that's cute

purplepeony · 01/09/2009 09:24

sorry- yuck- it's 70% polyester.

foofi · 01/09/2009 09:27

It's horrible in every way.

janeite · 01/09/2009 15:26

Oh I like the shape of that and it would suit me but would need to see in the flesh to know if it looks all polyesterish and therefore cheap.

chattermouse · 01/09/2009 15:30

I like it!

giveloveachance · 01/09/2009 15:41

its ok but looks awful with the heavy black tights.

sayanything · 01/09/2009 15:43

Oh why why why don't they have it in wool?

CybilLiberty · 02/09/2009 16:36

janeite it is really very 'heavy' and looks much more expensive than that typically AWFUL M & S shot on the website.

It's sort of pencillish with a twist and made my arse look tres pert.

Will have a look as I do really like the shape. Not that I need new skirts though. I sorted out my wardrobe the other day and had about 20 skirts but hardly any tops!

deaddei · 02/09/2009 18:47

I never wear skirts, but like the shape of this one.
I may have a look.

AnybodyHomeMcFly · 02/09/2009 18:50

Cute. And the waterfall jacket is nice too.

CybilLiberty · 02/09/2009 19:39

this again looks SOOO square in the picture but was so nice on, really good quality and a good staple.

That is v nice.

noddyholder · 02/09/2009 21:09

I like that a lot

slyandgobbo · 02/09/2009 21:11

I like the look of that - how does it come up sizewise? Am fat 10 / smallish 12.

Heated · 02/09/2009 21:18

I do really like it but not sure about pockets near the waist - will the make hips look wider?

Also wondering about tulips skirts - do you think only petite women can really wear them?

CybilLiberty · 03/09/2009 14:12

slyandgobbo I am a porky 14 atm and it was perfect for me. So you may getaway with a 10.

HeatedThe pockets near the hips do not add any bulk (I am more than bulky enough there already.)

If my job didn't involve rolling around on the floor and getting trodden on I would have bought both of them.

The model in the video is wearing a size too big IMO. it's not that long or low on the hip.

janeite · 03/09/2009 18:26
