The fabric of this skirt is awesome for an active lifestyle. All of the pockets are a real plus when out and about too, as one doesn't need to bring along a bag for really anything...maybe just a good way to carry water.

I regret that I didn't buy other colors (I was being frugal, and this Soapstone was the least expensive). I like the cut, with the bit of flounce at the bottom that creates a distinctly feminine effect on a very practical (with all those pockets) piece.

The reviews I read spoke of how large the piece runs, and it is true. I purchased two sizes smaller than what I have been wearing lately in most clothes, and the fit is generous enough across my ample hips that I am surprised. I really MUST have it tailored at the waist though. My waist is significantly smaller than my hips (probably 12 or 13 inches smaller right now), and this causes the skirt to shift upward quite a bit. If I have it tailored to fit better at the waist, this will certainly be reduced.

For anyone who has smaller hips or perhaps carries a bit more weight at the waistline, this will likely sit very well and become one of your top go-to skirts! And it will be one of the smallest sized items in your closet - who doesn't love that?
