We realise how challenging this year has been and are aware of the difficulties facing families in sourcing the more \u2018traditional\u2019 outfits. If you already have such outfits for your child then, of course, they can be presented wearing this. However, we would urge you not to spend lots of money, especially this year, which has been financially challenging for so many families.
