Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
I saw this skirt featured in a Wall Street Journal story about luxe vintage fashions in today's (January 7th) Wall Street Journal. Now this is what I call a skirt, lots of soft pleats and I bet it would be sensual to walk around in. Now if it just didn't cost US$1.575 and have a 26" waist measure.
Oh my. That is a beauty! But at 45" long even I'd have to wear heels to keep the hem off the deck, not to mention the 26" waist measurement is about a foot too small.
Who could actually wear such a thing? The geometry boggles the imagination. (However, I imagine the effect would be electrifying.)

Even if worn at the Empire Waist and with heels the proportions would be way out of "A"linement.
Something about a lot of dress (skirt) and then a whole lot more of a skirt followed by a skirt made by Omar the tent maker !
"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 !

Good heavens, I didn't notice the stated length. I wonder if it is an error, I have a couple of 36" skirts that reach my ankles when worn with the waistband between my navel and pelvis bone. You've got to watch them when ascending stairs.
