Girls' Bralettes:

We feel that there isn’t a set size for bodies at different ages, and we don’t want to put any additional pressure on young girls, so our sizing looks a little different. We have 4 sizes, all named after Ugandan towns! We suggest using band width as a starting point, although do get in touch if you have any specific sizing questions.

Size	Band Width (in)	Band Width (cm)	Fits Ages (Approx.)	Worn By:
Jinja	23	57-58	9-10	Hollie & Amelia, age 9 1/2, band with 23"

thumbs up

I found you through Blue Patch and I LOVE your Mara knickers - vibrant design and super comfortable as well as Fairtrade and organic. What could be better. I order 4 more after I discovered how comfy they are to wear. Great values, great vibes.

Thank you very much for this lovely review Harriet. I'm so pleased you found us (big thanks to Blue Patch!) and that you like your new Mara knickers - and the work we're doing. Thank you for your support!

What a treat!!

I have just received my first bralette and pants order fromY.O. U. and it certainly will not be my last! The new range “Mara “ is Amazing arrived in the post just 24 hrs after my first tentative questions on sizing. I got a very positive friendly reply to what I thought was a silly question on sizing, however Y.o.u. With their experience and knowledge sorted me out in no time at all and now I have the most comfortable, stylish feel good undies. A great lockdown pressie for anyone needing a bit of fun and colour !! thank you!!

Thank you for your lovely review Sophie and I am so pleased that you like your new Mara bralette and boy shorts. No question is silly, particularly around sizing, which can be a complicated issue and I'm glad we got it sorted and you now have new comfy undies :) Let me know if I can help with anything else and thanks again. Sarah

Gorgeous!

I absolutely love my new undies and am so happy to have discovered Y.O.U! They are without a doubt the most comfortable pants I have ever worn, and the design is beautiful. I think of them as my warrior pants, and we all need something that makes us feel good. Delivery and packaging was fabulous and a lovely handwritten note to say thankyou, just a joy to receive.

Lynn, thank you so much for your amazing review. I'm so pleased that you like your new undies and our new designs. I couldn't be more proud that these are your new warrior pants! Thanks again, Sarah x
