Sainsbury's stretch skirt
This morning I picked up a skirt at Sainsbury's. It has no labels apart from a 'Tu' brand hanging loop, but I would say it is a stretchy soft synthetic something. Very stretchy, which is great for me as I often have to climb over my raised garden railway at a couple of places along the line, and ordinary knee length skirts don't allow this without danger of trapping my knees inside the skirt and limiting agility. It looks like a wrap around but isn't - the front 'overlap' is simply a sewn in fold. Two large pockets. It's warm and very comfortable for these chillier early Autumnal mornings. I like it. £16 at Sainsbury's UK. Pete

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
no picture visible and based on the description I can't figure out online which it might be.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
You can see it here, green 'Wrapped A line skirt'. The colour wouldn't be my first choice but that's what it comes in.

How very inconvenient. Never mind, the photo doesn't matter as I've provided a link to the skirt online. Pete

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
Good score for the sixteen quid, Pete. Stretchy material makes a big difference in wearability, and in this case it's a good thing if you're moving around in your railway setup.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
I use IMJUR.COM it is free and is very easy to use for all of my photo sharing. It would be nice to see some photos of you railway too.
The skirt looks comfortable and is something I would wear.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
Let's see if this works...if so, thanks for the advice Fred
The necessary agility is required as shown to the left in the photo below. I'll sort out some railway photos for the off topic section - when I get a minute. Also I'll try to reduce the size of these things. Nothing's straightforward, is it?
OK, sorry about all these edits but I think we've got there by reducing photos on coraldraw before uploading to imgur.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
Yep. That works. It looks like a good workable skirt, too!

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
Glad to help with advice for picture posting. I like the skirt too. See my post on your other topic about the railway.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
The skirt looks good and I have a couple in that style from ASDA. BTW I quite like the Denim Embroidered Mini and the and the blue gingham skirt. Prices more reasonable at 9 quid as well. Unfortunately we don't shop at Sainsburys.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
Nice skirt, Pete. Don't see anything wrong with the colour, but I like green.
A couple of weeks ago I had to buy a few things on my way home from work so I went into a Sainsbury's and decided while I was there to see if they had any decent skirts. Came away with a short burnt-orange one in a stretchy fabric which had been reduced from £14 by 70% to £4.20. Not sure why they were selling it off cheap at the end of summer, as it seemed to me to be more one to wear with tights in the cooler times of year. Also the stuff left in sales is mostly the smallest and the largest sizes, so finding something I liked and as cheap as that in a 12 was a pleasant surprise.

Re: Sainsbury's stretch skirt
Thanks John. I'm constantly keeping an eye on new product at other stores but Sainsburys seems to have more of what I would feel comfortable wearing. I picked up another kilt style skirt a week ago in a green imitation 'tartan'. They're obviously of little appeal women though as their stock hasn't moved in weeks now.
