Swishy cotton maxi skirt

55 replies

PowderPants · 25/05/2025 09:20

Help please oh wise ones of MN
I am after a long swishy maxi skirt to wear over the summer with a simple white T and either nude ballet flats or nude espadrilles (I acknowledge not the most trend setting but suits my aesthetic!).
I am tall (5 ft 10) and looking for a true ling maxi- size 12/14.
ideally:
Cotton
Pockets
Lined
I love pinks and works well with nude and a raffia bag
Bonus points if lined
Budget of up to £150
and nothing from China please!

i attach the closest thing I have found but this is off a scam website with terrible reviews.

thank you

It’s good but not sure it’s quite long enough. Thank you. I could order and try. Was hoping for something slightly more “boho”!

I have a skirt exactly like the one in your OP, down to the pattern, which I made myself with some block print voile I bought on Etsy. If you can sew even a little bit you can easily make a maxi skirt, and there are loads of Indian block print cottons for sale online.

Free People might have what you want - though you’d have to interrogate provenance for every piece you like:

Has other colours. American company though. I last ordered from them a couple of years ago so I don’t know what the import costs are now.

My phone won't link for some reason but type Long Tall Sally pink boho maxi skirt into Google and it should come up. On sale at £20!

The Boden Lorna skirt hits the ground on me and I am 5’6”

I want one of these myself but why does everything have tiers?

Have you looked on madkollection? They have long cotton maxi skirts with pockets. I got a dress from them for my sons wedding and love it, it's based in the uk

Primark had some with pockets. My friend bought a couple. I was quite impressed, they were 100% cotton and available in black and white.

This is gorgeous! I love it in the blue/cream colourway as well

Passenger has a few - I don’t think they’re lined but they do have pockets
