FAQs

How do I ensure I buy the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Trutex and measure your child's waist and desired length. The internal waist adjuster offers some flexibility, but a proper initial fit is recommended.

Is the stain-resistant finish permanent?

The stain-resistant finish is designed to last for the expected lifespan of the garment with proper care. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish.

Can this skirt be worn by younger children?

This specific product is listed for 'adult' age group with a UK waist size of 30. Trutex offers similar pleated skirts in various sizes suitable for children; please check the product details for available children's sizes and styles.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Viscose Twill, offering a balance of durability and comfort.

How often should the skirt be washed?

The skirt can be washed as needed, following the care instructions. The durable fabric and stain-resistant finish are designed for regular wear and cleaning.

Does the internal waist adjuster significantly change the fit?

The internal waist adjuster provides a few inches of flexibility, allowing for a more snug or slightly looser fit within a given size. It's primarily for fine-tuning comfort.

What is the difference between this and other Trutex skirts?

This skirt features stitch-down permanent pleats and a stain-resistant finish, distinguishing it from skirts with different pleating styles or fabric treatments. Check the specific product descriptions for other models.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing shape after washing

Ensure the skirt is ironed whilst damp on a medium heat setting to reactivate the permanent pleats. Avoid over-drying in the tumble dryer.

Stains not washing out completely

Pre-treat stubborn stains before washing. Check care label for recommended stain removal methods suitable for polyester-viscose blends.

Skirt feels too tight or loose

Adjust the internal waist adjuster to achieve a comfortable fit. If the fit is still not ideal, consider if a different size is needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil lead can help.
