I had one god awful and one lovely uniform. 1st one was brown skirt, brown jumper and cream open neck shirt. Bllleuuchh. 2nd one was nice, royal blue skirt, darker blue jumper pale blue shirt, blue and yellow tie, and I much preferred the striped blazer to the awful blue gabardine coat.
Just after we left they got rid of the bum skimming PE kit for a more sensible tracksuit..:)0 -

Teaching now I can see why they were long, most girls in the school I work in spend their time rolling up the waistbands of their skirts to make them as short as possible. It doesn't leave much to the imagination and has led to one or two boys trying to take photos of girls while walking up the stairs in the school.
It's not possible to make an ankle length pleated skirt look anyway slutty! Much warmer in winter too!
having said that Presentation, Limerick had a horrendous brown tartan skirt. Don't know if they still have that uniform
I had to pop into this thread to see if my alma mater made the list - yay! ;-)
I never really noticed long skirt-length being specific to Limerick, I have to say. Most of us wore them long, but I did start rolling it up a bit in 5th year to show off the ankles
I think we were advised to buy long to allow for growth spurts, so you'd get more wear out of it :-)
I had to wear the brown tartan skirt, for my sins, but they introduced in a navy blue uniform in 1992.:)
Now, the Laurel Hill uniform - they had white socks for the Gaelscoil and purple for the C school. And of course the Gaelscoil daltaí made damn sure their white socks were pulled up at all times! 0 -

I can't stand mine, but it doesn't seem too bad compared to others.
Junior uniform is maroon jumper and skirt and fawn (awful colour) shirt. Used to have a maroon tie but they got rid of it when I was in second year. White or fawn socks.
Senior uniform is blue jumper and skirt and blue and white stripey shirt. No tie. Grey or white socks.
Utterly useless at keeping in and letting out heat. I go around freezing for most of the year, even though I wear a long sleeved top and 3/4 length leggins tucked into my socks. Still so cold
I hate the awful quality of the uniform. They fall apart after a year and a half and very few people make them last the three years. They also look really awful second hand. Nothing against second hand clothes, half my uniform is second hand, but it's falling apart and there is no way it'll last until I'm in sixth year.
I don't understand floor lenth skirts. They look awful and I can't imagine them being in anyway clean. The seem to drag off the floor and I'd hate that in wet weather. How to they stop the wet from travelling up.0 -

woop!
i agree my school has the best uniform! :P
I still say it would look better if worn properly instead of all of you trying to hide your ties down below the v-necks. It should be quite easy to fix - tell everybody to tidy up or they are going to bring back the blazer and gaberdine! In fact Maryfield must be one of the few all-girls schools that still have ties in Dublin, I cant think of any other one now off the top of my head! 0 -

we had chocolate brown skirt, chocolate brown jumper and a yellow/cream shirt - OMG it was absolutely ugly.
As a parent, I have to say I prefer the long Limerick type skirts that the ultra short minis in Ennis. There are few enough girls who actually look good in the short skirts (even knee length ones). The long ones are seen as a right of passage in Limerick from what I can work out from nieces. You can get short ones, and the schools (some of them anyway) don't insist on the long ones - the girls just prefer them. Worn with decks usually.
Do people really expect uniforms to last for 3 years - its something you wear 5 days a week for about 8 hours a day. You wouldn't expect to get that much wear out of any other piece of clothing surely.
I suppose for things like shirts and jumpers, they'd have to be replaced when the cuffs/collars start to unfray. But luckily for my mother, I stopped growing when I was about 14 so I was able to wear the same skirt and blazer (and tie, but that hardly counts!) for the five years, notwithstanding a few hem changes. 0 -
