Uniform Fetishists Under Threat
Private Life and Play, Scenology — By Adele on 1 March, 2007 8:38 pmI was alarmed to read that posh schools in England are being encouraged to get rid of their exciting specialised uniforms in favour of the generic uniforms you can buy for next to nothing on the high street.
It’s hard to disagree that there is any sense in paying 200 pounds to kit out a 12-year-old, who will promptly grow out of that beautiful blazer with a crest, pure-wool skirt and thick socks with a stripe in school’s colours around the top. Back-door means selection, blah-blah-blah.
It’s also quite amusing to listen to schools argue about preserving their individuality. Uniforms and individuality in the same breath? Oh, please.
Spare a thought for us uniform fetishists, though. If I have to buy all my uniforms from Asda for the rest of my life, I might as well start learning to sew. (And six years of home economy lessons haven’t got me there, so I really don’t want to try again.)
Yes, my basic school kit comes from the supermarket: white panties and ankle socks, and a few of my skirts, too.
However, there’s nothing like a uniform that comes from a proper school stockist to gladden my thoroughly perverted heart. It’s such a joy to go to, say, John Lewis in a town new for you to discover the colours local schools use, and get, say, a fantastic yellow-and-purple striped blazer, or a set of hair ribbons to match the socks and the skirt.
Also, bear in mind that crappy little skirts from your supermarket next door wear out before you can get a few dozen spankings. There’s a reason they’re cheap. They’re made for pennies from the sort of synthetics that electrocute your top every time he tries to flip them up. A real schoolgirl may not wear out her skirt before she grows out of it, but I’ve stopped growing a long while ago, and these flimsy cheapo clothes just don’t last.
Please don’t ban interesting uniforms. Please.
Happily, even if this scary trend turns into a law, it won’t go beyond the English borders, so I can still spend millions I don’t have on the breathtaking garments from Messeers Aitken and Niven.

Yes, I agree.
Uniforms and individuality definitely add to the ritual of spanking.
Try buying your uniforms from http://www.oldschoolyard.co.uk/
They have adult sizes and it is the real McCoy regarding qulaity of materilas etc. We found them very helpful and provided some great uniforms for my wife for our site.
“electrocute”?….I’m shocked Adele…
When I were a lad, there was a noticable second hand trade in uniform, usually managed by the school, If I recall correctly. There used also to be such things as uniform grants. It was never obvious to me who was wearing new and who was wearing second hand uniform. I’m sure most of woudn’t even have noticed who was wearing a new bit of uniform bought to fit them, I didn’t*.
The £2 stuff from Asda is faily obvious though, even without its tendency to electrocute the kind teacher who is trying to educate you.
It’s bad news for those of us who like to see a nice uniform, and without any basis in reality.

*except for the fact that in the last year the skirts got quite short, as I expect the parents didn’t see the point in buying more uniform when their daughter would only wear it for a couple more months or so.
The loss of specialized uniforms in favor of generic? What a terrible idea!
In the States too it seems that many schools are opting for the plain navy blue or khaki uniforms rather than the official school plaids.
Worse yet in my opinion is that many uniform distribution companies are offering mainly skorts or modified shorts instead of skirts for girls in higher grades. I guess they are doing it as a way to impose modesty on leggy students, but it spoils the flip-up-and-spank fun of a school uniform skirt.
White panties from the supermarket? Clearly you haven’t yet sampled the wares of the Regulation Clothing Company (Google it). All the proper colours – navy, green, maroon – and adult sizes.
I love the Aitken and Niven site! Not too many scools requiring gym knickers now though. What a shame!
Love A&N — I swear I’ve spent more time there then in any other 4 stores in the UK. Their summer sale where they sold off discontinued / changed uniforms was such fun! And the website just gets better and better.
I had two thoughts about the story. First was to agree with the points about it being a “back door” expense. I went to a girl’s school with a rather expensive uniform, especially when the cost of gym and summer uniforms were factored in, and it *was* a real hardship for some families, especially ones with muliple children in the school. And we were snots enough to know exactly who did and didn’t get new ones each term. On the other hand, even at its most expensive, our uniforms didn’t touch the amount spent by parents in schools without uniforms.
My kink thought though is that this would be a true tragedy. At least in the long term. In the short term it would be a boon though as uniform shops sold off the dead stock fancy uniforms for practically nothing. ::swoon:: My two favorite things, uniforms and sales shopping!
