Other National Chain Store ~ Question Gymboree ~ Anyone know when the uniform sale ends?

I have to wait a few days for funds before I can buy and just wondered if anyone knew how long the current $10/$15 specials will last? TIA!

I don't know the answer to your question, but wanted to mention that I LOVED Gymborees polo shirts and jumpers for school uniforms last year. They held up really well. However, the khakis and skorts needed constant ironing to look presentable. What a pain. I really preferred the GapKids uniform shorts with GapShield. They were stain resistant and looked ironed straight from the dryer. Plus, I think the ones from last year are still on clearance and the website.

We took a lot of that feedback last year, so much of this year's uniform line is wrinkle-free. Yeah!!!

(As a complete aside, if you steam the clothes instead of iron them, they will stay more presentable and it's much less stressful on the fabric. I use the little Jiffy eSteam, about $65 on Amazon)

I bought the knit skorts last year and they didn't wrinkle, probably because they're knit.

But I figured this sale was a good time to buy, while sizes are still in stock! I just would like to know when that price will change so I can get them before they do. I have 3 kids in private school which equals a lot of uniforms.

I bought Old Navy last summer during their sale. I like their pants and their girls' shirts, but the boys shirts are awful! Weirdly huge around the tummy area making my son look like he's wearing a maternity shirt. But I am a LOOONG time Gymboree fan and would much prefer to get them there. I wonder why they don't have the hunter green shirts for girls?

So, anyone know about the sale end date?
