Full details
This Trutex school skirt is designed for girls aged 7 years and up, offering a smart and durable option for daily school wear.

Troubleshooting
Pleats are losing their shape after washing.
Ensure the skirt is washed on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat in the tumble dryer. Line drying and then a light iron may help restore pleat sharpness.
Stains are not coming out.
For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a mild stain remover before washing. Avoid using bleach, as this can damage the fabric. For best stain resistance, ensure you are washing the black or navy variant.
Skirt seems too tight or loose.
Check the size guide provided by Trutex and compare it to your child's measurements. For minor adjustments, the pull-on waistband offers some flexibility.
Zip is difficult to fasten.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently guide the zip up. If the issue persists, the zip may require professional repair.
