For those who have/have had children in schools which use uniforms, do you
have any suggestions on how and what to buy? DD will be required to actually
wear the full school uniform for parochial school K in the fall (instead of
the "clothing that adheres to the dress code" that pre-K is allowed), and
I'm considering going ahead and buying a few pieces at a time, a size up,
since I KNOW what the uniform policy is and it's unlikely to change (I think
there would be a rebellion, given the number of hand me down loops and
multi-child families which already exist).

How much washing do you do? My kids all have uniforms, and I try to
arrange things so that I wash them at the weekend.

The basic uniform is white t-shirt/shirt, grey trousers/skirt and a
sweatshirt. With the white shirts, they get a clean one each day, so I
tend to have five or six (they are often sold in packs of two over
here). They each have two skirts/trousers, and two sweatshirts.

Oh, and they have about a billion pairs of socks each. But they still
seem impossible to find when we are getting out the uniform.
