I love this! I love this!
Although I was SO SAD the last time I wore it, I felt like I’d gotten TOO fat for it! But I opted for a wrap around this summer because I have been having a LOT of health issues and I’d gone from a 4 up to ? I don’t even know anymore honestly. My weight fluctuates, and the idea of a wrap skirt that I could control the “tightness” sounded like THE key piece of my summer wardrobe! I LOVED the poppies print. I hunted EVERYWHERE for a “longer” skirt version, but sadly, there was not ONE SINGLE other brand or style with this particular print! Which is so weird because I mean, it’s Amazon! You’ve seen one print, you’ll see it EVERYWHERE! But this one seemed to ONLY exist here! Which, I guess makes it special! The one thing I DIDN’T want this summer was that “boho” print. It’s bad enough I had to deal with the ruffle at the bottom. But, in the poppy fabric the ruffle wasn’t actually THAT bad. It didn’t HAVE that same “boho” vibe as when you wear the “boho” printed fabric. Which I was NEVER into, but, I mean, it was honestly some of the ONLY prints you could get in wraparound for a few years. I’m so happy that we are stepping away from it again! FINALLY!!!!! And that polka dots are NOT the ONLY alternative, or a solid color. I hate that THOSE have been the options! Now, I want to talk about the wrap around fashion of this skirt. I know a LOT of people have complained about it. This is STILL a TRUE wraparound fashion. It’s done up like a bathrobe. You have your inner tie, and then your outer tie. True, some CAN and wrap around your body to tie wherever. This is NOT that style. You have the inside left, and then the outside right. So, for me, who wanted to have the ability to “loosen it” this wasn’t SO easy. But it also wasn’t THE worst option either. It gave me different wiggle room to play around with. And I had. This was my “go to” for when I would leave the house only because I COULD adjust the waistline and not feel “trapped” in a garment. Ever since catching covid I have really been struggling with the way clothes hang on my body, and the fact that I can have control in the way that this hangs on me is the best addition. I really hope that we get MORE true wraparounds to come. Now, the quality of the fabric. The quality is… OK. And I say this in the fact that after the first or second time that I wore this. And I don’t wear clothes like “normal people 😆.” I wear clothes for leaving for a doctor appointment, and come home and change into more comfortable as soon as I can. So I’m not in “street” clothes for a full day. But, I began to notice peeling around my hips and behind. I assume from one of the bags that I’d carried one of the times. Which was truly disappointing that that little bit of friction would create that much peeling on the fabric. No, it’s not a dealbreaker. But it is indicative of a lesser quality fabric. Which, I mean, look at the cost. However, compared to OTHER brands and the cost of their skirts on Amazon. This one isn’t all that cheap for the fabric to be THAT cheap. So, it’s just something to be aware of. Recommendations/ Gifting? Yes! I would. I mean, I’d probably warn whomever that this fabric WILL peel, and to be careful and take precautions against the peeling for that express purpose. But the fashion is cute, the fit is nice. Even with my expanding and shrinking waistline. And the print, it’s unique! I can say with utter assurance that WHEN I bought this back in May, April? There was not ONE OTHER garment online that had that print! I tried! There wasn’t! So it’s unique JUST to this company. Which, is rare anymore! So you can own it knowing you’re a “snowflake” in the Amazon world of fashion. And if you see another with it, know that you’re wearing the same brand! Instead of JUST recognizing an amazon print/ style. Read more
