the material easily, helping your child stay cool when it’s warm, and cosy when it’s cold. These fabrics are easy to wash, easy to wear, and comfortable from morning until bedtime.

5. Do you stock Schoolwear for girls?

Yes. Ackermans is a trusted choice for affordable, high-quality Schoolwear. Our girls’ range includes school dresses, tunics, skirts, socks, jerseys, and more made with durable, easy-care fabrics that stand up to everyday wear. Our Schoolwear is designed to be washable, long-lasting, and comfortable, so your child looks neat and feels confident throughout the school year.
