Chiffon Midi Skirt

This skirt has a nice chiffon outer layer and the interior lining is a medium weight, black polyester knit. This knit lining adds warmth and weight to the garment. The chiffon falls nicely and looks feminine and dressy. Great price for a garment like this. My only regret was that the lining was not a black polyester georgette, which is a lighter weight fabric for warmer weather and the skirt then would have moved lightly when walking as chiffon should. It does a lot less moving because of the knit lining, as the chiffon hugs the knit lining somewhat. Still like it, but not as much.

I love this skirt. I bought it to pair with more casual items, like a chambray button up or t-shirt, and it works great. It can definitely be dressed down for everyday wear, although I also find it's fantastic for work as well, with a nice blouse and/or sweater. As a tall woman, most skirts and dresses are too short for me (barely covering my booty in any functional way), and for some reason maxi skirts look horrible on me. I love the fact that knee-length and midi skirts are coming back into style, and this is a fantastic neutral to start with. I would definitely recommend it! I wear a 14 usually, and the 1x fits great.

I own an Alex brand chiffon skirt that I purchased 18 years ago. It's time to replace it. I tried to purchase a replacement. The difference in quality was unbelievable. The newer one has cheap chiffon, a poorly sewn liner and is cheap looking on the hanger as well as on the body. Yuck! I would gladly play twice the price for twice the quality. I returned it. I guess I'll be wearing my old one for another season.........................
