Flattering skirt - plus sized but less so than I was!

Hi all

I am looking for a flattering skirt (or maybe I should be looking for trousers?!) for the festive period to wear with jumpers. So ideally not patterned?

I have recently lost 3.5 stone after having a baby but no where near what my body once was.

I am newly size 16 and very pear shaped.

please help!

budget under £120 please.

I just bought a long black satin skirt from Next. Looks great with a black roll neck and boots. I’m also a size 16. It has an elastic waist.

Or you could consider satin wide leg trousers with a fitted top

Congratulations on the weight loss. I've lost just under 4st over the last 18 months and can now shop in Zara again (I was too big for their clothes before)

I've just bought some long wide Bermuda type trousers from Zara, they look more like a skirt when on. I can wear them with shoes, high boots and DM's so they are very versatile. Zara have loads of skirts / trousers things at the moment, but i know their sizes tend to be on the smaller size.
