MBJ Womens Lightweight Floor Length Maxi Skirt - Made in USA

Comment

Beautiful color--true to picture. But about 8" to FOOT longer than expected, dragging on the floor about 6-8" when worn at the waist (I am 56"). I solved th is by pullint the skirt up over my bust, like a strapless dress, and wore my V-neck blouse over the top, making it appear as though I had a perfectly matched camisole under my blouse. Otherwise, I would have had to return this or else cut and hem it on a serger.

I have to admit, I pretty much have their tops and maxi skirts in every color available in my size. They tend to run big, so dont be afraid to buy snug--their pieces are very stretchy. Recommend buy one and then judge the sizing from there. The only complaint I have is that I bought the tops and skirts from the same company hoping they would match and that I could create these killer coordinated outfits. Not a dingle dye lot matched--not even black. Granted, most are close enough that If I put two skirts on so that there is a layer between the two "blues" or whatever color, its not too bad. It would be nice if they could match dye lots or develop some sort of standard for their colors. Also, treat them with much respect in the wash. Use delicate and delicate dry or they will pill up really fast. Overall, a fun, one or two season purchase that provides a lot of flexibility.

The fabric of this skirt is very comfortable. Originally I bought a bunch of similar maxi skirts by um, Merona? from Target a couple of years ago. I think this fabric is a little softer than those. My skirt is not see through, I however, since the skirt is a tad lighter than I expected, I would say that certain colors are probably a little see through. So I will be ordering more, but sticking to the darker colors. I recall reading some reviews that stated the waist part was a little snug or too small for them. So my take on the waist part is that the little elastic or whatever that is there, that I suppose the purpose of is to hold the skirt in place is a little snug. However, it was more like a "trying to tighten to your size" type of snug. It is not uncomfortable to me. I am currently pregnant and was already a little heavy but I think I will be able to manage wearing it along the way. I am currently 192 lbs and 54". I ordered the medium based on reviews, and if need be for the pregnancy I may order a large if the little band part becomes uncomfortable. However, I think if I would have originally ordered a large, the skirt may have been too big for me, so I am currently pleased with the medium.

I ordered Small in Olive and Merlot. I am 55", 115 pounds. They both fit comfortably, with room to spare, i.e. not tight around my waist. The design and material of this skirt allows for a pretty wide weight spectrum in each size because the skirt is flowy, very elastic and loose. If you pull them up well above your bellybutton, they hang about two inches off the floor. Folding over the waist band could work but youd have to cut off the skirt label/tag and that leaves marks from where it was sewn on. With heels (at least 3.5" heels), the length would be okay. But if you like a skirt to hang comfortably at or a little below your navel, you will pick up floor grime from your sweeping skirt hem. The Olive color is like the photo, maybe a hair more muted/less richly dark. The Merlot color is NOT like the photo which portrays a deep, deep blood red. It is a rosy burgundy in real life. The material is stretchy and soft but VERY thin, and wrinkles semi easily.
