School uniform - what do I REALLY need?

MrsJT · 19/07/2010 14:50

My DD starts school in September and I'm trying to work out what I need to buy uniform-wise and how many of each ie, does she need 5 of everything? Or would 2-3 jumpers/cardis be enough?

Also she struggles with tights because she has eczema and they make her itch. Does anyone know where I can get gray leggings?

i get my ds, five polo shirts, three jumpers and three pairs of trousers, two pair of shorts and two t-shirts for PE.

i only then have to do one dark wash during the week.

Not quite leggings, but I did see knee-high grey socks in Matalan.

My DD can get away with 2 cardies/jumpers, 2 skirts and 2 polos or 2 summer dresses. She has more than this but only uses this amount each week. She's not a particularly messy child, doesn't get covered in paint/dinner etc. She also wears either a pair of tights or socks fresh each day obviously!

Three maximum skirts, dresses or trousers.

Five polo shirts.

Two or three sweatshirts or cardis.

Next also do over the knee grey socks.
