If you can afford it and you love it then buy it. I spent a similar amount on this beauty and I LOVE her. I’ve worn her twice so far but she takes pride of place in my wardrobe and I hope to wear her many times in the future.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I'd ask you where it is from, but I no longer have a waist, so it would be pointless.

Purplecatshopaholic · 10/04/2025 21:35

That’s not a terrible price for a decent quality skirt - you could dress that up with heels, down with boots, it’s lovely. Go for it (I appreciate I am no help, lol).

CheeseWisely · 10/04/2025 21:35

@TallAndSkinnyWithAnUnusuallyLargePelvisIts from Stella Nova, but I bought it back in 2023, right before I got pregnant 😳 Thankfully I’ve managed to get back into it since!

madameimadam · 10/04/2025 21:42

Don’t buy it.

’cos I want it. It’s LOVELY!!

(That’s not really helping, is it?!)

inkognitha · 10/04/2025 21:45

Sequins are bad for the planet, it is very Xmassy, you got no idea of how well they were affixed and how much "shedding" etc.

But also, this skirt has no tailoring. There is no waist. At the top, you just have a tiny elastic band with a bulge of fabric under, no clean silhouette or flat tummy. Because of the tall cone shape, If you are hourglass or wider, it is not going to work. To fit your hips, you will need a wider size than your waist and it is going to gape. And, the total dealbreaker for me, it does not have a slit or an opening AFAIS, you won't be able to walk freely or comfortably.

madaboutpurple · 10/04/2025 21:46

Have you checked on Vinted. I am sure you could get something similar much cheaper. Then again you might just want the skirt that you have seen.

LadyRoughDiamond · 10/04/2025 21:46

If in doubt, leave it for now then start stalking Vinted. I bet it will pop up there at a lower price by Xmas.

Thunderpants88 · 10/04/2025 21:47

It looks like someone “skinned” a load of fish and chucked it on a skirt.

your welcome

Eminybob · 10/04/2025 21:48

OK

So if I were to buy this skirt, I’ve not bought this brand before. What is the sizing like? Should I size up or down? Or true to size?

Would be good if it were true

You love it? It never ceases to amaze me what different tastes people have! I think it's very meh. Silver sequins are for Xmas only imo. It's a pretty boring length/shape.

I like a few sequins at Christmas but I wouldn't wear that.

Azureshores · 10/04/2025 21:52

Also - Massimo Dutti is one of the brands often in TK Maxx heavily discounted.

Searchingforananswer2023 · 10/04/2025 21:53

Wait for a bit and it will end up appearing cheaper on Vinted

Swallowdoubleandrunamile · 10/04/2025 20:54

It's lovely, white tshirt and flip flops all summer.

Who the hell would wear a long heavily sequinned skirt in summer with flip flops? 😂

StartAnew · 10/04/2025 21:55

Too Christmassy. You'd end up on the top of the tree. And the sequins would fall off everywhere and block your vacuum cleaner. And if you needed to hide suddenly at night from a police helicopter, your skirt would make you high-viz. Don't do it OP. Buy a nice latte instead.

LucieChardon · 10/04/2025 21:57

Thank goodness the size 12 is out of stock, otherwise I'd be tempted... I'm on the hunt for the perfect silver sequin skirt, this might have been it?

I love sequins, and am happy to wear them any time of the year. Get it to try on at least, OP. Otherwise it will haunt your dreams.

Me! When I find the perfect silver sequin skirt :)

MidnightMeltdown · 10/04/2025 21:58

That style is on trend atm, but it’s not a classic, it will date. And it’s not the sort of thing that you are likely to get a lot of wear out of before it does. It’s a no from me.

TasWair · 10/04/2025 22:02

You might wear it out and walk through a park on your way to a restaurant and your elegant glamour will catch the eye of an inquisitive squirrel. Said squirrel will squeak to all its friends and acquaintances that they have a "code silver" situation, and all in the squirrel community will immediately spring to attention, leaving their dinners half-eaten and their makeup half-done. They'll amass by the old conker tree and wait for you, lovely OP, who will approach all stylish and glittering with no idea what's to come.

It isn't going to be pretty. I'm not going to lie to you.

Those squirrels will leap away with their furry bastard fists full of silver sequins, back to their community hub in the elm by the dogshit bins. Hundreds of them, gleeful as their paws overflow with plastic silver discs. They'll be making the sequinned disco balls they've dreamt of for their Summer Ball, and you, dear dear OP, will be left in a nice top and granny knickers in the park, wondering why squirrels are such arseholes.

Stichintime · 10/04/2025 22:06

I disagree it's a classic, I think it's nearly dated already... and a bit try hard.

I've just been transported back to the stretchy silver, long tube skirt I used to wear in the late o
90s. I didn't even remember it but now it's vivid.

I'd wear that one for work. But I'm not averse to a bit of being.

But. You need help discarding it, so:

It will never be the right time.
You'll plan to wear it and get it out every time you have a night out. You'll know you should sell it, but what if.....?

whengodwasarabbit1 · 10/04/2025 22:20

It's amazing! You Must have it!

AxolotlEars · 10/04/2025 22:20

Buy it. Wear it to Lidl
