A skirt or dress like this

I saw this on the Libby London website today and I really
like this as a concept for workwear but am not keen on the fact that if you look closely it is a wrap skirt as I think sitting down it will show too much leg. There is also a dress on the site but that’s a shirt dress and doesn’t look as nice.

Has anyone seen anything similar in either a dress or a skirt and top combo anywhere else please? Doesn’t have to be navy and yellow combo but I like the flared shape of the skirt and the contrasting stripe at the bottom of the skirt in particular.

Like them both. Think I marginally prefer the dress.

Thanks @Niftythrifter. It’s specifically the contrasting stripe at the hemline which is the look I am looking for

It's very nice and I think I'd want to at least try it - but the edge of the wrap looks as if it's on centre body (it's obvious on the red version) and I'd prefer it came much further over to the left. Depends how wide the wrap underneath is- if it goes well over to the right of your body it should be fine.

You'd hope they would have designed it not to gape.

Like the Bon prix one too.

Love the Phase Eight one but it’s only available in a size 6 sadly and I haven’t been that size since I was a pre ternagrr 😊. The Roman one is also lovely but completely out of stock. The Bonprix one is out of stock in my size (12) but would also have been a good shout.

There are lots but many of them seem to be out of stock.

It’s hard to tell from the pictures but my suspicion is that the two Vinted ones may be a bit short for me. I’m in my middle 50’s and can’t really rock the above the knee look any longer!

I’d just bondaweb the wrap in place.

That’s not a bad idea!

I have that skirt. It doesn’t show a lot of leg at all. Buy it!

I’m glad I asked! I’ve taken the plunge and ordered it.
