Good all round year wear

Yes, I recommend this

This is a lovely A-lined skirt with a decent elasticated waist and very comfortable to wear. I think it can be worn through Spring/Summer with sandals, then Autumn/Winter with boots and look good on all occasions.

Gorgeous skirt!

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous skirt. I'm 5ft4" and settled on the 10 short. 8 reg was a little long, 8 short was a little snug around the waist. It's giving me 70s vibes which I love!

Lovely skirt

Yes, I recommend this

Very pleased with this skirt: lovely cotton which doesn’t need ironing; colours which go with a lot of tops; perfect Midaxi length - I am 5’ 8”. Can be worn with summer tops and tee shirts now but will be good with long sleeved sweaters and cardigans in the autumn.

A lovely lightweight skirt for end of summer. Lovely pattern in a neutral colour. I bought a smaller size and longer length and it fits well. Looking forward to wearing it a lot.

So good!

No, I don't recommend this

I did not realise how good this skirt is when I was buying it. Goes with virtually everything in my summer wardrobe and looks wonderful. With height 5’6” I bought UK12 tall and it is beautifully light but sumptuous and chic.

Easy Summer Skirt

Yes, I recommend this

I liked the look of this skirt and it’s easy to wear but I think the price is top heavy given that it’s unlined, has no pockets and an elasticated waist. That said it’s cool to wear and matches nicely with black or beige and my usual size fits well so I’ve decided to keep it.

Basic summer skirt

Good lightweight summer skirt. Pockets would be a good addition. I like the skirt but slightly overpriced for what it is.

Fab summer skirt!

Yes, I recommend this

Great lightweight skirt for warm summer days. Looks great with a white or black t-shirt. I’d say that it’s true to size. It does have a drawstring and elastic waistband for your comfort.

A lovely skirt for the summer.

Yes, I recommend this

I bought petite size 12. I am 5ft 1in and I found the length here perfect, just above my ankle. The shape is a bit less of an A-line than I was expecting but nevertheless it works very well: light, airy and with enough but not too much volume. I have washed it and found that it really doesn't need ironing. The colour is summer light and goes well with other things.

I always like a longer length in skirts, and this was the perfect skirt for that. The fit and fabric are quality. I look forward to wearing it.
