Ok, I'm dead fat and I want a nice crepe/jersey panelled or swishy knee length skirt

to wear with my nice long, fit my fat calves duo boots

I went to Monsoon today and the only ones they had were those prom type ones that flared from the waist. I looked like something you would put on a (large) wedding cake.

I want one straight at the waist and flarey going towards the knee.

There is one in M and S online in plain black which I'm going to buy but I want a nice colour like brown/patterned but not old lady like. Like the Carrie-ish one in SATC in Paris, black and white chiffon elongated stripes (I wish) which was by Sonia Rykiel

Size 18/20

sorry meant the brown one

I like the black and white one a lot, just wondering if there's too much material around the thighs?
