    "Perfect fit"

      I bought this to be paired with the Boden Sophia Top. While it is great as a "set", the skirt itself can be coupled with anything from a sweater to a tunic. The fabric durable, yet lightweight and has a beautiful finished/polished look. I wear a size six consistently, and this is true to size.

        This is a wonderful skirt. Moves with you and it is comfortable, yet feels polished and professional. A tad on the smaller size, but it has plenty of give. Another beautiful Boden product!

          I travel often for work and this is the perfect skirt! I got the navy and know this will be a "go to" item for work. I plan on getting another color. Boden, I hope this becomes a staple item for all seasons. It's a winner!

            This amazing little skirt manages to hug my middle-aged bum in a flattering way. Classy and stylish. The length is perfect--to the knees but not below. Wouldn't be tight enough to suit my teenage daughter's taste but nothing matronly here! Subtly sexy and slimming.
            The grey marl is a seasonless color. Better for spring/summer than a black.It passes for a wool look.
            I bought a 4R.Very comfortable on my hips(35"). It's too big on my waist (24 1/2") but it doesn't gape enough to be a problem. I like this cut better than the cotton a-line skirts I buy every year from Boden. I'm too small for the 4s and too big for the 2s in the A-lines. This straighter skirt is just right in a 4R.
            I'd like to see this in a putty color. I'd LOVE to see this ponte done in prints and in this cut.

            Good basic skirt

            I bought this skirt with the matching blazer. My usual size felt a little too snug for a work skirt, and the next size up was too big. The only thing I'd change is adding a lining to the skirt.

            Very flattering fit & length

              I recently paced an order of 5 things - this skirt is the only thing I'm not sending back (the other things just didn't fit well unfortunately). However, the fit on this skirt is amazing. I think I have to order more in other colors! I got an 8L. I am 5'10" with wide hips (nearly 39") and a smaller waste, an hourglass figure. It is very difficult for me to find skirts that fit my hips & that are not overly loose and gaping on my waste or that don't flare out unshapely below the hips. This skirt actually tapers in at the waste and is tailored in nicely below the hips to hug your curves but in a classy way & not cheap & tight. Skirt lengths are usually either too short or too long on me but this one is just right. The length hits me just at the mid-top of my knees which is very flattering on my calves. It isn't tight & pulling anywhere (usually things are much tighter on my hips if they fit anywhere else) & is actually incredibly comfortable. It flatters your curves in all the right places. I really think this design would work well & be flattering on many body types. The contrast piping at the waste is a nice polished touch that goes great with a tucked in shirt.

                I really like this skirt. The fabric is nice and thick so there is good drape, and the cut is that of a very flattering pencil skirt. I am 5'6" and ordered the long and it finishes just below the knee, which I find preferable for work. The fabric, though a good weight, is a little clingy, however, so you will want to pair this with tights for a perfectly smooth line. Overall, this will be a very comfortable and stylish skirt for those long days at work.

                    I loved the fit so much that I purchased both available colors. Received lots of compliments from co-workers. Doesn't wrinkle easily and colors match with countless tops. Comfortable and classic.
