Looking for a long stretchy /clingy skirt

Have had an epiphany that I really do look best in my favourite long black tube skirt with a vest top and fitted v-neck cardi or v-neck fitted top. So I'm now on a mission to ignore fashion and get more of the items that work for me into my wardrobe.
But my skirt is 5yrs old from Dunnes - has anyone seen anything (not shiny fabric), any colour, anywhere?
Cheers

Not sure I'm prepared to offer help to anyone who looks their best in a long stretchy clingy skirt - I would look like a bag of fighting ferrets in one!

Have you tried Monsoon? I think it was them that had a t shirt materila one last season.

M&S sometimes do a fab stretchy pencil skirt in really quite thick material (good for holding bits in, so to speak), but I don't think they have it on the website atm - I had a look the other day, as I've had 2, and my current one is about 6 years old, and starting to fall to bits.

I suspect that this is a bit too full, and not sure if you want pattern? Good price though.

Not sure whether this is long enough - depends how tall you are, I guess.

Ooh that McKays one is nice, the fabric is right - viscose with a bit of lycra. Will have a look in M&S though as it's a long tube I'm after.
Katelyle, it's the column of black that makes the lumps and bumps vanish, esp with heeled boots. The right kind of fitted top hides my pot belly too, I always think if you wear a a tent you'll look tentshaped, at least in clingy clothes the good bits are on show and people aren't imagining more lumps than there are! My beloved skirt has been round two baby bumps and still fits perfectly!
