A skirt like this, but not pleather

6 replies

Polyp0 · 01/12/2024 01:24

I tried on this skirt today, and absolutely loved the shape, the colour, the fit, and the length. However it is made of pleather. I have a couple of denim skirts in this sort of shape and really like them, but I’m looking for something that has a slightly more ‘going out’ sort of a vibe. Grey or taupe or navy or neutral brown. Cefinn has something similar, but it’s in a voile that I think looks a bit office wear. Boden has something similar in taffeta but it made me look dumpy.

Can anyone help? Budget ideally up to £250, but definitely no more that £350.

And another. It looks quite dark in the pics but was actually a nice subtle navy. The thing I like is the way the pleats are stitched down until the hip bones, very flattering. Gathered waists make me look like a sack of spuds.

Take a look here. Definitely not office-y. I cannot say for certain that the pleats are sewn down at the top, but they are on all their other kilts, so I’d assume so. (I have another of their skirts - it’s breathtakingly well made.)

Thanks for the replies. Really like that La Fetice skirt, but too similar to comething else I own. Really like some of their high waisted trousers though, have realised Thais thread might open up too much temptation in other areas!

sorry when I say not pleather, I meant some other fabric, other than leather or plleather. I have tried on the Jigsaw brown leather in the link, but leather just takes me back to the 1980’s, even though the shape is right.
