Gorgeous and glamorous

Yes, I recommend this

This is the first skirt of this style I have purchased. Fit and length are perfect for my height and size (6 foot and size 14). Great for work and although stylish and works very well with business wear for the office, it hangs and moves so well I feel glamorous like Bette Davis in those old movies. I wear skirts every day to the office and this is my absolute favourite.

Very stylish

Yes, I recommend this

Although this is quite a long skirt as some reviewers have commented, it is great with heels. The fabric is really heavy, falls nicely and fits well with some stretch.

checked fishtail midi skirt

Yes, I recommend this

Excellent material really warm for the winter. I really like the fish tail styling as very feminine and trendy for a long skirt. It also looks very smart with your black ribbed polo neck jumper. I am a size 8 and the cut of the waist was just a little on the large side otherwise it is great. Would like more similar to this!

My new favourite skirt..

Yes, I recommend this

I've been looking for this style of skirt for some time now so I was thrilled to find it in the Leeds store last weekend. The skirt is so elegant and is lovely quality, great for the winter. I'm 5'11" and it fits really well, definitely one for taller ladies though. Already received lovely compliments whilst wearing it. It's maybe a touch big on the hips as per the other reviews, though it means it doesn't gather up as some fitted styles do. Highly recommended from me.

Not for me

Yes, I recommend this

I liked everything about this skirt, good quality fabric which hung well, nicely finished etc. but sadly it just didn't suit me so has had to be returned, a great shame. Have given it good marks as it's a great skirt and on the right person will look stunning

Fabulous

Yes, I recommend this

Have been pondering whether to purchase this or if I even need another piece of clothing..... but I’m so glad I did. Being 5ft 7ins and size 14 this is super perfect with black fine M&S jumper, their black sling back shoes and tanned legs. Even better with 20% off! I imagine you’d need to be my height or taller. Might also get the black version of it too! This is a stunning skirt.... I’m reluctant to say too much as then everyone will want it!!!

My favourite new skirt

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful shape and style, love the material, pattern and fishtail. I usually wear a size 8, but I took a 10, as I actually think the skirt comes up a bit small. Also, I'd agree it's long, but not too long, like many have said... if you're genuinely 5ft 5'/6' +, and it is meant to be high wasted too. But M&S please consider that most of us aren't 6ft models! Only negatives, I'm not sure whether I like the black underneath ( not lined), which you can see from the front (as the back is longer), esp especially as you can see it on one side more than the other! One side of my skirt the seam is fine, until you move, and then you can see that it's not laying flat. My biggest problem is I had to order 4 of them. 2 arrived with pulls in the material, the 8 was bit tight, but all the 10's have can be up differently size wise!!....M&S please sort this problem out!

Lovely skirt.

Yes, I recommend this

I was very pleased to see that this skirt was very good value for money. The fabric was excellent, but although it fitted ok, I felt I was going to be uncomfortable wearing it as it fitted where it touched, though it did not highlight any lumps and bumps; but it was just not my style. I would certainly encourage the ladies to give it a try!

Extremely elegant

No, I don't recommend this

I was very attracted to this skirt for its style, however the seam attached to the mermaids style was level with my knees which was very uncomfortable something definitely needs doing about it as it ruins a nice skirt

Very pleased with this skirt, ultra feminine. And as someone who is 5ft 10 - LOVE the length. The skirt looks tailored but is true to size and the heavy but stretch material is forgiving.
