Product Information
Full details
This Trutex Permanent Pleated School Skirt is designed for girls, offering a durable and smart option for school wear. Its key benefit is the permanent pleats that maintain their sharp look and the stain-resistant, sustainable fabric. A potential consideration is that for ages 10+, a back zip with button fastening is included, which might require assistance for younger children to dress independently. The skirt features stitched-down pleats, a pull-on waistband for ease of wear, and is made from recycled polyester, making it both practical and eco-conscious.

Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their sharpness
Ensure the skirt is washed on a gentle cycle and ironed on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat which can damage the pleat stitching.
Stains not coming out easily
For stubborn stains on black or navy variants, pre-treat the affected area before washing. For other colours, test a stain remover on an inconspicuous area first.
Skirt feels too tight or loose at the waist
For younger children, ensure the pull-on waistband is correctly positioned. For sizes 10+, check the back zip and button fastening are secured appropriately. Consider if the size is correct; refer to the size guide.
Fabric appears faded after washing
Wash the skirt inside out and use a detergent suitable for coloured fabrics. Avoid excessive sun exposure during drying.
