We need specific skirts, shirts, and sweaters with the shcool logo. 3 shirts, 3 jumpers, and 2 sweaters cost me $275 per kid!!!

Each of my kids have 10+ shirts/skirts/pants because I'm not quick at getting through laundry. The uniform is very simple though and doesn't need to be purchased through a specific vendors, so I can often get things from childrens place, oshkosh or even target. Most of the pieces are $5/each.

3 skirts, 2-3 blouses, 1 sweater. Millions of pairs of knee socks we can never find matches to. We still do a uniform laundry load every night.

First grader 3 jumpers 4 shirts 2 sweaters.
I used to buy 5 shirts but the fifth stayed in its package and was never needed so this year I didn’t buy. Nothing gets reworn but I do laundry twice a week - sometimes takes longer to iron the shirts so I have one extra

4 jumpers
2 Button down shirts 2 polos (they can wear both)
1 sweater (expensive and she rarely wears it)

I started off with 2 jumpers in 1st grade and I was doing laundry almost every other day (and I had a newborn!) Changed it to 3 very quick. This yr the ones I bought came in packs of 2 so I got 2 packs and it's working out great! Her jumpers end up being dirty most days but her shirts she can often wear a second day.

Israeli Beis Yaakov, school shirt, skirts within the guidelines.
Three shirts, about 3-6 skirts.
The shirts need to last two days, the skirts don’t, but they prefer the cute ones or with good pleats.
An old or unironed shirt is often covered with a light sweater. Any navy sweaters are allowed in class.
Tights are the real problem, they never have enough and they get holes too fast.

I work FT, do uniform laundry 1x week. I have 4 girls in uniforms now. At age 12, my girls do their own laundry. Each girl has 5 skirts, 5 blue shirts, 1 white shirt, 2 sweatshirts. Each girl has 6 pr of their own uniform socks that look different than the other sisters.
This process took a few years to develop. We hand down skirts and sweatshirts, shirts get stained.

3 skirts (supposed to be worn twice each but always dirty)
1 school logo shirt (required but almost never worn)
1 school sweatshirt (also rarely worn)
5 uniform shirts from French Toast on sale

Uniform laundry gets done twice a week and always gets hung up to dry so it lasts longer.

I have a few girls and all I do is wash uniforms and never seem to have enough.

I have one kid in uniforms. I bought her three shirts, 3 skirts, and no sweaters (she lost the two that I bought last year, and I’m not paying $30 for her to lose another one)

So I knew that what we call jumper/cardigan = sweater in the US. I couldn't understand what all the jumpers here were referring to though until I googled it Confused

For my first grader. I wash every other day usually, but even when I forget I'll do a load at night and by morning they're dry. I work FT
