Soft Clothing: Review & Giveaway

Kids in general can’t stand uncomfortable clothes, but for children with sensory integration/processing disorder it can be unbearable.  Many children with autism also have sensory issues, and find tags, seams and certain fabrics, extremely distracting and annoying.  Finding acceptable clothing for these kids, which has style and color options has been problematic for many parents.

The Soft Clothing Company produces casual, yet stylish clothes for children with sensitivity issues.  Created by a mom entrepreneur, the line is tagless, flat seamed, and constructed from soft brushed and bio-washed cotton.  The collars are wider for added comfort and the dyes and prints used are natural and water based to avoid allergy issues.  The line includes both long and short sleeved T-shirts, slacks, dresses and cardigans, all in an array of colors.

My daughter has been recently diagnosed with autism herself.  While her sensory issues don’t prohibit her from wearing a lot of items, she does seem to get annoyed with tags.

I received a T-shirt from Soft Clothing to try out with her, and found the fabric to be super soft.  She is only 3, but tall for her age, so although the line is meant for kids from 4-12, the T-shirt was only slightly big on her.  We usually wash in cold and tumble dry at our house, and the shirt has held up very well.

I found the prices for this sensory friendly line of clothing to be very reasonable, ranging from 10-25 dollars per item.  If you like the gold color, of the T-shirt my daughter is wearing, take note that all items that color are 10% off this week with the discount code: RAINBOW.  Soft clothing picks a different color each week to run  a discount on.  I chose this color myself, since it seemed great with spring and summer approaching.

Verdict: These comfortable, durable and easy to mix & match clothes are great for all kids, not just those with sensory issues.  I especially, think these are great choices for school uniforms.  Comfort is conducive to learning.

Disclaimer:  While I received a sample T-shirt to try, the views presented here are my own honest opinion and no monetary compensation was given.
