FAQs

What material is the skirt made from?

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

How do I determine the correct size?

Sizes are indicated by UK waist (W) and length (L) measurements, for example, W22 L16. It is recommended to measure the child's waist and desired skirt length for the best fit.

Is the stain-resistant finish permanent?

The stain-resistant finish is designed to be durable and effective for the lifetime of the garment under normal wear and proper care. However, heavy or old stains may still require specific treatment.

Can I iron this skirt?

Yes, the skirt can be ironed on a low heat setting. High heat should be avoided to preserve the permanent pleats.

How often should the skirt be washed?

The skirt can be washed as needed, following the 40°C machine wash instructions. Regular washing will help maintain its appearance and hygiene.

Does this skirt have pockets?

This specific model, the Trutex Girls Harrow Grey Back Pleated School Skirt, does not feature pockets. It has a back zip with button fastening.

What are the benefits of the internal waist adjuster?

The internal waist adjuster allows for a more customized and comfortable fit, accommodating slight variations in waist size or growth spurts throughout the school year.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their sharpness after washing

Ensure the skirt is not over-dried on high heat. Air drying or a low-heat tumble dry is recommended. Ironing on a low setting while slightly damp can help restore pleat definition.

Stains not coming out completely

For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area before washing with a mild stain remover suitable for polyester/viscose blends. Wash as per care instructions.

Waistband adjuster becoming difficult to use

Check for any lint or debris obstructing the adjuster mechanism. Gently maneuver it to free any obstruction. If damage is suspected, professional repair may be needed.

Skirt appears faded

Avoid washing with harsh detergents or at excessively high temperatures. Ensure the garment is dried away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
