The Trellis Floral Skirt is an early new arrival for Spring. It reminded me of the quickly sold-out Collection No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Shadow Floral, but at a much better price point. I will admit I was a bit shocked to see it being sold for $89.50. Not that I’m complaining. I think we’ve seen iterations of these types of skirts for over $100. It’s nice to see the lower price on this beautiful skirt.
I ordered a size 8 in this skirt as some of my other skirts that had “Sits above waist” in the description were also size 8. That was the best choice. I vary between a 6 and an 8 depending on the cut, fabric, style, etc. But I have noticed that the “sits above the waist” vs the “sits at waist” compares to an 8 vs 6 for me. I take a 6 in Cotton pencil skirts and an 8 in the Wool, for example. If you are consistent in sizing then take your normal. If you are between two sizes then take the larger.
The A-line is just slight enough to not make this a pencil skirt but still very wearable for everyone. The side seams are not lined up but with such a busy print I don’t think anyone will notice.
But, the back zipper seam is matched up almost perfectly. The length is 20 inches and just perfect for me. On my skirt there was at least 1 1/2 inches to let out so some of you taller ladies could let out the hem. I don’t know if that varies on each skirt. It is lined in Poly.
Thanks for the review, I've been thinking about this one! J. Crew should do more like this.
What a lovely skirt. I'm so glad you reviewed it because it's been seriously tempting me to buy it. I wonder if I dare wait for a sale or if it will sell out
Looks 100x better on you! I'm so glad to see another take on this, and on the same day no less! 🙂
Thanks for the review. I have had this one my wishlist and seeing it look so great on you it may just jump into my shopping bag. You haven't by any chance tried the a line gabardine a-line skirt have you?
love it !
