Better Than Basic Straight Skirt  (For Women)
 
Casual, modest staple

Wrinkles Easily

Athletic, Bargain Shopper, Casual
Fit:
Feels too small
Length:
Feels true to length
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The skirt is a casual piece that is nice for weekends and hanging out. I bought the kakhi/beige color, which is a neutral, all-purpose color. It's a nice, modest length (ie, not too short) but it's not so long that it gets in the way of walking. I like that the skirt has 2 side pockets for small things like keys or a wallet. The skirt's construction is of a mid-weight cotton. It does wrinkle easily (if I've been sitting for a while, it will have wrinkles on the front when I get up) and is a little tight around the hips. The cut is a straight cut so, though figure flattering, that's not ammenible to climbing into a car.

This is a great jacket. It feels very comfortable and is great to wear to work. I love the color and the feel of the material. I usually wear a 10/12 and ordered a large and it is too big.
