So cute... but what''s with that strange drawstring in the waist PLUS a zipper and snaps?
I just love this cute pinwale cord ... wasn't certain it would fit since I have a little junk in the trunk but it did! I have come to wearing skirts late in life (60 years old) and could not wait for it to go on sale so I bought it anyway. I love everything about it EXCEPT.... it has a very strange inner drawstring in the waist. If it was only the drawstring to cinch it up that would have been fine. But it also has a zipper and snaps so if you tighten the drawstring it tends to have a big gap at the waist in the front. Not the best look. Because it runs large in the waist I will probably have it taken in.And remove that pesky drawstring.




Flattering, fun ...
I am 5' 8'', so I originally ordered the regular length, wanting it to hit my leg right above the knee, like it does on the display models. It may have been how I was wearing it (I like to wear skirts lower on my hips), but the regular length was right at and a little below my knees. I returned it for the petite length and the length was perfect and not TOO short to be conservative. The ... fits well in the hips and is even flattering in the back! The bottom flares a bit for a fun look. I love it in plum and will buy more in other colors.




Love the ...
I am 5'8' weight 150, after reading the reviews I went with the size 8. I find with Athleta I usually run a size 10, because I like my skirts to sit a little lower on my hips, instead of around my waist. In an 8 this ... fit perfectly. I wear this ... work, and out on the town, just by changing my shirt can dress the ... up, or have a cassual look. I like the wheat color, because it goes with everything. I definately recommend as a staple for your closet.




cute
This ... so soft and cute! I am hourglass shaped and usually order a 6 in skirts and 8 in pants. I tried 8 and it did stretch out a bit throughout the day. Am going to order the 6 as well. This ... nips in at the waist nicely and is very flattering on my hips and bottom. So cute with flats and boots.




I am getting another!
Love this ... do most items I have bought from Athleta.com. I got compliments on it the first day I wore it. The drawstring waist tie is one of the best features of Athleta.com's pants and skirts. I am going to get the blue one next.



Great ...
I now own two of these skirts. One in a dark green color and now in this light stone color. I love the length and fit. If I had to change anything I'd like them better if they would sit lower on my waist though.



Very cute ...
Though the rise is high on this ... wears well and is comfortable. The straighter you are, the better this ... fit - if you're quite hippy, it will probably not look quite right (the seams don't flare out until below hips). Overall, I'm happy with this ... but based on the fit, I'm not ready to purchase it or any other "whenever" skirts or skorts.



Love it!
I am a teacher, so, when shopping for clothes, I need something I can wear comfortably, throw in the washer without much thought, and can wear to church on Sundays. These skirts hit the mark in all areas. I can dress them up or down. They are neither too long, nor too short. If I could change one thing it would be to make them lined on the inside, so they don't crawl up when walking at a fast pace. Other than that, they are super!!!



I like it!
I just received this ... yesterday and it looks great! The flare highlights your rear end and does not make you look large. The ... comes down from the hips like a typical a line and then has the flare about mid thigh or just slightly higher. It is a ... states in the description, not a skort as so many have been confused by...I knew it was a ... fabric feels fine, is thick and I can't wait to wear it this fall! I got the Tampenade color and it is a dark olive color, not brown. I am 5'8'' and I got the size 12 tall because most skirts are like minis on me...the tall falls to the top of my knee.


Just didn''t like the style
I like these fine, soft corduroy skirts and was hoping this and the Cordoba ... would work for me, but neither looked very good. I just didn't like how they puffed out. Side profile looked like I had 10 extra pounds on. So I had to return it. I got the Small and I'm 5 foot 5 and about 115-120 lbs. It fit fine in the waist, it just didn't look good from a side profile. I wish the snaps would lay flatter too, because on the side profile they kind of stick out a bit. Sadly, it is going back.


Just Okay
I LOVE my summer weight Whatever skorts. I have 2 pr. I've been waiting for the cord version to go on sale, so when it did, I jumped on it. However, the material isn't heavy enough to hold the ... down in the normal folds (?). It just looks a little odd. The material is stretchy enough that it exaggerates my tummy bulge, then fits tight in the hips, then flares wide like bellbottoms just above my knees. I'm a pretty average size (5'4/140 lbs) and wear a size 4/6 in Athleta bottoms/skirts, so I'm not super curvy OR straight hipped. I did notice the model in the picture has no hips, and the ... looks great on her. :) I kept the ... just because I've been wanting iit for so long. If worn w/ longer shirts or sweaters over top, it's fine.
