Where can I get a stretchy pencil skirt in thick jersey to hide the lard?
I'm a SAHM so want to wear it casually during the day with boots or pumps. Thanks for any suggestions

Www.baukjen.co.uk
It's the non maternity line of Isabella Oliver. Boden usually do one.

Marks & Spencer is your friend.

I have got a fab one from Dorothy Perkins

JumpHerWho · 11/03/2013 21:23

Topshop do a fab cheaper version of the Baukjen one, I have the maternity version which apparently they don't do any more Hmm

Oh thanks guys :) Just seen a nice M+S one on ebay so will bid with confidence. Baukjen was my 1st port of call, but apparently they come to below the knee, which I don't really want. Will check out DP and topshop & also boden. Thanks.

I swear by the American Apparel interlock pencil skirt. It's great, comes in loads of colours, and is casual.

zara do loads

size up to gigantic, their sizing is nuts

Sainsburys have thick ones for £16

senioroafdog · 12/03/2013 08:48

I also got one recently from DP and although a teeny bit big is good quality and excellent value was about £16 Smile

JumpHerWho · 16/03/2013 14:22

Bargain grey Lounge Lover one - £79 down to £23 if you're still looking!

pussollini · 16/03/2013 14:43

I might get this one because i like the zip detail. Not sure how thick the material is though (I too have corners to smooth Grin)

vix206 · 16/03/2013 14:47

ASOS do these too. I have several and would recommend. I also got one from the Gap website last year.

Another vote for the Topshop double layer one.

madmomma · 16/03/2013 21:01

Ooh just come back to this thread - thanks very much!

Bought the £7( from Primark) black pencil skirt last week, I've washed it and it has stayed the same size. However it won't hide any lumps or bumps as it is stretchy.

I think it is a bargain!
