for being angry with school for describing DD's trousers as 'sexy'?

[EccentricaGallumbits]

They have a very strict new uniform policy.
Policy states classic black trousers. No loose weave or casual trousers.

DD is wearing black trousers (admittedly from new look but they do long lngth ones)

she is tall and very skinny. To get trousers to fit her they are narrow - because she is.

Girls pulled out of lessons and their trousers jiggled to see if they are lose enough

a selection of girls told their trousers are not suitable because they are 'sexy'

My daughter is 11.

I do not appreciate anyone describing her or her clothes as sexy.

I am cross.

It must be difficult, mine are in school shop bought pinnies at £40 a go but honestly if schools made them wear those up to at least year 6 it would be a start.
Why couldn't you buy the M&S trousers and pull in the adjustable waist just out of interest ?

You can still go to a uniform outfitters and pick up skirts that would pass the 'kneeling down' test. They might cost a bit more but there will be a % wool in them .

I bought the M&S trousers online and had to send them back. The age 12 were too short on her and the age 13 made her look like Coco the Clown. Pulling in the adjustable waist was the least of the issues. By my reckoning the age 12 and age 13 were at least three sizes apart - I don't know what kind of growth spurt they expect 12 year olds to have.

See being a little tartlet myself I'd have sent her as Coco lol

We just bought one £40 pinny each which actually is working out fine not sure why I ever bought 5 skirts but anyway completely off topic.

I have a tall slim 12 year old, and her school trousers have been taken in at the waist by me ( i have vast experience of this!). Her friend at primary school had very short legs, and had to wear trousers which were some sort of stretchy fabric to try and get a waist/leg combination. Her mother was advised by the principal that they were 'sexualising'. So I have sympathy for the jiggled dd of OP! (I also have a 16 year old in an 'adapted' skirt. And last year she was furious because there was 'sock detention' for girls wearing trousers with the wrong colour of socks - boy socks were not checked). Give me strength.

My dd is very short and v fat. We have to get two pairs of trousers and cut and paste. No one wants to jiggle her tho.

when you have a v tall child those with adjustable waists tend to be ankle swinging

those that are long enough do not have adjustable waists

its very hard to find the right balance

If they are such a pain why bother with trousers then, really ?
Skirts and tights look so much smarter anyway.

tights are an issue as well

DD doesn't wear skirts for the reasons I mentioned below. You wouldn't wear skirts in the office if your male colleagues were wont to make remarks like 'horny little slut' when they pass you in the corridor.

Dd1's new school says skirts must be knee length or longer. I went and bought her one at M&S and it's knee length or slightly shorter but there was nothing else available so I went with it. So far so good - she looks very smart in it. I would be livid tbh if anyone told her it wasn't good enough. But then this whole uniform thing is getting up my nose. Her lovely primary didn't have one. Years of her just wearing clothes - always looked nice, always appropriate for the weather, nothing fell apart because I bough decent quality. Now she has to wear the uniform and I had to go and buy it all at vast expense including the school sodding jumper which promptly frayed at the sleeves after 6 days wear! I wish, wish wish they didn't have a uniform tbh. If I could have sent her to a school without one I would have but that's not possible in our city.

My dds are at a coed school and wear trousers for 'practcal' days when they have subjects like metalwork. I prefer tracksuit days when they look comfortable!

I'd want to know which pervert teacher had taken on the job of jiggling trousers .

Saw this and thought of this thread.
