My Child New Beginnings outfits live in three places in the loop: you buy them in the Clothing tab of the village shop, you put them on from the wardrobe in the child's bedroom, and when they tear you mend them by hand at the dining table. Dirty clothes go through the washing machine; torn clothes never come back to the wardrobe.

My Child New Beginnings outfits: the Clothing tab
The child's clothing and accessories are sold in the Clothing tab of the village shop. The shop's five tabs and rotating stock are here. The store has been restocked several times since launch with new clothing items, and there have also been seasonal and themed additions:
A free outfit was handed out to players who added the game to their wishlist.
School outfits and accessories arrived in later updates.
The Halloween pack dresses the child in ghost costumes, and pumpkin seeds went to every player so you can grow your own pumpkins.
On mobile the seasonal outfits are sold as cosmetic packs, such as Hearts and Hugs and Frostmas Atmosphere. On Steam the edition comes with more than 30 premium outfits and decorations, and after the story you can keep collecting new ones.
Wearing an outfit
Tap the bear icon at the bottom of the screen to enter the child's bedroom.
Click the wardrobe on the right to open the dressing screen.
Drag the outfit onto the child.
When clothes get dirty
Dirty clothes fall to the floor and go into the wash on their own, and they can be worn again afterwards. Laundry is done at the washing machine in the bathroom: drag the clothes from the basket into the machine, then come back later and collect them.
When clothes tear
A torn garment does not return to the wardrobe. It appears on the manual mending table on the dining table, and only after the mending is finished can the child wear it again.
Go to the dining table.
Click the scissors-shaped icon on the left of the screen.
In the handcrafting interface, mend the garment. The repair costs one action point.
The same table and the same scissors icon mend a backpack that classmates have damaged. That repair is covered here.
Furnishing the house
Furniture is placed from a separate list in the house, and a few pieces make the daily chores faster. What to buy and place is covered here.
FAQ
How do I mend torn clothes?
Repair them at the table. A damaged backpack also has to be repaired before the child can carry it, and the school step waits for that.
Why can I not find an item in the village shop?
Stock rotates, so an item is not necessarily on the list at the moment you look. Refreshing swaps the food and toy listings, and the school backpack only turns up after you page through the Clothes tab.
