Think shirts and tie work out cheaper in the end though mel ..and they wear a lot better than sweat/polo shirts, which are susceptable to colour loss and shrinking and look really sloppy after a few months. A set of decent white/blue shirts can last a least a couple of years .. more if your children don't grow too fast. No answer to the ironing though, but just think how smart they will look after your effort ... :D

Worked with a lady who had a 33" leg .. wow.. longest legs I have ever seen .. terrific.. but what a problem, she did have some pants that were half mast. Shame there are not many 'dressmakers' bespoke tailors around these days. Know could prove expensive, however, could chose a really good fabric for her and if you consider the cost per wear, may work out cheaper in the long run and will fit a treat.

How silly.I bought my son's white shirts from Abbey Street 2 years ago.They're not Trutex.I don't know what make they are,they're just the cheapo ones.They still look lovely and very smart.How white shirts look depends very much on how they're treated and how you wash them.If you wash them correctly and look after them they will look good regardless of what make they are.Trutex are not infallible.Even they will look scruffy and grey if they're washed with jeans and other dark clothing.It's ridiculous that this school is telling you they have to be a certain brand.
How will they be monitoring this situation anyway?Do they intend to peer down all the children's necks to check the labels?:(
 
thought idea of uniforms was to stop fashion parade now schools are asking more of parents makes logos ect ..same colur any make or no uniforms at all
 
at rhyddings they wear high heels and glitter belts, like i said before its chav central!!:D;)
 
Saga bit no 2, my girls have just gone down to Abbey st to change one set of shirts for a bigger size, daughter rings [as i told her to if she had probs exchanging it] the next size up they want another £2 on top, like hell yeh, so asks daughter to tell shop keeper for either a credit note, refund or other shirts that fit to that amount i have paid, so rings daughter back as shes leaving shop result, no £2 extra no shirt, so says i'll ring the shop, just as i get the phone no dialled, mobile goes off, my other girl says no worries we got the shirt next size up for that price already paid. Whay-de-go good girl power LOL im proud as punch:D

Blumming shirts are those fitted ones so obiviously smaller than standard because of the trutex thing style to charge more for next size which my daughter isnt big was a cheek:(

Pity those poor Paddock House girls who had rubber suspenders attached to theirs to keep up those orangy brown thick stockings :D

God that uniform was the pits. When I passed my eleven plus mum couldn't afford the uniform(Thahk God) so I went to Notre Dame, the uniform there was bad enough but nowhere as bad as Paddock's.:eek:
