[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 298735, member: 1991"] Yep. Wool. I had that as part of my ghastly uniform also. And it HAD to be wool, which itched. So you wore long sleeves under it (or a spencer). At least we could take our jumpers off if we were hot. But we had to change form summer uniform to winter (and back again) on specified dates, regardless of the weather. And now, uniforms at the local school are only just being dragged into the more sensible versions of stretch fabrics and harder-wearing trousers. But in cold weather we still see the horrible sight of little girls wearing the blue plaid cotton dress OVER a blue tracksuit, the skirt of the cotton dress hanging down over long tracksuit pants and the track jumper over the top of the dress. It looks awful. The only good thing is that if the day gets warmer (as our days are at the moment) then the girl can take off t he track pants and just trot around in the dress only (with or without the jumper). Trish, did you keep your old felt hat from winter? I kept mine and in the 70s got into the hippie embroidery, I have my hippie hat now. I had to have that school hat blocked so it was as stiff as cardboard. It tooks me weeks to beat the living daylights out of it (very therapeutic) to make it soft and fashionable, so I could begin sewing elves, rainbows and mushrooms onto it. At one point I had it folded and pegged, submerged in a bucket of water. Trish, sounds like you went to one of the private schools in Perth. And with the sun hours there! I can fully understand why they fight daylight saving in WA. It's already almost permanently daylight saving there. In that overheated uniform you would have been coming home from school at the hottest part of the day, a lot of the time. Nasty... Marg [/QUOTE]
