school skirt for a small 4 yr old

carebear13

am looking for a skirt for a 4 yr old who has a skinny bum and is not very tall. she is 97cms height and really waist wise needs to be in 2-3 yrs.
asda is not too bad length wise but in a skirt if i use the adjustable waistthe front of the skirt is fine but the back ends up really short lol.
am really struggling to find smaller sizes of school wear.

Some of BHS uniforms are from age 3 in the junior section. Would a pinafore dress fit better?

I have this problem too. Sainsburys sell skirts that have adjustable waists which seem to work well for her.

Hi

I would either try and get a skirt with adjustable elastic in the waist, most of the supermarkets and laces like Marks and Spencer, BHS sell these.
Or I would use pinafores for her if they are allowed at your school

Next start their school skirt range from age 3.

Edited to add - the pleated skirt also has an adjustable waist so might be a decent fit. I buy that for my skinny, but tall daughter as in most other places it's either huge on the waist or too short.

I can second Sainsburys. My 1st DD was the same. If not the independant chains that supply to private schools often have age 2 uniforms in as thats when the children start there

Next and sainburys start from 3. Sainburys I found the best.

It is to emphasise the "professional" aspect of education/going into the workplace - to instil a "professional" attitude to their work.

Asdas often have suits - in small-ish sizes - quite cheaply. If not - Next!

i understand that- but these are kids who are still growing, and i personally dont think that wearing a suit makes you any more professional than someone who doesnt. i got him one from bhs in the end, the asda one wasnt very good quality and next was a bit too dear.
still all done now- and wasnt too painful.lol.

thank you for the help everyone.x
