Help me find a black skirt for work please!

I need help finding black skirts for work, I currently have two but I have to wash them all the time and it's getting annoying. I want some more so I don't have to do so much washing. I did look were I got the ones I already have, and they don't have any left in stock, which is a shame as I love these ones.

For context I'm 5 foot 3 and a size 14/16. I am also very picky about skirts!

It needs to be; plain black, cotton, below the knee, preferably not with an elasticated waist, and a-line or circle skirt because I need to be able to move in it. (The only thing from the rules is 'plain black' although I'm assuming my workplace wouldn't be keen on very short skirts.)

I started wearing skirts to work in the spring after lockdown (because my job role changed) and it's been a revelation. I don't want to go back to trousers after wearing them for ten years. (I only wear skirts outside of work.)

Hopefully someone with more style and panache than me will answer soon! Can suggest Hobbs, Marks and Spencer, Reiss if they do petite, Dorothy Perkins, Next?

I am larger than you (18/20 and a whole inch taller. I normally go down the M&S, Next, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins route though must admit I normally stick to trousers.

I've looked at all those sites and no luck, I'm afraid. So many pencil skirts! (I loathe pencil skirts with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Bit over-dramatic there, but you get the idea. Grin ) And all the ones I like (denim or leather) I can't really wear at work.

Thank you for your help though. Smile I'll keep looking!

Well I am surprised you only had one answer! Hopefully someone else will try.
