You'd be doing a service to the world.

Clothing in Brooklyn in general is not made for curvy ladies. Unless you're Holocaust-thin, then boxy clothing simply looks strange or unflattering. Which leaves people whom can't find well-tailored clothes stranded in various forms of polyester and shells, which are both kind of strange, and murder in the summer heat.

I dont know what size you are, but I am OBSESSED with this skirt, I have it in a bunch of colors. The plum looks great with black tights and its not a super heavy skirt. I wear it in the summer with black leggings. The charcoal and navy mix look good also. If the Dallas skirt is too big for you, look further at the Esteez skirts on amazon, its also available in smaller sizes.

This is the Dallas (larger sizes)

This is the Chicago (smaller sizes)

these skirts are awesome but how do the sizes work? Like the model is wearing a size small but it basically looks spray painted on her. Im pretty skinny/average (5"6 and 130 pounds) but I feel like Id need a size large or extra large so it doesnt show every lump in my backside. What size would you recommend?

. The reason I love Esteez the most is because the owner, Annette, is a frum plus sized woman who models the dresses in the photos as well. It is actually the reason I bought my first item from them - I could picture myself in the skirts. But I was still not sure so I messaged her on facebook and she wrote back immediately! And she helped me find the right skirt and size for me. She is also very active on instagram, if you are on there.

Anyway to answer your question, I went with the Dallas in a 1x. I did not want a super tight skirt over my larger backside. They ARE pencil skirts so they will be tighter, so I do wear longer tops that cover my backside. If you size up, it is not likley to fall off of you if you wear it over stockings/tights/leggings, etc. I have a smaller waist and large thighs and tush so my skirts are always looser in the waist, and in this skirt its totally fine. Does not look odd at all. I highly recommend you ask her though for your specific needs.

Also, there is a sizing chart on Amazon and also on her site. Use that!
