This thread is for the 50 MNers who have been testing Matalan school uniform with their child. Thank you for taking part - we'd like you to add feedback twice - once when your child has just started wearing the items you bought, and again in a few weeks time when you've put the uniform through its paces by wearing and washing it lots.

Below are some questions to get you started but please feel free to add other comments too. In a few weeks we'll add some more questions for your second lot of feedback. Everyone who adds 2 lots of feedback on this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will get a £250 high street voucher and two runners-up will get a £50 high street voucher each.

Please state what items of Matalan school uniform you bought and the age and gender of your child in replying.

Q1 What were your first impressions of the uniform? Please think about the fit, quality and cost of the items you bought when you answer.
Q2 How did you find the sizes? Did they fit well?

Q3 What does your child think of their new uniform? Did they find it comfortable? Did they/you think what you had bought was fashionable/stylish (within the limits of school uniform!)?
Q4 Do you think that the items you bought are good value for money? If so, why? If not, why not?
Q5 And how did you find shopping for uniform in store?

Thanks
MNHQ

Hi testers

We've already asked you for your initial impressions of the Matalan school uniform you bought. Now we're on to the second (and final) stage of feedback, now that you've had your uniform for a while and your DCs have hopefully been putting it through its paces! Everyone who adds a second lot of feedback will be entered into a prize draw to win one of three high street vouchers (one worth £250 and two worth £50).

Below are some questions to get you started. Please feel free to add your own comments/suggestions as well.

  1. Has the uniform worn well or not? Would you say it's durable? Have you had to tackle any nasty stains? If so, were they easy to get out or not?
  1. How has the uniform coped with being washed repeatedly? And how easy or difficult is it to iron (if applicable!)?
  1. Have the items you bought kept their fit and shape well or not? If you bought any items with pleats in, did the pleats stay in or not?
  1. If your DC found the uniform comfortable to start with, do they still find it so? If they originally found it uncomfortable, have they found it more comfortable with time or not?
  1. How would you say the zips, buttons or other fastenings on the items you bought have coped with being used a lot?
  1. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Matalan school uniform to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?

Thanks very much for taking part,
MNHQ

Sorry wellies - my mistake!

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 25/10/2011 17:23

Tooearly - it's all my fault - shouldn't try to do complicated things like reminder emails on a Monday morning - should have taken you (and anyone else who's already added their second lot of feedback!) out but I didn't, sorry!

Was probably still reeling from the end of Spooks

Yes Maxy - you're ok - you've fallen foul of my mistake too, sorry!

But seriously...can those who haven't added their second lot of feedback yet please do so asap? I'm PMing you all now with another gentle reminder..
