Good staple piece
5.4.2011-
"I love this skirt, I have the black in XS I"m 5'1 110) and it fits perfect. I really wanted the XS but it was too small, not a problem though because the XS worked out fine. I tried it on with a few tanks, slouchy sweaters and it works with everything. Can be dressed up with heels, or dressed down with some boots."

My go-to piece
4.3.2011-
"i LOVE THIS SKIRT. my black one is getting faded because i've worn it close to a million times, so I think i'll be buying another, but i'm totally ok with that! I bought a medium, just because in my experience with skin-tight materials that aren't thick body-con, sometimes you can see right through them...which no one wants. BUT, i don't have that problem at all with this skirt. I wear it during daytime, and nighttime. Also, sometimes i yank it up and wear it as a super-tight tube top with a pair of high-waisted shorts and a belt. super cuteeee. I wish i had better pictures, but here are some examples! ***TOTALLY WORTH IT, BUY BOTH COLORS*** also, i feel like i should add that you don't have to wear it so high. I fold mine over all the time, and sometimes i pull it up high, but just throw a cropped shirt over it. or a sweatshirt and some tights, whatever works. <3 happy shopping!!"

Must Have!!
1.22.2011-
"I bought this skirt last winter in black because the price was awesome and I wear it all the time. I had been waiting for the taupe color and it finally became available, so I snatched it up! I am 5'4" and around 117 lbs. I have the black in a small and the taupe in a medium (that's all that was available) and I think I like the medium better. It doesn't ride up as much. Both look great though!"

Great Skirt, so so quality
12.22.2010-
"The fit and style of this skirt is right on, and just as every other reviewer said, a wonderful staple to have in your wardrobe, and super wearable. However, after a couple washes it seems to lose its stretch, and has become a littler looser than I would like it to. Possibly could be solved by sizing down, but was overall slightly dissappointed in its longevity (I've had it about 3 months), but its pretty inexpensive, so not a huge deal. Definitely would still reccommend though."

Size up if you.......
12.2.2010-
"I decided to go up a few sizes than my normal size since this skirt seems to run tight, glad I did. My intentions were to wear this skirt knee length and the large was perfect for just that. It's not loose at all, thinking to go up a few sizes and all it would be, but not at all. The material is very stretchy and thin. Im glad I purchased the taupe color and hope this skirt brings out a lot of use."

Thin material
10.26.2010-
"I bought two skirts from free people. This one and the scrunch skirt. I decided to send this one back. The material is thin and hugging enough it shows any imperfections. I think for girls with nothing to hide, this would be a perfect very flattering skirt, but that is not me"

waist is a bit big

"i'm 5'8' and a half and weigh 150lbs and have a 25 inch waist and 38 inches around hips/butt and i bought a medium so it is a bit big in the waste but it fit fine everywhere else. i did not find that the skirt was at all see through but maybe thats because i bought the right size."

PERFECT!
7.29.2010-
"True to size. Makes my butt look great. Not recommended for big girls because it hugs every curve and shows every flaw. Which is not a problem for me but it might be for others. I'm 5'4'' 125 lbs and it fits like the model except goes down to right where my knee cap starts when it is at my waist. Practical simple and elegant! Can be dressed up or down and great for the price."

best fp item i've ever bought!!
7.2.2010-
"let me start by saying i've tried on a billion of these skirts and this one is BY FAR the most flattering AND the best value! i'm about 5'5" and usually wear a size 4 bottoms- sometimes 6 because i have a pretty curvy booty. but this was super flattering, hugged my curves just right while making my waist look tiny! i got a medium just because i was worried about it being too tight/see through, and it's perfect. the length is an inch or two longer than i'd prefer, but it's easy to scrunch it a little or adjust it so it's no problem. i've tried this on with about 10 different tops from my closet and it looks great with all of them! it's easily my new wardrobe stable- my advice is to buy this skirt asap!!!"
