Tops look in children’s place - if it’s polo shirts they are like $4-6. My girls wear this. I don’t love the button down shirts - especially white. Blues aren’t as bad. Can also check old navy. .
I’ve gotten button down oxfords from lands end on sale. They wash gorgeous. But they are hard to find on sale these days.
You don’t need a lot of pieces.
Jumper - 2 (or 3) = 80
Tops - 5 = $100 max (but buy that cheap)
White button down - 1 = 25
So you can do full price for $200. But if you get cheap polos can be about $120.

Many schools have used uniform Gemachs that are free or much cheaper. You can call the school to find out.

Preppy pink and monet blue are the right colors.

You can also try posting on kghshuls, if you're a member, for subdue giving away uniforms they no longer need. I've gotten skirts And school sweaters that way since they tend to hold up. Shirts are harder to get used since they get ruined more easily.

Thank you this is very helpful.
For the button-down shirts, what is the right shirt or color choices?

You may want to check with the school. Some need the specific shade that the uniform store sells. They are expensive although they do hold up really well. You can call the school and ask about a uniform gemach. A lot of parents will donate outgrown uniforms in excellent condition

The light blue or light pink (same shade as the polos I linked previously) are the right color. I've tried a few different brands such as children's place and French toast for the shirts but didn't like them. I found the actual uniform ones to be much better. Again, you can post asking for someone whose child outgrew theirs and is giving away. Or you can purchase 2-3 button downs and for the rest get the cheaper polos.

These are boys button downs but might work for a girl too in the smaller sizes.
