Boring maxi skirt wanted!

So I have lost my favourite ever maxi skirt Sad and the cat is not helping me find it Hmm

It was a grey marl one, only cheap from new look with one side split. Perfect to wear with sandals or trainers and I lived in it for work over summer. Just a simple pull on but it wasn't a body con type split one, more jersey

So I want
Grey or black or navy
One side split
Normal waist - not shirred or paper bag or button front
Not body con type tube skirt
Long - I'm 5ft 10

Help? eBay has thrown up nothing and I've ripped the place apart searching for my bloody skirt 😭😭😭😭

If it’s hot side seams you could make a split?

YesQueen · 20/04/2019 01:20

This looks possible depending on length. The one I had from new look seemed to be an anomaly in that it was weirdly long. I keep thinking when did I last wear it etc etc and I have no idea

If you’re a 10 get this one me and em £30

Absolute bargain. I’m 5ft 10 and it’s long enough

Thanks @mysteryfairy. I bought that one now, if it's no good can I blame you?

mysteryfairy · 20/04/2019 15:57

Unless you are a small 10 (in which case it might be too big Blush) I defy you not to like it!

Have a look on JD Williams - although they market at plus sizes, most of their clothes start at a 10, and some at 6 or 8.

They've got a wide range of maxi skirts and aren't expensive - I have got a navy one in the last few weeks, and also a black one: there was a grey marl option too somewhere

No split, though, on this style (as I don't like them!) but most had them. Otherwise - Asda?

@mysteryfairy
Too big as in long or wide?? I think my legs are short as I wear a 30" leg. Blush
It says free returns so if doesn't fit it's okay.
Such a bargain though!

I just bought a nice black maxi skirt from Boohoo - I'm 6ft and it's floor length from the Tall section.

No side split but really comfortable with elastic waist.

mysteryfairy · 20/04/2019 19:31

It’s very long but doesn’t have to be due to the way it can be ruched...but also fit a large 10 hips wise, again has quite a lot of stretch so probably fine on a narrow person. I have khaki and black from last summer and like the OP with her maxi skirt wore them to death as so easy to put an outfit together. In fact I just bought leather low top converse from the sale here for £25 to extend their life for another season...
