Tired of tiered!

[Rach247]

Why is every single dress and skirt for sale at the moment tiered? I don’t like it, too reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie for me, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a midi dress or skirt without tiers. Does anyone share my pain?

I don't love them either. The last few midi or maxi skirts and dresses I've bought (NRBY, Kemi Telford, Baum Und Pferdgarten) aren't tiered.

It's awful - we aren't 7 year olds!! I don't want to twirl!!

Same.

And much to my chagrin I thought I'd found a nice button through non-tiered autumn skirt, and I've realised that it does in fact have a tier!

A subtle one, but a tier nonetheless...

Grrr

This is the offending tiered skirt ( can't believe I didn't notice!!)

Monki had none tiered skirts, I've bought a couple of shirt dresses without tiers.

As long as we don't go back to body con I'm happy.

@missfliss the dark colours hid it well! I can see how you were deceived.

Can short and slightly chubby people wear midi skirts? I mean is it flattering or a no-no? I have never considered or worn a longer skirt. Should I??

@R0tational I think everyone suits midi skirts.

Yes, they ruin an otherwise nice line. Hate the trend

Can’t stand the trend , I find it very difficult to find non tiered !

My accidentally tiered Oliver bonas skirt went back today - it looked stupid on. Like i was playing Romany gypsy dress up.

I've ordered two from hush - so we'll see ...

I don’t mind them occasionally. Just been browsing the new Baukjen collection, and every sodding dress is tiered. Some are ridiculously long too. I’ve recently bought a shirt waist dress from Hush, that is ok. Also got a couple from Somerset by Temperley, and they are lovely, really good quality. I’m also thinking about the Hobbs Alex dress, which is lovely in real life, but a bit more conservative than others I’ve seen

I HATE them. Hate this neverending trend for voluminous dresses, puff sleeves and tiers. Can we have some clothes for grown-up women please?

@JuneFromBethesda My thoughts exactly! Fed up of fashion trends that make grown women look like little girls. I live in hope that clothes that actually look good will come back into the shops soon...

I really dislike the massive droopy collars which are on everything at the moment. Definitely a no for me

COS has got loads of non-tiered skirts if you're after one.

Oh god the collars @MsDastardley!!! They’re even worse than the tiers, and I didn’t think that was possible. Boden has lots of stupid collars, big ones, little ones, it’s Princess Di circa 1980. Hideous.

I love tiers, they're fabulous at hiding my bloat.

Marks has loads of non tiered skirts

I don't suit them at all and agree they are a bit childish! I look like an overgrown toddler in them.

Honestly, you could try eBay? They do seem to be eeeverywhere.

It's not the best look on anyone over 20, unless you have the dimensions of an ironing board IMO.

But sleek A line midi skirts/dresses and knee length boots is grown up, chic and ageless on everyone. Also warm, with tights in winter. A bit (2-5cm) of heel helps too, as long as you can walk.

I’m with you all on this - I find tiered dresses/skirts, along with ruffles, flounces, pouffy sleeves etc just too fussy. My go-to dress style is a simple shirt dress to mid-calf which ties at the waist (or I can add a belt) but it’s hard to find them without tiers or one of the above this season, and I don’t like twee/ditsy prints which rules out a lot. Am beginning to think what I’m looking for doesn’t exist. Will be glad when this look is over!!

Just returned another skirt that had a tier that I could t see in the pics online.

Changed tack and now ordered this to try
