What is the difference between Sailor Fuku and Seifuku? The page's example has examples of Sailor Fuku, but the protagonist of The Machine Girl is stated to be wearing a Seifuku. Can someone put the two side-by-side for clarification?

Seifuku is Japanese for a school uniform as it literally translates as "school clothes". while Sailor Fuku as the name would suggest is a sailor dress. Although yeah this page has a serious problem in not distinguishing between a sailor uniform and other school uniforms

I honestly feel like some of these examples don't count, such as K-on! and Evenagelion ,but that's only scratching the surface, do not count at all since they are more Western uniforms and don't even resemble sailor uniforms

Not sure if this counts as an example, since it predates anime itself by several years, but here goes. In the Disney short 'All the Cats Join In', there's a quick shot of a "square" girl who's passed on by the cool cats. She's wearing an older version of a sailor fuku, big thick glasses and a straw hat...and looks like she could have stepped right out of an anime from The '80s or The '90s.
