Full details
The Trutex Permanent Pleated School Skirt is designed for girls aged 10+ needing a durable and smart uniform option. Its key benefit is the permanently stitched pleats that maintain their sharp appearance, even after frequent washing. A potential caveat is the pull-on waistband, which might require assistance for younger children or those who prefer a zip and button closure.
