Like the Hush ruched skirt but a pencil skirt?

[Chaby]

I have been wearing my Hush ruched skirt with opaque tights all winter. It's too short to wear with bare legs now though.

Is there a similar skirt but more pencil skirt length? All the ones I have found have been thin and flimsy, I like the thickness of the Hush one as feels like my arse is not wobbling around too much!

The whistles tube skirt which everyone bangs on about here is excellent!

Thanks will try that! I have a big arse and small waist so really struggle with getting skirts to fit but love wearing them.

Can't find the Whistles one in stock anywhere but will keep looking. Think I wanted a slightly longer one though.

baukjen have a lovely striped one in at the moment which is longer length but very stylish.

There was a ruched skirt in Next which was below knee, it was more dark grey than black though. Exactly the same style as the Hush one. Not sure if it's still in store now, this was a couple of months ago.

Kettlewell do a longer length rushed skirt

I'm also looking for this. Quite like this one from People Tree but not 100% sold on the drawstring waist.

I got one in the white company last year but haven't seen another this year when I looked!

Oh could I have a link please to the original skirt please

Found it online!

I've got this black ruched shirt from Boden in the long length and it goes to just under my knees. I'm 5ft 8. The stock seems a bit patchy just now though but they will probably get more soon as it's something they stock year after year.

The Boden ruched skirt is longer - I've moved from the Hush to the Boden for spring! Boden seem to be out of stock a lot though - mine in black was at clearance price (£19 I think?) last year. But they do have lighter colours in.

X-post - glad it was in agreement!

Isn't the Boden one pencil length? Mine certainly is.

Thank you big cheese
I never really wear skirts but wear dtresses alit but I do like that

I got a stretchy jersey pencil skirt from h&m last week and I love it. Not quite the same as the ruched ones but they're only £8.99 so maybe worth a look?

I've got the Boden one. What shoes does everyone wear with theirs?

I've been wearing tights and flat Chelsea boots with the boden one, and will switch to trainers and sandals as we get into bare leg season.

I like the Mint Velvet one (Sorry - link will probably only take you to the home page but it's in 'Skirts') It's double layered with good sucking in properties. Quite long but there's a foldover kind of waistband so you can adjust. Not ruched but the double layer means you can get a ruched effect yourself.

Likewise Pure Collection - I've had one like this at least a couple of years and it's worn very well. Pricey but they usually have an offer knocking around.

The Kettlewell one comes in a good range of colours. The fabric's not quite as heavy as the other two but that might be better for summer.

Lexie I have the Boden skirt. In summer I wear it with bear legs and sandals or T bar flats. In the winter I wear with tights and ankle boots.

Amethyst was going to say about the H&M ones, they are fab! Only got a grey one but will buy another one next time I see them.

They fit and sit really well, are comfy, and wash well too. In fact I prefer them to the similar Whistles skirt I have which I always find a bit tight and clingy.

Also look for pencil skirts on New Look website, they do a sort of light textured black one in mini and longer length.

The new look ones are not really stretchy but have a moveable material. Have to watch if they ride up. Wear with thicker opaques the shorter one.

My H&M one went really saggy very quickly - and I say that as a big H&M fan. I guess that's their famous randomness at work.

For what to wear with it (my skirts) for work I wear patent black ballerinas (Accessorize) or faux reptile loafers (Jones Bootmaker). I do have some black tabbed suede ankle boots but they're not strictly Chelsea boots. Maybe I should buy some...
