Please find me a burgundy skirt in nice heavy fabric to suit pear shaped, petite size

Can any clever stylish types help?

I tend to suit wrap skirts in heavy fabric rather than satin which clings on my hips. Something that can take a belt always looks good as my waist is smallish.

I'm a short arse, size 6-8. To be worn with brown knee boots.

For a special occasion so happy to go up to about £200...I like Boden, Reiss, The Fold.

A LOT of clothing drowns me so nothing too voluminous!

I might order it and try it. Other suggestions welcome top!

If you have a good waist it might work. Fabric seems fairly thick.

There are a lot of more plain shaped ones around but I'm short and they would drown me so probably not what you want.

Lots of pleated ones about or Seasalt and Whitestuff have some nice cord skirts but more every day than special occasion.

Never Fully Dressed do a nice faux leather wrap skirt that could work?
