Pleated Skirts for Girls, Ages 2 to 8
Pleated skirts for girls aged 2 to 8 take her from nursery and Reception through the first years of primary school. Pleats give the skirt room to move, so it swings when she runs and still looks neat once she settles down. In autumn and winter, pair one with thick tights and a jumper. When it warms up, a T-shirt and bare legs will do. Check each product page for the fabric and colour details.
Each skirt is sized by height in centimetres. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. If she is between sizes or close to a birthday, go up one so the skirt lasts longer. Pleats stay crisper if you hang the skirt up as soon as the wash finishes. Follow the care label for temperature and drying. For older sizes, see Teens.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's Pleated Skirts collection for girls aged 2 to 8 contains pleated skirts to wear with tights or bare legs, in height-based centimetre sizes, and a 6-year-old girl usually takes 122 cm.
What size pleated skirt should I buy for a 5-year-old?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. If she is tall for her age or close to turning 6, 122 cm will give more wear. Measure her height without shoes and compare it with the size on the product page.
How do I keep the pleats in a child's skirt sharp after washing?
Hang it up straight after the wash and press the pleats into place by hand while it is still damp. Try to do this within 10 minutes of the cycle ending, before creases set. Wash and dry it as the care label says.
