UNIFORM CARE

  1. It is expected that uniforms are to be kept neat and clean throughout the season.

  2. The uniforms (jackets and jumpsuits) are NOT washable. They MUST be dry cleaned. Do not dry clean or wash the detachable sequins.

  3. The raincoats are machine washable and should not be dry cleaned.

  4. Each student will be given a garment bag for uniform protection. Store the uniform in the garment bag at all times if not being worn. Open the garment bag zipper when you are home to allow the uniform to air out.

  5. Occasional sewing of snaps may be necessary.

  6. If alterations (hemming of sleeves or pants) are necessary, DO NOT cut any fabric. No permanent alterations should be made to the uniforms.
