Love these :D To bad they don't have larger sizes.
I take a US 24/UK 28 but with this great price, I'm
sure the shipping to the U.S. would more than double
the cost of the garment. :(

Often wondered why postage was so expensive between UK and US. Far east and Oz is cheaper and only best part of 3 times the distance . Many a time I have seen a motorcycle part I wanted on Ebay, looked at location, seen it was US and not bothered. It's the postage which makes or breaks a bargain.

That looks like a very nice design. I especially like the "Amethyst Bright" one, although the "Raspberry" and the checked ones look pretty good, too.

The sad thing is that the available lengths are too short for my tastes. The 25" one drops to just below my knees, and the 29" sits right at an awkward part of my leg geometry and would look frumpy. Drat.

Their website is totally inflexible and does not cater for delivery addresses outside the UK.

Tried privately to organise posting for a part I needed from US- still horrendously expensive, so cancelled.

I like the look of those skirts and 25" is the length of a lot of skirts I'm comfortable wearing out. The box pleats are more "skirty" than I wear out now, but on the other hand I'm now wearing skirts out that a couple of months ago I wouldn't have. I'll have to see if I can find something similar from the US since others report they don't ship out of the UK.
