High Waist Cotton Skirt

Just bought this skirt at target. It is grey, has pockets, and has a soffe-like elastic band. What kind/color shirt should I wear with it? Where should it go on my waist? I really like it and I need to figure out how to pair it with something. Advice would be great thanks!

If it is a flowy skirt than you probably want to pair it with a tighter fitting shirt, lots of colors look good with grey and if the skirt is all one color than i'm sure even a patterned shirt would look good with it. (if it is a tight skirt than wear a looser fitting shirt)

wear the skirt at the smallest part of your waist (pretty high up) this will make your waist look even smaller, and looks super cute =DD

hope this helped!

The "Cotton Spandex Jersey High-Waist Skirt"

If you have it in an XS could you please measure it and tell me how long it is?

Thank you!

Small is approximately 22 1/4" (56.5cm) in total length so i imagine the xs would be very similar if not the same

I've recently gained a little weight and have had trouble finding cute clothes that fit me at the stores I normally shop in. I don't want to sacrifice clothes that are my style and can't seem to find anything I like in my size. I want to wear a cute, high-waisted skirt for new years and have decided to make one or have one made that will fit me.

I want it to look a little something like this:

^I hope that link works, but if it doesn't, I'll describe what I want: high waisted, I don't want the waist band to be stretchy I'd rather have a zip closure, a band/bodice type piece at the top with a puffy bottom.

Do I have to have a pattern to make a skirt like this? Could I sew it myself with little to no sewing experience? I have relatives who know how to sew but they're older....would it be difficult for them to make? I want to use a heavy fabric, probably cotton but not thin cotton. I want it to feel sturdy and well made and have the puffiness keep it's shape. Do I need to line it?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Not difficult... it's basically a standard skirt with a wider, shaped waistband. However, that particular skirt has pockets or a shaping seam that accentuates the hips. In a heavy cotton, is that really going to flatter you?

There are a number of hours of work in this skirt, particularly if it's not made just like a pattern, and if the pattern has to be adjusted for you. To have it made, unlined, exclusive of the costs of the fabric and notions, would be about $120-150 around my part of the world (PNW US), so please be aware that you're asking for a fair amount of work from your relative(s).

Personally, yes, if I were going to make this skirt, I would bone the waistband and underline and line the skirt. But that's me.

Got a good photo of yourself in something form fitting, like a leotard? Superimpose that skirt on your body (or just sketch it over a print) and see what you think. This is called a "croquis" (pronounced "croakie") and it's a good tool for deciding what you want to do. It's all about proportion.

Comfortable Stretch Fabric, Matching Wide Belt Included, Center Back Slit, Hidden Back Zipper
Figure Flattering Shirred Waist Detail, Sophisticated High Waist Style
Please check your measurements to ensure you select the right size. This petite skirt style runs smaller than women's sizes, we recommend you order 1-2 sizes up from your normal women's clothing size.

Okay so here's my dilemma: I am 21 years old this year (female) and only recently has there been a huge population of people either telling me I look very young.. or guessing my age to be within the 15-18 years old bracket. And this absolutely sucks because I want to look my age or even older if possible.

I've asked one of my gooood male friends to point out the main reason why others might see me as a 15 year old kid. He says it's mainly my style of dressing?!
It was ~18 deg celsius when i met him for coffee one day and i was wearing thick black tights (stockings) and denim shorts and a leather jacket. He pointed that out and said my outfit would be what a 16 year old would be caught wearing.. not a 21 year old?!
Anyway..
OK so here's what I typically love wearing in summer:
-denim shorts in summer with cute colourful loose printed swing tank tops
-short printed cotton summer dresses
-high waist short skirts with a cute frill blouse tucked in

i mostly wear flats of flip-flops too.

okay so i mainly like summer cos I don't have to layer up and look bulky.
Do i sound like i'd be a 16 year old girl with my clothes choices?

What sort of clothing should I wear that would reflect my age? I don't want to look like a grandma with long skirts and dresses and stuff. I want to look trendy yet mature/elegant.

HELP?!

Why would you want to dress old?

and of course opaque, i mean non transparent skirt that you can't see through; not latex, leather or pvc.
Just a normal miniskirt in cotton/spandex that you can wear normally in the street.

ps : don't tell me to try ebay, i've already try it whitout success. Tell me a website who sells it normally.

Topshop has some! Look at their pencil skirts. HTH
