I have brown and white gypsy skirts. Must confess to wearing them with a belt and a strappy vest top.

Mine's the size of a 'small county' hence the skirt in brown as white is most definately unflattering.

I love the skists but i am short so i dont think they suit me, i have one chunky belt but its not a circly one i pair it with my 3/4 length jeans i think it looks good for summer, i may be wrong but i dont give a monkeys, i love the gypsie look though howere being short and slightly podgy i doesnt work for me

Went to a BBQ on Sunday wearing my white one. Dh's step Gran (she's 91) retorted 'what are you wearing? - looks like the petticoat I wore under my wedding dress'

lunavix, only a county? mine is heading towards a sub-continent - Australasia perhaps.

Well I like the look. I will continue to wear the gypsey look with pride.

The combination of specifically the white skirts and those belts is starting to be a Londontown uniform and I am standing out like an old fart refusing to conform.
My arse is the size of Monaco.

charleepeters - yes, at 5 ft 3 and ahem a bit over the 8 stone weightwatchers tell me I'm meant to be I think I am the wrong shape for the look

gingerbear - yes, I'd say my arse is the size of a small county hence I think I can get away with the brown gypsy skirt, but not the white!!!

My DD has one in bright green - we team it with fake birkenstocks and no belt.

Given away all my tiered gypsy skirts to charity shop! Not only did I look the size of small planet in them, I do think they are too ubiquitous now, sadly.

I did like the belts but now I see them everywhere and so think they look cheap and plastic!
