Ensure purchases of durable garments by checking their construction. Clothes cut on the grain have threads crossing at right angles. These clothes hang straight and retain their shape better than clothes cut on the diagonal, or off the grain. Seams should have about 12 stitches per inch and be tied at the ends to prevent splitting. Felled seams with two rows of stitching lend extra strength to garments, especially sleepwear and play clothes.
Garments last longer if they have reinforcements at stress points: knees, elbows, crotch, pockets and buttonholes. Look for signs of reinforcement, such as patches, extra stitching, bar tacks, metal rivets, linings and interfacings.
Get longer service from clothing by selecting styles with features of growth allowance. Unfitted waistlines, adjustable straps and extra material in hems and cuffs extend garments as a child grows. A feature that accommodates both growth and comfort is sleeve design.
