Anyone seen a cheaper version of this skirt with the same shape / fit?

I tried this skirt on at the weekend and it fits me really nicely but I don't have a spare £100. I'm hoping to learn how to sew one, but as that might take a while (total beginner) I'm wondering if anyone has seen any similar skirts anywhere else? I don't care about the pattern / colour, it's just the fit, the swishy light fabric and the nice comfortable elastic waistband and pockets.

I'm short so it's much longer on me, and ideally I'd have preferred it a couple of inches longer so it swishes about just above a pair of trainers (or sandals).

The first one only has one in stock unfortunately. I loveeee the UA one but not sure if the split is a deal breaker for you? And only in green but it’s beautiful :)

thanks for posting those. I'll go and look more closely at the beyond retro one now.

If you’ve got a sewing machine it really really wouldn’t take long. As a beginner last year, I made skirts like that for wearing in rural Kenya and they’re pretty straightforward. Honestly

Thanks TheIsland, I've also got another thread I started this evening asking about how easy / hard it'd be to sew and had some good replies with some helpful instructions so that's definitely an option too. Rural Kenya sounds like an interesting place to go, hope it was enjoyable.
