To have bought a skirt that will drive me insane?

[FolkyFoxFace]

Browsing New Look sales for some maternity clothes - I'm 30 weeks and even my maternity jeans will probably get uncomfortable soon. Spotted a nice ribbed blue midi skirt - perfect.

Bought it and then immediately realised I've exactly the same model, only none maternity and grey shoved to the back of my drawer. Reason being that it clung to my tights and constantly rode up.

Aside from cancelling, what else can I do? Am I bound to the skirt from hell or am I missing a skirt wearing trick here?! How do others wear these?!

Following - I’ve got no idea but am experiencing the same issue!

I bought an MS underskirt which does the job

It’s why skirts should have linings!

I'm glad it's not just me! There must be a magic answer!

At the risk of sounding just like my mother, and if you can bear it, wear a petticoat!

I could try that actually! It's just that it's a jersey material so I'm not sure if anything under it will help!

That looks like a nightmare, sorry

I am the proud owner of an underskirt these days! I think "slip" sounds slightly less frumpy

Another vote here for a slip! So good for things that don't even crawl up your legs with the wrong tights for feeling less clingy. And definitely the solution for things that do.

That’s really pretty! Hopefully the petticoat will help it be wearable.

I heard you rub your legs with those tumble dryer sheets - but I never wear skirts so can’t say if it works

You need an underskirt.:)

I have several skirts like this,
I also have several half slips and 2 full body slips for wearing with them. And have done since I was 20...... I am not frumpy, but I am 47 😂😂😂

Right, looks like a slip/petticoat/underskirt is on the cards! I've not worn one since I was about 6, but needs definitely must! Maybe the old grey relic can emerge post-pregnancy if this works...

Definitely need a slip. I used to have a stretch one though it would probably cost more than the skirt!

Slip?

Something at the back of my head is saying hairspray but that might be to stop shoes slipping.

I have vinyl style legging things which look amazing but squeak when you walk!

M&S full slips. Game changer.

Pregnancy support cycling shorts and hairspray 👌👌👌👌

Or tights and hairspray

@FoxtrotSkarloey

Hats off to you if you are bothering with tights at 30 weeks! Honestly, I'd be buying a better pair of maternity jeans (FWIW, mine were comfy throughout).

Can you recommend a decent pair of jeans? I've got two pairs from H&M, which I thought would last...but again I seem to have lost all sense this pregnancy, as I forgot their sizes are child-like at the best of times. 😂

Slips are a great idea in normal times, but none of mine fitted when I was 30 weeks pregnant

hairspray

I'm now also frantically googling this hairspray trick. I've a whole bottle of Insette that's been used once - maybe its time has come!

Squeaky leggings would drive me mad! I bet they look fab though!

I always liked Next maternity jeans with the over bump bit.
