As part of school uniform dtds need embroidered tracksuit bottoms. Whilst strictly speaking they are not compulsory NONE of the girls wwhere shorts and shorts are not appropriate for winter.
Therefore imho it is necessary for them to have a pair of tracksuit bottoms.
The school policy is that I have to buy a specific pair. We have been to try these on and they do not fit. Those which fit around the waist are far too short (see picture on profile).
In order to buy tracksuit that is long enough I have to buy a tracksuit which is 8" bigger round the waist, which is big enough to put them both in together. They do have elasticated waistband with drawstrings but it is just so bulky and uncomfortable when tied tight enough. There is so much excess fabric on the bum and legs.
They have very tall and skinny. I do have problems buying them clothes. I have to shop around for brands and styles to fit, and even then I often have to adjust the trousers by elasticating the back portion of the waistband. There is no scope for me to adjust these.
Where do I stand given that they could wear shorts as an alternative. I feel that this would be discrimination against them for being tall and slim.
