Full details

This Trutex Stitch Down Pleat Skirt in Grey, size 8, is designed for young girls seeking a smart and durable school uniform option.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the stitched-down pleats?

The primary benefit is that the pleats are permanently stitched to stay sharp and in place, meaning the skirt always looks neat without constant re-pleating.

Is the stain resistance feature available on the grey skirt?

No, the specific 'RE-VIVE fabric' with enhanced stain resistance is mentioned for the black and navy variants. The grey skirt focuses on the durability and ease of care of its permanent pleats.

What is the recommended age range for the pull-on waistband versus the zip/button fastening?

The pull-on waistband is designed for younger children to dress themselves easily. The back zip with button fastening is specified for ages 10 and above.

How should I wash this school skirt?

The skirt is machine washable at 40°C. It can be tumble dried on a low heat setting and ironed on a cool setting if necessary. Wash with similar colors.

What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is made from a polyester blend, with 65% of the fabric being RE-VIVE recycled polyester.

Does Trutex offer other colors or sizes in this pleated skirt style?

Yes, Trutex offers this pleated skirt style in various colors, including black and navy, and across a wide range of sizes for children and adults. Please refer to the product's sibling information for other available options.

How durable is the fabric?

The skirt is made from a durable polyester blend designed to endure frequent washing and daily wear throughout the school year, as supported by Trutex's long history in schoolwear manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their sharpness

Ensure the skirt is ironed while damp on a low heat setting. Avoid excessive heat which can damage synthetic fibers.

Waistband feels too loose or tight

While designed for a comfortable fit, minor adjustments may be needed. For younger children with pull-on waistbands, ensure the correct size is selected. For older sizes with zip/button, check fastening.

Stains not coming out (on grey variant)

Treat stains promptly with a mild detergent. For persistent stains on this non-stain-resistant grey fabric, a careful spot clean or professional cleaning may be required.

Skirt appears faded after washing

Always wash at the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying.
