I want a classic knee length A-line denim skirt. Has anyone seen any around?

Having trouble tracking one down. Don't mind what shade, but prefer dark denim.

LK Bennet have a great one at the moment in a rush so can't link to it but sounds just what you are after.

Noddy Holder, thanks for that offer. Wrong size though, sadly.

The White Stuff one is lovely (I have it and have to stop myself from wearing it every day )

noddyholder · 10/03/2009 08:52

I have just got it out.it is part of that 1969 vintage range has seams and the bottom edge is slightly frayed.It is a gap 10 uk 14 really lovely shape actually

fishie · 10/03/2009 08:52

boden one is in post to me. i will review it if you like.

really not sure about that pleat, i have a tum but no bottom or hips so it might be ghastly. hoping that high waist thing is flattering.

Is the White Stuff skirt just over the knees or does it cover them? I hate my knees.

noddyholder · 10/03/2009 09:24

Yes please Fishie, would be interested to hear what the Boden one is like, had my eye on it but also unsure about the pleat.

The White Stuff one looks good too... got very distracted looking at other stuff on their website as well and have discovered they have a shop close by so will pop in for a look.

JJ - the White Stuff skirt is just below my knees (I'm 5'7").

Its a lovely soft denim so hangs really nicely. Some that I saw were too stiff.

JJ · 10/03/2009 14:47

Ooh, thanks, have ordered. I checked their site for a denim skirt last week but must have missed it! Thank you thank you.

fishie · 10/03/2009 18:43

boden skirt is dead flattering! i got a size smaller than usual and the high waist has squashed my tum into submission without being too muffiny.

neat fit over hips / bottom and pleat doesn't start too high and look like an erection (which i was a bit worried about). finishes above knee, i am 5'5".

the denim is rather thin though.

Nabster · 10/03/2009 18:45

Too to admit I don't know really what A line means but I would love a denim skirt too to wear with my black new boots. Decent bum but a mummy's tummy.

beansontoast · 10/03/2009 19:03
