Dove uniforms are made of a polyester/cotton blended fabric The uniforms shouldn't shrink, although exposure to water (through laundering) may cause a small amount of tightening of fibers which seems like shrinkage. Our 100% cotton polo shirts DO shrink - about 5% (that's 2” around, for a Ladies' Medium, for instance).
Your school code is a unique code created for the program you are attending. The code will give you access to your school's customized web page, where you will find the exact items required by your school. You can find your code on the top of your order form. If you cannot find your school code, you can call us at 1-800-829-3683. For security purposes, we do not list the school codes on our website.

For students, Dove guarantees its Dove-branded uniforms for the duration of the program they are in. If you are dissatisfied with how yours has held up, we want a chance to make it right! Give us a call and we'll help you out.
