Uniforms in the UK
What is it with those dresses that come to mid calf? And the pleats? Every time I am in the UK I see so many women wearing pleated polyester dresses/uniforms. Have they been phased out yet?

I love looking at airline uniforms. There is a thread somewhere in here on airline uniforms.
I think the 'not so nicest' uniform I have seen is Air New Zealand. They have those horrible mid calf skirts, but also have a 'not so nice' pattern on them.
But still, I would not decide against joining an airline because of a uniform!

Stock Uniforms
I agree, all the uniforms over here look the same....most come from a company called Cintax...they are junk. For the most part US airlines are not very creative when it comes to uniforms. I guess I just worded my initial post poorly. Are those pleated dresses a popular style for the female crews? It seems in the EU and elsewhere the company inflight departments are more on the maintenance of the uniform. Out of the US f/a's I see so many wearing a skirt or dress that is way too short, or tight.
I certainly did not mean to offened anyone....

I dont think you have offended anyone at all. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and of course uniform is always something that is mentioned amongst crew.
I would say that the more 'outdated' uniforms are due to cost cutting or something. Which is fair enough, I guess we would all rather have a full time job in a average uniform, than be worried about where our next pay is coming from if we were dressed in Chanel!

Uniforms
it i sn't about designer uniforms...it is just those dresses with the pleated skirts that come to mid calf. They seem matronly....I took another look at the uniform freak website and see that other countries have gone for that look also. Hey, maybe the US is missing out on a new trend!
