Product Information
Full details
The Boden Pleated Skort is designed for active children who need a combination of style and freedom of movement for daily play. It offers the aesthetic appeal of a skirt with the functional security of integrated shorts, making it perfect for running, jumping, and cartwheeling. While it is made from durable cotton and is machine-washable, it is important to note that the garment requires standard cotton care to maintain its shape and pleat definition over time.

FAQs
Is this skort suitable for school uniforms?
The blue design is classic and understated, making it a potentially excellent choice for school uniforms depending on your institution's dress code policy.
What age group is size 9 intended for?
Size 9 generally corresponds to children in the 8-9 year age range, though we recommend checking the waist adjustment for the best fit.
Does the material have any stretch?
The skort is made from cotton, which is soft and comfortable but typically does not have significant stretch; the adjustable waist helps with the overall fit.
Can I tumble dry this product?
We recommend air-drying to maintain the shape of the pleats, but it can be tumble dried on a very low heat setting if necessary.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
To keep the blue color vibrant, we suggest washing the garment inside out and avoiding harsh bleaching agents.
Troubleshooting
The waist is too loose even with the drawstring
Ensure the drawstring is pulled evenly on both sides and tied securely; consider using a small safety pin or toggle if the string slips.
Pleats losing their definition
After washing, gently smooth the pleats while the fabric is slightly damp and hang to dry; a light steam or low-heat iron can restore the crisp folds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Boden Pleated Skort, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wash in a standard machine cycle using cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage of the cotton fibers.
- Drying: Air-drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the pleats and fabric structure. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Storage: Hang the skort on a clip hanger to keep the pleats aligned and minimize wrinkling between wears.
- Compatibility: This item follows standard UK children's sizing. If in doubt regarding the fit, utilize the internal drawstring to cinch the waist rather than sizing down significantly.
