This from topshop

www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&productId=9635817&categoryId=209775&parent_category_rn=208530

Is it nice? I saw it once and wanted to buy it but got distracted. Now they're back in stock and I don't know what to do. If anyone has seen or tried it I would love to hear your opinion!

It is lovely. I saw a very chic lady wearing a white skirt very similar or even the same, teamed with tan wedges, a red top, possibly a smart best top and a white cardigan or sweater looped over a tan bag, big black sunglasses and dark hair tied back. She looked effortlessly chic.

Best means vest!

Thanks Sunday! I was worried as one of the reviews said it made her look enormous or something. I can't see how, though. May give it a go ...

It would make me look enormous, but it is gorgeous and wish I could wear skirts like this. Get it, 'tis lovely Smile

Saw it in the shop yesterday. Looked nice on the hanger.

Also saw a lady dressed very similarly to the one Sunday saw. Not the Topshop skirt I don't think, but very similar. She had tan shoes and accessories, not black like the website model; much nicer IMO.

So what body shape would best suit it do you think? It seemed pretty simple and A-line.....can't see how it would make anyone look enormous???

Personally I don't think it would suit a larger lady. It needs a slender figure to look chic.

LulaPalooza · 05/06/2013 13:18

It wouldn't suit me as I am large of bottom and thick of leg Sad

But it's lovely.

thanks. im 'slender' but high-ish waisted, so always aware of potential frumpage in midsection.

now, i wonder how many hot or warm days I'd get to wear it without tights1

Sunday you are right I am a 14 with chunky legs and hips, these skirts always look dreadful on me but I so love them Sad
