I loved this skirt, possibly more than my daughter. we bought a few skirts with this similar design, but this one was my favorite. It lasted for two years before she grew out of it, and it was incredibly easy to get the near daily stains out of it. Why is it impossible for an 11 year old to wear a skirt for 7 hours and come home without any stains!?!?  Seriously! I'm wondering if she even eats her lunch at school or if she just sets it in her lap then stands up and watches it slide down the fabric!  All in all, I'll definitely be buying more of these for next year's uniform. They were a major staple in her wardrobe.
