Cotton skirts but not with pictures of teapots or birds

I fancy some skirts preferably cotton, for summer.
I am tall, so need about 24 inches. No pleats or bunchy stuff round the middle....and not silly prints.

Sorry mrsd you may like those! I hate that boden look though. There aren't many skirts around that I have seen tbh. What sort of tops do you wear? I find dresses a bit easier

Kettlewell do plain colour ones, variious lengths and good colours but they are jersey. I've got a bright blue one and love it

Got to tell you irl those skirts are actually ok, photography isn't great. And they're not Boden, so cannot be all that bad!!

I'll go against the grain I don't think patterned skirts are super frumpy I don't wear them as I'm a pear and emphasising my bottom is not great.

I do find dresses easier.

The twin sets worn with them make them look frumpy, otherwise some of the prints are nice.

Mrsrobertduvall · 13/05/2012 17:19

I never wear dresses as the proportions are all wrong. I'm 6 feet tall, size 16 top but 12 bottom.

I have bought skirts from Mango before, clean lines, some prints - check online, and also the outlet section.
