Fishman_Tobin_UniformsShopping for school uniforms can be as difficult as assembling the pieces of any other back-to-school wardrobe, but at least one retailer has taken the stress out of back-to-school shopping by making uniforms available online. So, you can shop 24/7 and never worry about rounding up the kids for a trip to the mall.

Dillard’s is among the nation’s largest fashion apparel and home furnishings retailers and offers a broad selection of both national and exclusive brands. The retailer has set up a separate Web site – www.dillards.com/school – where you’ll find uniforms in every style and all the accessories to go with them. The uniforms and accessories are also available at Dillard’s 330 stores nationwide.

School uniforms are a growing trend nationwide. Experts say they can become symbols of school pride and remove the messages of social and economic status in schools where some children can afford the trendiest clothes and others cannot. Furthermore, kids who wear conservative clothes to class seem better prepared to take schoolwork seriously.

Kids shopping Dillard’s Web site will find jumpers, skirts, twill pants and cardigan sweaters for girls and twill pants and shorts and button-down shirts for boys. There are also long- and short-sleeved polo shirts for both boys and girls. Sizes for boys sizes range from 2T to 34 Husky. Girls’ sizes range from small to plus sizes.

To celebrate the opening of its school uniforms Web site, Dillard’s will send one lucky family to the Disney Resort closest to their home. The grand prize in the Disney Family Vacation Sweepstakes includes four round-trip economy airline tickets, accommodations for three nights at a Disney Resort Hotel for the winner and three guests, ground transfers to and from the airport and four three-day/two-park tickets for admission to Disney Theme Parks.
