Lands' EndBig Girls Plus School Uniform Short Sleeve Mesh Polo Dress at the Knee

I hope my child school change it’s vendor.

Poor quality. After 4 washes, color faded so bad. No matter how gentle you handwash it, even with the use of gentle detergent soap.

Nice, but watch out for shrinking!

I agree with others that the dress shrinks considerably, which was really disappointing, but I just plan to buy a bigger size because my daughter does like it.

Shrinks, buy bigger size

Shrinks after first wash, very disappointing

Good fit, poor design choice

Purchased size 4 in Evergreen for 35 pounds/40" (intentionally oversized due to fit preferences). The sizing is accurate. The only reason these still look nice is because my child doesn't wear them as often as the other uniforms options. The fabric will eventually tear at the pleats, it is far too thin and there is no reinforcement at the stress points. The fabric itself is not bad- the weight of the skirt and pleats is just not appropriate for this type and weight of fabric. A gathered skirt would have been a much better option for this material. I have already stitched up holes at the pleats on a used uniform. If you want to get a lot of wear from this dress, iron on interfacing could go a long way to prevent holes and tearing, but it may alter the shape of the pleats. The backing on the embroidered logo is scratchy and does not lay flat without ironing- my child only wears this with an undershirt. The fabric stains easily and requires stain treatment after almost every wear. The serging on the bottom hem is coming undone after two months of infrequent wear. I would recommend hanging these to dry on an appropriately sized felt hanger, finger pressing the collars and sleeves in place. This has prevented a lot of ironing for me and no shrinkage in length. If you live in a cold climate, I would not recommend this as a staple of your school wardrobe. It simply is not warm enough for cold winters, even with layering.

HOLES and horrible quality

Developed hole on first day of use on one and within two weeks on second one. JUNK quality. Loose fit isn’t flattering- just looks too big. I hate that my daughter insists on dresses for her uniform and this overpriced junk pieces is the only one available. The only good thing here is a 90 return window to return for holes.

Develops holes very quickly. Even after a careful washing, they appear along the pleat line.

Poor quality, inaccurate sizing

If I could give a zero star review I would. The same dress, same size, different colors are grossly different. This has happened with other items as well. Also, the quality seems poor. Lands’ End shopper but first time school uniform buyer and would not again.

Expensive, but develops holes quickly

I've purchased a dozen or so of these in navy and green as required by our school as uniforms. Unfortunately, they quickly develop holes in the seams of the pleats. Land's End please use better quality materials and reinforce the seams.
