FAQs

What age group is this skirt designed for?

This specific model, the Trutex Girl's Junior Stitch Down Pleat Skirt, is sized for girls aged 9-10 years (UK sizing).

How do I ensure the correct size?

Please refer to the Trutex size guide and measure your child's waist and length. This skirt is available in various UK children's sizes.

Is the fabric breathable?

The skirt is made from a polyester blend, which is known for its durability and ease of care. While polyester can be less breathable than natural fibers, it is designed for comfortable everyday school wear.

Can I machine wash and dry this skirt?

Yes, the skirt is machine washable at 40°C and can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.

How are the pleats maintained?

The pleats are permanently stitched down to hip level, designed to maintain their sharpness through regular wear and washing without needing frequent ironing.

What does 'RE-VIVE recycled polyester' mean?

It means the fabric is made from 65% recycled polyester, which is derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, contributing to waste reduction.

Does this skirt come in other colours?

This particular product listing is for the grey skirt. Trutex offers school skirts in other colours, such as black, which may be available in different product variations.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing shape after washing

Ensure the skirt is not overloaded in the washing machine and follow the recommended washing temperature. Avoid harsh spin cycles. For best results, hang to dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Stains not coming out easily

Treat fresh stains immediately by blotting with a clean cloth. For persistent stains, use a mild stain remover suitable for polyester fabrics before washing. Refer to the care label for specific product recommendations.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight

For pull-on styles, ensure the correct size based on waist measurement. For sizes with zip and button fastening, check the waist and length measurements against the size guide. Some minor adjustments may be possible with a tailor if needed.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Use a fabric conditioner during the final rinse cycle, or tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls or a clean tennis ball to soften the fabric.
