Elasticated waist skirts

My mum is 84 and losing weight as she ages. Can anybody recommend a comfortable skirt with an elasticated waist. Not really style and beauty, but really desperately in need to get something quick.

If you need something quick you could get one next day delivery off Amazon.

What shops are in your area? You would be best to go onto their website and search for what you are after, you could then go in and see what they feel like.

I had never heard of them so I went to look. I'm 66 and all I could think of was "I will NEVER be that old!"

Bon Marche usually have a few.

Well my Mother is 98 ideal however she can’t see why I won’t wear them 67. Another idea for skirts is Danmart another one that my Mother thinks is suitable for all haha I am not a fashion plate by any means but really?

There are loads in M&S.
Pleated jersey, satin or in a plisse fabric. In black, pink, red & Ombre styles. Paired with a plain knit jumper they would look great.

Amazon have these skirts in lots of colours, which would arrive by saturday. Soft jersey and lined, as old people often feel the cold.

I had a really great one from John Lewis, it's thick Jersey with big pockets and a waist that can either be folded over or, as I prefer to wear it, unfolded and covering my whole tummy up to my bra strap. So comfortable!!

Oh, and I'm 39, but I reckon I'd wear it even if I were 99!

Meek Boutique. She specialises in the post 20's crowd and is a big fan of comfort! Has lots of lovely things on her site. It is spendy though.
