Embroidered A-Line Skirt

I bought this yesterday on holiday and wore it last night. No I wasn't really shopping ( ahem ) as I was just popping in for a cappuccino and the sale never entered my head but I saw this next to the elevator and I swear a cat would have been proud of the pounce... I wore it last night with a black vest and bikers jacket and my husband really liked it and said I looked very ladylike... as I'm under 5ft, it's more a longline on me and looked great with my short boots and black tights. I haven't really took to the mid length so lucky me, it was in the sale and its a floaty length. It's excellent quality and the flowers have no loose thread on them as I was sitting most of the night and had a bag on my lap. The gathered waist was great idea, especially last night...

I loved this skirt online and imagined it would be suitable with the matching top for a summer wedding. I was really disappointed when I tried it on. I am slim and 5' 4" but I think to carry off this look you would need to be over 5' 8". The skirt came almost down to my ankles and made me look short and frumpy. With the matching top on it looked even worse. I so liked the on line pictures but unfortunately it was not for me and I returned it. It is well made and the embroidery is lovely .

This skirt is well made and fits lovely I love the design and the feel when walking or sitting down. I am a size 14 and this was true to size for me and a very nice length well worth the money.

Absolutely beautiful but my one complaint is that the underskirt is too short and requires a much longer half slip otherwise it can be seen through on a sunny day.

After Two exchanges I finally liked the fit. Pity about being pull on but I can live with it. Will be wearing with matching top at my May wedding, material pretty and outfit comfortable, no bulges showing. It can be accessoried with numerous colours, I am looking forward to wearing it.

The size 10 skirt and also the size 10 top were both a better fit for me than the size 12. The gathered waistband is still not the most flattering as the fabric is on the stiff side and it looks a little bulky. I am still handy with a needle so may alter it and take out some of the fabric.

Once again I thought it looked good on line but when I tried it on it did not suit me.

I was really looking forward to this skirt. It was a nice length and the embroidery looked really pretty in the photo. However, the skirt had an elastic waist band, not good, and was quite loose. Also, the colours chosen for the embroidery were very strident, not at all subtle as the photo had intimated. I was very disappointed it could have been so much better.

I was surprised that this skirt has an elasticated waist. It fits well though and is very pretty. I would have preferred it to have been a little shorter. The embroidered over skirt is A bit too long. The lining is about the right length overall. I have kept the skirt, I chose not to send for the matching blouse , it made the outfit a little too expensive . It is feminine and I will though need to search for an appropriate top to finish the outfit.

After reading other reviews, I bought size smaller - sz 8 when I'm usually 10 - and it fits perfectly if not still a bit large around the waist. I'm only 5'2" and as you can imagine it becomes a maxi skirt for me. Having said that it works as long skirt, at least I like it so all good. If you want midi length and are short person like me, you'd be disappointed because M&S seems to think average height in women is 6' these days.
