Hello Kitty asda school uniform

[mumtoAlex]

Just seen some Hello Kitty school uniform at my local Asda...looks lovely but not sure how it will go down in the playground. Has anyone bought it?

I think it would be very popular with the younger children perhaps not in KS2

I wouldn't as I don't think it's appropriate for school clothes. I also think it's totally the wrong direction to go in. I really do not want to be having an argument next year over Spider-Man / superhero or what ever branded uniform

It wouldn't be allowed at our school. Check the uniform policy before buying it.
I would hate for school uniform to go down the branded route personally though I'm sure some of the children would like it!

really?

Nope! Plain grey skirts only here.

It's available in plain gret version with a belt

Each to their own. However, I wouldn't buy the one with the belt as it might take ages to iron in order to keep the creases in the pleats sharp.

Lots of my class wear similar but with daisy or heart belts which must be last year's thing

I actually like it

Think it looks subtle enough tbh

I saw these and was tempted as dd loves Hello kitty. I decided against them though because they were more expensive.

I liked the jersey pinafore with the Hello Kitty lining

Its not allowed in either of my DC's schools (the skirts mrz describes aren't allowed either, they can wear plain belts if they actually need them to keep their trousers/skirt up but no decorative belts).

It's a shame as I think DD would love hello kitty uniform.

£5 for a polo shirt she will spill dinner on/paint/poke with a felt tip. although she has asked nicely for one!

blueberryboybait £5 for a polo shirt she will spill dinner on/paint/poke with a felt tip. I pay £8 per polo shirt for my DCs (mind you school colour and logo embroidered) so £5 would be a bargain to me lol

Aah, at our school infants only need a logo polo for photo day and Mass days and at £10.50 each they have 1each! When they go into juniors they need a logo polo or logo shirt and tie. I assume they know they likelihood of mess is less with juniors.

Bought some for my dds last year. Won't be buying more this year as the hello kitty novelty wore off and they weren't bothered so not worth extra money

Wouldn't be allowed at my daughter's school but even if it was, no way would I buy it. setting a precedent.

Setting a precedent for what?

I like it.

As a teacher, my biggest gripe is manufacturers that make dresses and pinafores so straight the poor girls can't get them on or off without help. So at least it looks like the zip in the Asda one goes down far enough.

I liked fact that it's jersey so should have some stretch and easy wash

Setting a precedent for wanting character stuff on all their clothes with the associated ripoff prices

Hardly

If they survived to five with the odd character top then they can cope the rest of the time.

Dd likes monster high. Doesn't demand all her clothes have it on them
