Cute denim mini. Would pair really well with sun tanned legs and a pair of nude pumps.

Re: Items on eBay
Not sure that sitting on those pleats would be comfortable. Certainly not without a sweep or two and a bit of wriggling. Apart form that a nice looking number. I've not been on ebay to look for a skirt for ages.
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: Items on eBay
Probably a perfect fit for nzfreestyler ! LOL !
Now about sitting on the pleats having done the customary sweep -
forget about it that skirt is so short the pleats are going to be standing at attention -
and a bare or under-covered backside is going to be in contact with the sitting surface.
Why don't they ever have these skirts in much larger sizing ?
Pleats or no pleats.
Always the petite dang it !

"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Re: Items on eBay
Wouldn't dream of having anything to do with anything that short
I submit a nice little denim number I took for a walk along the banks of the Bann a few years ago. Wouldn't go shorter and that number had no back pleats to sit on.

Re: Items on eBay
It would fit me and the price is right but the back pleats put me off, which get scrunched -up when sitting on them, particularly if driving. I have a couple of similar skirts and don't wear them much because of the time it takes to rearrange the pleats after washing. I am intrigued that a stretch denim (3% elastane) can hold such a defined pleat - maybe they would spring back into place after being seated.
I prefer something with a ruffled hem which does not need pressing or something like Tom is wearing looks practical and low maintenance ......... and not tooooo long.

I think its a nice style - although I prefer to avoid pleats in a shorter skirt. It feels more modest with a tighter more fitted mini skirt than a full skirt in a mini style. From the pics - that skirt doesn't appear too short, I think it would be an easy skirt to wear.
as for sitting - well you get used to having your derriere on seats etc.... its par for the course in a shorter skirt....
Lucky for me I don't use public transport much cause I don't like sitting on those sort of seats. Its also really hot/cold depending on the weather and can be hard to sit down in a shorter skirt.

Re: Items on eBay
Interesting, it is made from neoprene and is waterproof ........... which makes sense. Says a size 2 (Ted), 10, S in the title but later says a size 5 (Ted), UK 16, US12 in the description ....... which is a worry as that is huge for the likes of us ........especially when so stretchy.
Not cheap at half the price though.

Re: Items on eBay
That is absolutely fabulous, Anthony. Such a thing couldn't be done to trousers.

Re: Items on eBay
You know, the skirt, for such a simple garment, can become immensely complicated!

Re: Items on eBay
Yes, I sure wish they'd have measurements in centimeters or inches (I don't care which.) Sometimes I message the seller with this question even if the chance of me buying it is very low. Just a male asking is good for our cause.denimini wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 1:55 pm Interesting, it is made from neoprene and is waterproof ........... which makes sense.

Re: Items on eBay
I do like the simplicity of skirts on a functional clothing basis .............. but I can appreciate a bit of nice design work .......... when I see it.
