THERE ARE NO NICE SKIRTS AROUND.Anyone up for a challenge?

[mrsmaidamess]

I was trying to skirt shop on Sunday (Tongue Twister)

Are there any nice skirts around? Are there heck.

I want A line or fuller. Knee length. Patterned. Darkish colours.

Something I can try on in a shop preferable to online, altho if its fab I may be brave.

Any takers???

I know what you mean, Next they have this:next check

Yeah I looked in Next, saw a nice kilt thing in the window.But it wasn't on the shop floor

So its not just me noticing the lack of skirts then!

White Stuff usually good for skirts,imo.

Plain but classic
Wallis jazz skirt

a bit Marni-esque? principles has quite a few worth looking at.

tartan

checks again

Hmmmm - there's not much out there though..

I like this one in Fat Face and another which also comes with pink instead of the purple bits.
Another from M&S but maybe not this!!

have a look at Boden

Dexter that last M and S skirt is hysterical! For when you want to look like a spanish senorita. God Per Una is crapola!

Thanks for suggestions. some are better than others! And as for that per Una number! My god.

I like some of the ones from M& S. But what a soul destroying experience trying to find them in my local jumble sale branch

Have you tried the white stuff they do fab skirts!

I like this one at Monsoon.

Nice shaped basic.

I also bought a wool, pleated knee-length skirt in black - and they have it in dark grey - from Matalan. It's fab and a bargain. No pic on website.

I got one quite nice knee length black suede type skirt from Matalan. Nothing else suitable there though. It was only about £12

I think that the type of skirt you describe (although very flattering and practical for lots of us) are very rare at present.

I will watch this thread with interest.

I like this one

ooh yeah I had forgotten about Great Plains. There is an outlet in my John Lewis.

I know the skirt of which you speak in Matalan, wool type in grey or black. they never have my size. Doh!

La T like that M&S plain one.

I'd wondered if it was just me - but I couldn't find a single skirt I liked after trekking all over Bristol and at Cribbs Causeway - kept looking at the cord and velvet skirts in the Toast catalogue - but can't afford them, so I've bought 2 cord skirts and two denim skirts on ebay to keep me going - all quite unusual skirts and v. nice - spent £19 in total so good for budget at least!

MrsMaid - I could have a look for you here. What size are you? Black or grey?

I want a high waisted skirt..
But can't find one anywhere..!
Anybody seen any around..?

White stuff have got some GORGEOUS ones
here here
I've ordered the Happy and glorious in the bluey green

opos just spotted the "anything I can try on in a shop" preference.
Worth a try - their sizes are pretty good adn reliable.

Ohh la T I've only just seen your last post.

I am a 14 and would want a grey. Would you really look for me? I would pay p+p obviously.

Will have a shufty tomorrow.

Lovely Jubbly

HI Maidamess - I've got your skirt. How do we do this? It's not wise to put personal info up here is it?
