Can someone advise if the zip/button should be at the front or back of the culotte? Hope my question does not seem stupid. It'll be easier to wear the culotte with the button in front, right? :oops: :oops:

Definately behind

How about the shoes? I heard shoes with a white base is good enough. How much colour on the shoes are you allowed to have? Thank you thank you :salute:

The shoe shouls be 80% white. Just returned from the CCA briefing and it is not necesasry to wear school sock, white will do.

:lol: :lol: I advised her to wear it with the button in front for today's CCA orientation but noticed some of the girls wore it with the button at the back.
Don't your daughter find it difficult to button & unbutton especially when the material is quite thick?

My daughter is telling me that it is difficult to button from the back & troublesome going to the toilet too - so I understand what you mean. I have cut the button hole alittle bigger and she is fine with it after that.

haha… yes the culotte is very difficult to button. My daughter told me that some of her friends still need help to buttonup the culotte after one semester.

It's behind. I intend to replace the button with a hook. Easier for her to hook than to button from behind.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I will do that as well.

ha ha..that's what my son suggested! :lol: He said I should sew the button on the button hole to make it seem as though it's buttoned. (just to comply with the original design) Then sew a hook on the underside and use that instead.

I think it's not necessary. If I'm not wrong, the girls wear their PE T-shirts untucked so no one can see the button anyway.
