Fun Skirt
2.18.2010
"Super Cute Skirt, I can't wear it as a dress though. I tried both the XS/S and M/L. I really don't like it when there is so much difference between the sizes. I went with the XS/S because the M/L was too wide although I needed the length. Overall it just doesn't come in the size I need which would probably be a S/M. I'm keeping it because it's looks really cute as a skirt but it is way shorter than in the picture. For reference I'm 5'5 and 124lbs."

Affordable Investment Staple
12.22.2009
"Soft, thin stretchy material that runs true to size. Versatile as shown in the picture, but beware it is verrryy short as a dress. The biker shorts that are available are a great option to put under this when you wear it as a tube dress. I also have the rugby tube in the turquoise to put under it below my waist or above my waist as pictured on the model which is really simply adorable. Wear it a million ways, and the price is unbeatable. MUST HAVE."

Cute as Everyone Says

"I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and agree with the positive reviews. This skirt is pretty darn adorable, and I have worn it many times already. I've worn it mostly in the summer so far, but it is definitely versatile enough to wear in colder months too."

ALMOST AS PICTURED...
10.16.2009
"But the material was not as expected. It was just SO close to being absolutely PERFECT, although I still think it was worth the money. (I had to ship it to California then to my country because FP does not ship to countries in Asia, sad.) The cotton it was made of was sweatshirt-like and not as soft and expensive looking as in the pictures, but love it anyway."

Ah-mazing!
10.6.2009
"Just bought this yesterday from an FP boutique and it's just divine. Firstly, anyone can wear this--it's stretchy and soft as could be and I can't imagine it looking bad on any body type. It's totally convertible as well, I'm 5'3" and I like it as a dress the best, but it can easily be worn as a skirt, bunched up in the middle or pulled down for a longer look. I see they only have black online, but the FP boutique I was in had a really pretty black and white (which is what I got) and another blue and pinkish one that was also very pretty and sweet looking. I recommend this piece to everyone!"

"So glad i got this!!! So versatile and pretty...can wear it so many ways like a different outfit everyday! Can't wait to get the striped tube..that would be the cherry on top..
My only worry, that the waist/chest part gets lose with time. Anyways, so chic!

"I got this in the mail the other day and was so excited about it! The fabric is really soft and comfortable. I have been experimenting with all the different ways to wear it and have been having a lot of fun with it. Great for nights out, a beach cover up, throwing on for class, etc...can be dressed up or down easily. Definitely a good purchase and a new staple in my wardrobe!"

cute dress/skirt!
8.27.2009
"This is really cute as a dress AND as a high waisted skirt. It's really versatile, but be warned of two things
the color is black, but mine seemed like a little bit of a faded black...(it didn't go with a black shirt I wanted to pair it with) AND, it doesn't work as a low waisted skirt. Being a convertible piece, the draping is not EXCELLENT, but its pretty good for the price :)"

great buy! sexy and versatile!
6.23.2009
"completely sold on the skirt as soon as i saw the outfit on the website (skirt/tube/belt)! i really love the flouncy hem of the skirt... very romantic feel for a jersey skirt. it skims away from your butt/waist (when worn as a skirt/top) if you're sensitive about those areas.
i received it two weeks ago and have worn it on two occasions: 1) coral tube top as a top with skirt high-waisted style for drinks at a swanky restaurant; 2) skirt as a tube top with coral tube top as a skirt underneath for a bbq.
bringing this combo to europe in the fall as part of my travel ensemble :D."

Perfect summer staple
6.10.2009
"This skirt/dress/top is too cute! I wore it as a tube top dress in the afternoon, threw on some jeans and wore it as a top in the evening. It also easily becomes a roll-over waist skirt. The fabric is a thick jersey so that you feel comfortable in it. Even though it is a simple piece it can be worn many ways and is a great buy at $38."

Let me count the ways...
5.31.2009
"I purchased this skirt online and I really like it! I am 5'2, 117 lbs with a 34B bust, so I got the xs/sm size and it fits just right. This skirt is simple yet you can do so many things with it. It can be worn alone as a mini dress, it can be worn with a top and then folded or scrunched down to become a skirt etc. It's very versatile.
Even though I think it's a little bit overpriced, I think it is a good purchase and I can't wait to wear it."

"I bought this because I loved how you could wear it so many different ways. I have to say I was also sold on the black striped tube to wear with it...and both look great on their own, or of course, together as shown.
This skirt/dress is great quality and I know it will last. I usually wear a small and the xs/s fit perfect."

Cute!
5.26.2009
"Just got this guy in the mail on Friday. The verdict? A really cute and easy piece to wear. You can wear as a high waisted skirt or you can fold down the waist so it is more like a mini. Bonus: you can also wear as a very flattering tube top or a short and sexy dress. The fit is easy, just pull it on, and the fabric is a soft and stretchy jersey."
