Question
According to the Ashkenazi custom of not wearing freshly laundered clothes during the thirty days of mourning unless worn for a short time, can a small child prepare clothes for an adult, even if they are not in his size?
Answer
The preparation of the garment is effective even if it is not in the maker's size.
Source
It is explained in the poskim that if another person wears the garment, the mourner can wear laundered clothes with detergent, as wearing it reduces its laundered status, and therefore it makes no difference whether the garment is in size or too large.
