This (overpriced?) skirt for an hourglass shape?

[Pupsiecola]

I tried it on and really like the pattern. I have a £50 gift card to use from Christmas so it would only feel like I'm spending £48 ;-). The style/shape suits me I think but I would need to wear a fitted top with it so that it accentuates the waist. I was thinking just a plain jersey type long sleeved top. I could wear it year round (with sandals or tights and boots). I might keep an eye out for it in the sale as it feels overpriced but I am trying to be more quality than quantity now that I'm mid 40s so I would pay this for it if I was convinced. I'm between a size 12 and 10 having lost a couple of stones. But I would buy the 10 as I'm confident that I'll be there soon.

Jigsaw Skirt

Oh okay! Thanks. This one is really good quality and lined and feels nice on but I will do as you say. This voucher is burning a hole in my purse lol.

So annoying - I want to see it, but because I'm overseas, clicking on the link just brings up the jigsaw home page, IYSWIM? Not the actual skirt.

Could you post a screenshot, pretty please?

I'm sure it's a lot nicer in real life - is it nice fabric - but Jigsaw manage to make everything on their website look absolutely frumptastic and drab. I'm sure you could get something that shape in a better print and colour somewhere else - Oasis or Warehouse or Topshop?

Is it a Jigsaw voucher?

I'm a hourglass and it wouldn't be for me. I wouldn't think it would be very flattering on hips and bum but would be ok if a LOT cheaper for casual days etc.

I have a few of these Jigsaw skirts and find the style very flattering. I'm a size 10/12 and pear shaped. The fabric is always lovely and soft & drapes really well - I've never managed to find a cheaper alternative that is cut as nicely. I wear them all the year round and although they are expensive they are worn more than any other skirts I have.

HOW MUCH?!?!?!?!?!?!😮😮😮

Like the skirt, colour, shape and fabric, but I think it is a bit overpriced really. That said, if you like it, and it feels good quality, then get it and enjoy it.

There's nothing special about that skirt to warrant anyone paying £98 for it.

That is quite overpriced OP - I would take a look online at sites such as H&M, ASOS etc as I am 100% sure you will find a close match for a fraction of the price - then you can spend your voucher on something else :)

I was really shocked when I clicked through. I expected to see a structued, statement skirt that looked mega expensive. As the others said, I'm sure you could find a similar look for a LOT less. It might be good quality but so are many other shops with casual skirts at the £40 mark. Perhaps wait and use the voucher in the next Jigsaw sale?

Can you wait for the sale?

I think gap had a few similar online last time I looked.

No way is that £100 for a flippy little skirt. It looks like a dishrag from h&m in that picture. I take the point from a pp that it's lined but don't they have a nice dress or jacket for that money?

I like it but, fuck me £98?!

The other thing I liked was a leather biker jacket, but I was £248 short. Yes, the price is exactly why I didn't buy it at the time. I just couldn't do it. I've bookmarked it in case it gets reduced at sale time. It is a lovely skirt though.

Ridiculously overpriced. It looks like the sort of thing you'd get in White Stuff, or even H&M. Wouldn't even contemplate it unless you absolutely love it.

Jesus that's overpriced. As others say look in h&m and maybe even fat face etc

It's a yard of viscose and a yard of polyester, OP. Nothing special about the print either. Please don't - it's a total rip-off.

As I've said, I am going to wait for it to go in the sale.

Ridiculously overpriced!!! 😱

I have a similar style skirt from Kew (Jigsaw's sister brand) a few years ago. Can't remember how much I paid, but mine is 100% silk and has lasted well. No way would I pay £98 for viscose! Jigsaw are obviously following Hobbs' example and replacing quality fabrics with manmade tat but still expecting to charge the same prices.

How good are the reductions normally in the Jigsaw sale?

I wouldn't consider anything over £30 for it.

It'll definitely go on the sale because no-one will pay the current price for it. It's a perfectly nice skirt but not £98 worth. I like how they avoided rounding it up to £100.

Viscose is man-made but it's not synthetic. It's a cellulosic fibre like cotton, which is chemically treated to make it drape like silk (it used to be called artificial silk).

It's creases like mad though - just like silk. It wouldn't stay looking like it does in the picture for long.
