      Hi, I brought the dresses to a tailor to make the arm pit holes smaller. But due to the pocket, there was a limit to how much the alternation can be.. the tailor says too much alternation will cause the uniform to out of shape. I have not thought about holding and sewing the cloth at the shoulders. The school allows this?


      Thanks.

      Hi...if u haven’t figured this out already...this problem can be solved by folding in the cloth at the shoulders and sewing a line across, essentially a homemade alteration method. This method will shorten the overall length of the uniform a little bit.

      If you don’t want to shorten the length at all, another alteration method would be to pinch in the cloth at the bottom of the arm hole & sew it up there.

      Hope that helps.

        No reason why the school won’t allow it. The line at the shoulders is quite imperceptible if u know how to fold, sew and iron it.


        I used to do that for my own St Nicks pinafore.

                    Hi, wanted to check if anyone can share with me if the Sec 1 Malacca trip is mandatory and has the dates been fixed? As far as I know if, it’s end Feb/ early Mar before term 1 ends? I am not sure if I have missed any information… Thanks.

                      Hi Chujoe,


                      Yes it is compulsory and the girls have a blast! It’s a great bonding and defining experience for SCGS girls. Don’t worry the trip is not hardship at all.

                      You can email the Level Head for the dates. For the 2019 Sec 1 batch, they were split into two groups (different dates).

                        Hi doodbug,


                        Ok, I will check. I am actually not worried about hardships. I am keeping fingers crossed that the trip will not take place during the one week Mar school holidays..

                        Thanks for assuring that it is going to be a fun and worthwhile trip! 😊
