Bookstore Belle Skirt

I love this skirt! However, I am 5'1, 135lbs, and it is WAY too long. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. If I do, I will have to alter it quite a bit. It's really perfect otherwise. The material is so soft and if flows nicely.

Yikes, ladies with bigger thighs (compared to body size) or other lower-body curves: take caution. It looks so lovely and demure on the mannequin, but on me it clung and highlighted every curve in the worst way and turned my awesome legs into a disaster. It would probably look awesome on someone with more uniform leg width, though.

This skirt is absolutely lovely, and makes me feel very feminine. The bottom-most color-block fabric (which, as others have said, is more neutral than pink) is slightly lighter-weight jersey than those above, which makes the skirt ripple becomingly with movement. FIT: I anticipated having to roll the waistband to wear it since my legs are short, however 2 things: the elastic was too big for my natural waist and was also very stiff (see first pics). The bottom-most row of stitching cracked when I pulled the skirt on for the first time, but that turned out to be a good thing b/c when I pulled that row of stitching out, it made the elastic less stiff/more stretchy AND made no difference in the attachment to the skirt (i.e. the elastic is better attached by a second, more stretchy set of stitching). NOW I can roll the elastic down a few times (as in 2nd photo) which makes the skirt shorter for me AND lets it sit at a more low-rise level (for my figure the natural-waist level just doesn't work with long skirts). FABRIC: The jersey is lightweight without being flimsy or transparent, and is super-comfortable. All- around I would highly recommend this skirt!
