My other thread on here made me think about how common it is now to see the gingham summer dresses at school, as in my area they die out around p5 and certainly not secondary, even the private schools where there is very little between p4 and s6 uniform. DD is 11 and if she wasn't insisting on them I wouldn't bother getting them for her. BHS have them up to age 13 which I assumed was for larger than average primary girls, then the generous fit range takes them up to ladies size 20 or thereabouts. Do secondary girls wear these in some places? I did back in the 80s but this is 2013 where even 10 or 11 year olds rarely wear them.
