I really really need a new skirt. That fits. Pencil or straight style, with pockets, elasticated material so I can move in it. Black. Oh, and covers my knees. You would think if I bought a skirt from a frum online shop it would do so. But no. Seems at 5 5 I am too tall to be tznius.

Also needs to come in large sizes.

I am in Europe but happy to buy online.

Just bought a skirt just like that from lord kitsch. But they probably don't ship outside Israel and it is courderoy so not summer material.

I think the company Esteez has skirts like that. I believe you can buy their clothing on Amazon or on their website.

You may need to have custom made

I know excellent seamstresses in NY

Maybe a European imamother can help you

I have. I love everything I got from there. It was always a perfect fit. A bit slow on shipping though...

Eshakti is great but not as cheap as it used to be.

I buy midi skirts. I'm not even 5'3" but need 27-27.5 inches to be comfortable in the length. Junees sells some. Macy's. The style nowadays (at least in America) seems to be midi or longer skirts, so you can get away with midi/maxi if you like those styles.

Other than that, to be honest, I haven't bought too many skirts in recent years for this exact reason. It's easier to find midi dresses that I like and then hem them a bit vs. finding a skirt that I like that has enough length.

Thanks all! Trying esteez since they seem to have a great selection and also use larger size models so I have an idea if they fit.

Will come back to this thread if those don't work out! Sad
