Found "Masculine" Looking Skirts

[Departed Member]

I found some quite "masculine" looking skirts recently, masculine looking in that they look just like trousers, aside from that bifurcation issue.

The prices don't seem too bad either. I'd like to get one sometime, but can't afford them on my student budget as of now.

What think ye?

The unpleated one looks very similar to my DIY design:

The design needs very little adaptation and you could make one cheaper than buying one ready-made.

I liked those, PB. I happened to be in a military srplus store today, and noticed they had a few USMC women's skirts, used, priced at $3 each. Several were marked on the tags as size 14 US, but when I held them up they appeared much closer to a size 10, perhaps smaller, so I didn't buy one. The style was very plain, but the GI drab was a color that certainly suited me.

I like the first one. Front zipper, A-line and slant pockets make this skirt masculine indeed.
If I lived in the US I probably would order one but alas, shipping, Dutch customs fee and VAT will triple the price.
Moreover there is always the question of sizing. I have a 35 inch waist and have no idea what American size to choose.
A pity!

Thanks for posting that. Dickies makes a skirt similar in style, but not as full. This one looks promising too: http://www.modestapparelusa.com/modest- ... -sale.html.
