from 18 reviewsYou can tell this is high-end the second you put it on. The fabric has a nice structure but moves really well. I was worried it might look bulky, but the waistband sits perfectly flat and it’s very slimming through the hips. It’s hard to find simple pieces made this well anymore. Very happy with this purchase.
It is hard to find a rayon skirt and I loved the floral print. I bought it for a trip to Europe and it was so comfortable, although I did need to iron it a lot. It was super soft and flowy.
Bought the pink one to wear to a wedding. The size 10 was a tiny big but I am in between sizes. The fabric has a bit more of a shine than you can see in the photos, which made it more dressy. Highly recommended.
I bought the navy and it’s a dark midnight blue. Exactly what I was looking for. Simple, classic and feels like it’ll last a long time.
So glad I treated myself. The fabric is lovely and smooth. Usually these types of skirts are see-through but this one isn't at all. Really happy with the quality.
It’s the most beautiful fabric and vibrant colors. Usually I just wear it with a simple white top. Very well made and overall a very refined look.
Beautifully made and incredibly flattering. I’m already planning to order another one.
This skirt fits like it was made to measure just for me. Super flattering and easy to dress up or down.
I have pretty high standards and I was blown away by the attention to detail. The stitching, the material, everything feels premium. Even the lining feels like silk. Very pleased with my purchase.
Such a gorgeous fit. It’s definitely on the longer side, I probably should have got it shortened but looks amazing with high heels. I actually picked up a cream silk top to go with it and the whole look is perfect. True to size, the navy is a great classic color.
The quality is on another level compared to anything store-bought. I'm 5'3" and normally wear size 6, the 6 fit me just right. I got custom length and it looks great. Worth every penny.
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship. The fabric feels incredibly luxurious and the fit is perfect. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments.
It's a nice thick wool fabric that will keep me warm in my cold climate. I ordered a size 2, length 38”. It is a little snug but I wanted it to fit that way. For reference I'm 5'2” 115 lbs. I would order the skirt again... oh wait, this is my second time ordering. The first one was for my mom 🥰
Kate wrapped it up so nicely with such a thoughtful thank you note. She was amazing to work and talk with! I highly recommend!
