Advice for talls
I am 5' 11" and have purchased 3 of these skorts over time, 2 in 12 ... 1 in 12 Regular. The 12 Talls were actually 24" long, not the 22" I was expecting. Fortunately, the fabric was easy to work with, making shortening the ... simple task. The 12 Regular was good in length (21.5") but it ran smaller in the waste and hips than the 12 ... - about 1" smaller in the waste and 1 1/2" smaller in the hips. I bought them for golf but wear them everywhere. They wash beautifully and are pretty much wrinkle free if you hang dry. You can press them - a low setting took out any hint of wrinkles. Best of all, they have been especially comfortable in the 100 degree temps we've been suffering this summer. Two of my friends have also purchased this ... We have very different body types and sizes and this ... flattering on all of us.
LOVE this ... Soooo soft & lightweight, perfect anywhere!!
I've never tried any kind of ... before and after trying this WHATEVER ... am hooked. I LOVE it! Its so silky soft & lightweight & breezy, yet durable & water shedding. I love the coverage of the lil shorts underneath, not bulky AT ALL and not tight either. This ... easily ... up for work or dinner, or ... down for doing chores, active anything -- super versatile. Amazingly comfy fits at waist and flare out just enough to look sweet & not cling at all. I debated on sizes but ordered 8 PETITE. I normally wear size 7 or 8 dresses; medium sizes; curvy 128 lbs, 5'3, and LOVE IT - hits about an inch above my knees and sooo happy I chose the Petite length! Waist is a tiny bit loose, which I would much prefer rather than a too tight size 6. Hope this helps with anyone debating on sizes!
Awesome ...
I absolutely love this ... bought it in the shadow purple color, but I'm very tempted to buy it in other colors as well. I have already worn this several times this summer and have received compliments each time. In fact, I think I convinced some friends to purchase it, too! The material is very comfortable. The length is a touch long on me (I'm only 5'2"), but works perfectly for playing with the kids on the floor, outside, or even riding bikes. I also love it as it dresses up a casual outfit so I can wear it out to dinner or a movie. I'm 108 lbs. and the size 0 fits perfectly even though my hips are much wider than my waist. The waist band fits just right (although it has a hidden inside drawstring just in case), and the flare of the skirt conceals the difference in the size of my hips.
Hoorah for length!
Love, love, love the length of this ... fabric really does dry quickly; the cut is flattering and fun. I'm 5'6" and ordered a ... so it would hit just below the knee-- it's perfect. I have a very narrow waist and rather wide hips, causing some gapping in the fabric in waist band above my rear end, but it's better than most other skirts. Low to medium curved women should have a very smooth fit, I think. I'll be wearing my new ... every day this summer- in the ocean or out of it!
A MUST for a MOM!
I have twin toddlers and hate shorts. Even though I'm a size 4, and a runner and Barre class enthusiast, I don't have great legs, so shorts make me cringe. But I love dresses and skirts. When I found this ... thought I found the solution, and have not been disappointed. It's very comfortable, rides up minimally ( not enough of a problem to stop wearing it), and always looks pressed and ready to wear straight from the dryer or drawer. I bought the black, purple and putty brown colors. They are very versatile and in the summer, gives a cute spin on my playground, beach and picnic outfits.
LOVE this little ...
I was scard of the ... but I took a chance and found out that I could live in this style. I like the topstitching, fit, and it's so practical. I took one traveling and it unpacks unwrinkled, is quick drying and goes from hiking to dinner easily. Dresses up or down. The only thing I don't really like is the lack of front pockets. The fabric is perfect for tropical climates, and with leggings works well in a Pacific Northwest winter. I'm also short (5'1") and I had to hem it about 4 inches. I like it so much that I'm looking for another one now. Love Athleta styles,[...]
Great ...
I love this ... very comfortable, and keeps you very cool in hot, humid weather. I also love that it is a ... so you can be super active yet stylish while wearing it. It is a great fit and very true to size. I am not a shorts wearer. I love dresses and skirts for warm weather, and this is the perfect addition to my collection. I wear it with my Athleta sneakers or flat sandals. It is definitley versatile.
cute and comfy
this is the best skirt ever! light weight, stretchy and comfortable. I am 5'9" and usually wear either a 6 or 8 in dresses and skirts. I got this in a 8 because I think athleta tends to run a little on the smaller side in thier bottoms. the 8 fits perfect. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it does show wrinkles and they don't come out but its a flowy skirt so they don't look bad. Also the material is kind of like swimsuit material so I don't think I would wear to an office but its perfect for everything else. I bought another and get compliments all the time. I do think if you are petite it might be too long. It hits me right above my knee. The shorts underneath are very light and stretchy and do not ride up.
Cute concept but runs short
I ordered a few sizes and colors, including a ... just for kicks. Good thing I did. I am only 5'6" but the regular size is way too short on me; it falls an inch or 2 above the knee. I am in my 40s and not really looking to be so exposed (discolored knees, varicose veins etc). Anyway I'm ordering more talls in other colors. I do wish this came in olive though; I prefer colors from nature and I am not a fan of the sherbet ice cream look. Also, while I was attracted by the contrast stitching in the photos, in reality it is too extreme on dark colors like the black. It draws too much attention to the skirt, functions as an additional color, and makes coordinating difficult in my opinion.
"Your butt looks really good in that skirt"
I really love wearing skirts and dresses, but with 16 month old twins, I need some, um, coverage. I would have bought this skirt anyway, even if it didn't have the shorts inside, so imagine my surprise at the bonus. The sizing is a little big. I'm normally a size 6, and the 6 had so much fabric swirling around that I really wasn't impressed. But the 4 fit great, even in the waist. I'd suggest ordering a size smaller than you normally wear. It's also a little long and I had contemplated bringing it back for a hemming, but my husband then told me, "I meant to tell you, your butt looks really good in that skirt." I bought two more.
Love this skirt
I bought two different colors and I love this ... am not much of lady when playing sports, but love wearing skirts and dresses the summer. Fits comfortably and the fabric doesn't wrinkle easily...great to travel with! Only thing that drives me nuts is the inside string that ties (unnecessary).
