Can anyone find this skirt?

I'm trying to find a short skirt for holiday and I searched a few months back and I had some suggestions but I still couldn't find what I'm after so trying again!!

I want a short skirt that I can just pull on over bikini when on holiday going to the beach or by the pool. I don't want a kaftan or sarong, I want an actual skirt as I'm limited to hand luggage so it will be used out and about.

I don't want a 'tube' skirt but slightly looser. Not a denim skirt as bit of a tug to get it on when by the pool plus a little heavy. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Not a lot about I could find..

Not short, but I'm intrigued by the "technology"!

To be honest, what's wrong with shorts? Doing a quick search for this, absolutely tons of elasticated waist, pull-on shorts in jersey or soft fabrics came up which would fit your brief in every other way. Easy to roll up to fit small in a case.

I look awful in shorts. Always make my thighs look chunky. I prefer skirts but as you have seen not a lot about! I shall have a look at that new look one though thanks

Also comes in khaki.

Not so keen on the waist of the H&M one ... I have seen a Doyle like the other link though.... sort of jogging bottom material.... may have to resort to one if I can't find what it after

I have the Howies one and it is brilliant for beach and then wandering to a cafe. Really comfy but pretty flattering as well

I have one like this and it's perfect for throwing on over a bikini. The "smocked waist" is the key.

Purplerainbow · 28/06/2017 20:19

I like the howies one.... never heard of them though? What's delivery like and the sizing victoria?

I like that sea salt one yes but it is too long.

I like the asos one... but possibly a little smart?

How strange OP - I was looking at skirts on boohoo earlier and thought 'the OP posting about skirts wanted something like this' and here you are

How's this?

Can anyone find this skirt?
Purplerainbow · 28/06/2017 20:34

The promod link doesn't work?

The first Superdry one is ok but I worry how hot it may get? (May not have made it obvious I'm going away to hotter climates!)

Thanks bleugh do you think it would look silly wearing it down to the pool ? Annoyingly I only put an order in to boohoo yesterday!

Bleurghghghgh · 28/06/2017 20:35

No I think it'd look fine!

falalalaoops · 28/06/2017 20:38

Oh strange. Search for "smocked skirt" or "patterned flared skirt" on the main website.

Might be worth a look?

VictoriaMcdade · 28/06/2017 20:48

Howies are great. Good delivery, and free returns on full priced items and when they had forgotten to put a returns label in I rang up, and spoke to a lovely woman who was really helpful.

Also - and this may not matter to everyone - I really like the fact that they are a small company in Wales.

Sizing wise - I am a 12 and am very comfy in a Medium. I reckon if I was 10-12 I would try a small.

As a side point - their merino is brilliant in the winter for skiing.... but I'm talking about the wrong kind of holiday fashion!

TheFairyCaravan · 28/06/2017 20:51

What about this Purple?

Purplerainbow · 29/06/2017 06:11

Ooooh thefairy yes!! I don't like the coral but they have black, but it's see through?! No problem for around the pool but not great if popping to cafe etc from the beach. But for £11....!

Tesco have one I'll see if I can link...

A1Sharon · 29/06/2017 06:19

No, can't see it online. I think it is in their swimwear section, a little black and white pull on skirt- like above I saw it and thought of you OP.Grin

Purplerainbow · 29/06/2017 06:27
