Here are several skirts including a few new favorites.
~ Pleated Mini in Flecked Wool, size 8 ~
The flecked wool pattern was the same one used in the retail Tie-Waist Tweed Mini Skirt. This elastic pleating mini skirt is now a Factory staple, showing up all seasons. The retail version is the City Mini Skirt. This ran a little big and the elastic waist doesn’t give much shape.
The wool is lightweight, not too heavy and I like the subtle pinkish flecks throughout. Pockets are also an added bonus and lay flat instead of poking out.
~ Shirt-tail Mini in Houndstooth, size 6 ~
I loved the pattern on this skirt! If there had been a size 8 I probably would have bought it. Instant gratification and all that. This is also lined.
Tights, boots and an oversized or men’s gray sweater is how I would probably style this skirt. The only negative is the “shirt-tail”hem. I wish it was straight all the way around.
~ Flared Skirt, Black, size 8 ~
I have a few colors of the Fluted Skirt and just tried this on to compare. The material is just slightly thinner but not too much. The length is about the same as the retail version. If I didn’t have those I would get the Factory versions in Black, Navy and Ivory.
~ Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Wool, Heather Pine, size 6 ~
I loved this color! The green is deep and very saturated. The skirt is lined but I could feel the wool poking through the lining, which made it a little uncomfortable. I wouldn’t size up in this skirt. I am usually a size 6 in pencil skirts both retail and factory. The Pinot Noir is a gorgeous color IRL as well.
The Factory items are getting better and better each season. These skirts are no exception.
Have you tried the Houndstooth Mini or the Pencil Skirt in Heather Pine?
