i went to public school, and we wore our uniforms to school every single friday during football season. There usually wasn't a problem, but of course, there were a few girls who easily could have used a larger skirt. For those cases, the principal usually contacted our coach with a specific name to fix the problem. We also had an issue with one of the girls skirt being too short and her just wearing a thong underneath, but that is a whole other story.
My school rarely got new uniforms. and when they did, the new unis automatically went to the competition team. Then the old competition unis go to varsity, varsity to jv, jv to freshman. Basically, no one's uniform is ever custom fit unless you are on the competition team on the year they happen to get new uniforms. They also distributed uniforms in age order. So the seniors would pick their uniforms first, and so on. By the time I got my varsity uniform my freshman year, it was about 7 sizes too big. Luckily they let me alter it, but that skirt probably would have met catholic school dress codes it was soo long on me lol. After three years of terrible-fitting uniforms, we finally got new competition unis my senior year and they added inches for my long torso and my skirt was perfect :cloud9: that was a good year.
so, for school spirit reasons I understand why the school required us to wear our uniforms weekly, but that could have just as easily been done with our warm-ups, tee shirts, polos, ect. After all, it is only warm enough for a skirt for the first 3 weeks of school here anyway. Once october hit we had matching leggings, sweats, warm-ups, gloves, scarves, and ear muffs for the games but still were required to wear the skirt to our fully air conditioned, freezing school. I almost wish is wasn't a requirement.
