We have been looking for a decent winter skirt for DD for school as her current one is quite flimsy and getting small (we got her trousers for winter but now she does want a skirt after all). Besides colour the only school requirements are they are close to the knee and have no slits (the latter narrowing choice with ladies skirts). I bought her a skirt from a local retailer which is the Trutex all round pleats, supposedly 36 inch waist which we measured (she didn't come to the shop) and it just slipped down. More like 40" when we measured.
Has anyone else had problems with uniform not being true to size? I now need to take it back as I don't see her growing into it, and persuade her to come to the shop this time to find a better one.
