FAQs

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Trutex size chart provided. Measure your child's waist and the desired skirt length. Compare these measurements to the chart to find the best fit. The internal waist adjuster offers some flexibility.

Is the stain resistance permanent?

The stain-resistant finish is designed to be durable but may diminish over time with frequent washing and wear. Proper care can help maintain its effectiveness for longer.

Can this skirt be worn in summer?

The 65% Polyester, 35% Viscose blend offers moderate breathability. While suitable for year-round wear, it may feel warmer than natural fiber skirts in very hot weather.

What is the material of the skirt?

The skirt is made from a 65% Polyester and 35% Viscose Twill fabric blend.

How often should I wash the skirt?

It is recommended to wash the skirt as needed, following the care instructions. Frequent washing of school uniforms is typical for maintaining hygiene.

What should I do if the skirt is too long or too short?

The skirt is available in various lengths. If the length is not quite right, you may need to exchange it for a different length option. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a seamstress.

Does the skirt require special washing?

No, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.

Troubleshooting

Skirt does not fit correctly

Re-check the size guide and ensure accurate measurements were taken. Utilize the internal waist adjuster for minor fit adjustments. If significantly ill-fitting, consider exchanging for a different size.

Stains are difficult to remove

For stubborn stains, pre-treat the affected area with a suitable fabric stain remover before washing. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the fabric.

Pleats are losing their shape

Ensure the skirt is dried according to care instructions, preferably by hanging. Avoid over-drying in a tumble dryer, which can flatten pleats. Ironing on a low heat setting can help reshape them if needed.

Zipper is stiff or sticking

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This skirt requires no setup, as it is ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size based on the provided size guide, paying attention to both waist and length measurements. The skirt is designed to be compatible with most standard school uniform policies, particularly those requiring grey skirts. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the skirt at a low temperature, preferably on a gentle cycle, using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and the pleats' shape. Iron on a low setting if necessary, focusing on smooth areas rather than the pleats themselves.
