Sixth Form Business Suit fog size 4 daughter

[AuntieRaRa]

Hi there
My daughter starts sixth form in September and I know that sounds like a long way away! However she is measuring a women’s size 4 and I’m struggling to find anywhere that stocks short skirts and jackets. M&S were my go to but they start at size 6. Anyone else struggle with this? Or find a brand that has size 4? Thanks in advance 😊

Missing the point but why does she needs suit?

• need a

I've never heard of a 6th form that required a suit.

Please dont say it's a skirt suit!

Try ASOS

My son starts sixth form in September and it's business dress with jacket for both sexes...

The 6th form my ds is planning to go also have to wear suits.

Eg,

Can you buy from the school uniform range?

I wear clothes in sizes 4-6 and ASOS has a good range of smaller sizes.
Or, if you just need something like plain white blouses, maybe the teenage range in other shops?

Most of the school sixth forms round here require business wear.

My DD got some in Next - not sure how small they go?

My daughters school wear a suit, her and her friends (daughter is a 6) buy from ASOS, PLT, BOO HOO, M&S is probably a bit old fashioned for that age.

ASOS do trousers skirts and blazers in size 4

Try H&M or Uniqlo

H & M do suits and separates in a size 4.

You might be better finding a dress maker.

And VI fors near me have suits or 'business atire.

I know of two schools where they wear suits.

I hate this trend, most will be going on to uni and will spend the nest 3 years in jeans and hoodies, it's such a waste. Sorry not helpful but I'm in a bit of a rant mood today.

I agree. The sixth form at DS's school luckily is just smart casual but does not allow blue jeans (other colours are fine) or hoodies. I don't understand the difference between blue and green jeans, and a hooded sweatshirt and one without a hood .

I think it is utterly ridiculous. It’s a lot of expense for a few years when chances are they’ll be looking like complete scruffs at uni. I don’t know when the last time I wore a suit was at work- probably 2008.

Would she be able to get away with a blazer and separates? A jersey blazer would probably be ok if a little oversized.

Next are good for small sizes

Yes!!

Unless they go from sixth form to some sort of office job (and I’m not sure most office jobs require women to wear a suit) then it’s such a waste of money and resources.

@sashh I agree too about this trend being unnecessary. Just have certain things not acceptable, for example boys showing their dirty (or if my a miracle clean) underwear.

I managed to get some rather nice size 4 business style wear in Primark

Yes H&M is where a lot of our 6th formers go and they have said it has been helpful to have suits for interviews for internships, for work experience etc going forward. Ours are allowed to wear jackets with dresses as well as skirts or trouser suits.

My daughter wore business suits for sixth form. I have to say I think it's good as although she wore a kilt for school up until that point for a lot of teens this is the first time they will
Have worn any kind of
Formal dress.

Zara are pretty good for business wear in an x-small may work.
