Pleated Skirts for Teenage Girls
A teenage girl's pleated skirt works for more of the week than you might expect: with a jumper and tights on colder days, and with a T-shirt and trainers at the weekend. Pleats give movement without extra bulk at the waist. The sizes here run for ages 8 to 15; for younger sizes, see the main Pleated Skirts page.
Length matters more as girls grow, so buy by height. A girls' pleated skirt for age 9 is usually 140 cm, and for age 10 it is 146 cm. Pleats stay crisp if you hang the skirt straight after washing and press along the fold lines through a cloth. Tights or leggings underneath make it wearable from October through to spring.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells pleated skirts for teenage girls aged 8 to 15, sized by height in centimetres, where a girls' pleated skirt for age 12 is usually 158 cm, to wear with tights, jumpers or trainers.
Which size girls' pleated skirt fits at age 11 if she is slim?
Go by height first: at age 11 she usually takes 152 cm. If the waist is loose, check the product page for an adjustable waistband before sizing down, as the smaller size will also be shorter.
What length pleated skirt suits a 14-year-old?
Just above the knee is the most practical length for everyday wear. At 14 she usually takes 170 cm; hold the skirt against her to check it sits where she wants before removing the tags.
