School Uniform questions

jellyhead

my town doesn't have bhs or debenhams, so i'll look next time i see one elsewhere thanks savvy! he's fussy about the feel of the material and how it hangs, how it touches his other clothes etc. so i can't just buy online, have to try things on. when he grows up he says he'll be a chav because they get to wear clothes that feel like pyjamas all day :rotfl:

jules i don't like ironing the cheap ones either, and he doesn't like buttoning them up. the school sell polos and sweatshirts with the logo added but theirs are the cheap ones too.

I got my DD back in March when I found out which High School she was going to.. and beat the rush....
her Blazer was from LX direct £12 delivered, shirts from Tesco 3 for 6.50 x2 ,trousers from Tesco F& F range x2, no Jumpers required.. not allowed..

PE kit,was bought from School Supplier,white shirt £7 and rugby shirt £14 with school emblem..very reasonable but still the most expensive,cheapy trainers for indoor PE from Wynsors £5,and Footy boots from S&Soccer £8

DS I got from BHS and Tesco,just shirts n jumpers.. his trousers mainly ok.

Any ideas where I can get uniform, particlularly skirts and trousers for my eldest daughter as she is very tall,( 5 foot 6 inches) has size 8 shoes and has a fuller figure than many her age (13).

I always struggle around this time of year to find anything that fits as the many places don't appear to take account of the fact that many young people are not 'average' size.

Cheers.

My eldest daughter is 11 and is 5ft 8 tall, takes a size 14 and a bra size of 36D. I managed to get some trousers today which looked just like school trousers from QD's in a size 16 (because she likes them roomy) for £4.99 and a white blouse in a 14 from New Look for £4.99. My youngest daughter is 9 and measures 5ft 4 and takes a size 12 so next week I'll buy for her too.

my dd1 is fourteen and nearly 5' 8" tall and quite well developed so buying uniform is always a disaster area! last week i found some trousers in New Look up to size 18 and 32" leg,only £10 and she actualy liked them!!

Thats the biggest problem. She doesnt seem to like anything on offer :mad:

My 9 year old is 5' 6" and a size 4 so I have to buy clothes to fit her length but they inevitably don't fit her waist, so it's a good job I'm handy with the old needle and thread!

I always get my girls uniforms from the next sale, and they sell the 33" leg trousers I need so it's happiness all round.
