UPDATE *** Very pleased to announce all items have been SOLD in one lot to a student starting Year 9 ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second-hand Wellington East Girls College uniform for sale - $250 for THE ENTIRE LOT - would cost over $1,000 to buy new!

We’re paying this incredible bargain forward to assist a student starting at WEGC. This uniform has been sitting unused since we bought it from a very kind family last year when our daughter was struggling to choose between WEGC & WHS. She has opted for High 🙂

In great condition (used for two years by one careful owner), this would suit a slim girl:
- Blazer size 12 (AS NEW pockets still sewn shut, only worn a few times)
- long sleeve jumper size S
- sleeveless jumper size S
- skirt size 10
- raincoat size 12 XLong
- scarf
- tie
- PE shirts: 2x size 12; 1x size 14
- PE shorts: 1x size 12; 1x size S
- long sleeve white shirts: 2x size 12
- short sleeve white shirts: 4x size 12 (one brand new still in packet)

Prefer to sell as a bundle - not individual items. Send me a pm if you’re interested 😊 We live in Island Bay. Welcome to try on

Price: $250
