“I wanted so much to keep one of these tennis skirts in one of these beautiful patterns -- but they just didn't fit. I am 5'4" and 135 pounds with an athletic build (slim hips). I am in reasonably good shape for my 67 years. Most people would say I look fit. I am accustomed to waists being tight in some brands since I have slim hips and, like most older people, my waist elasticity is just not what it used to be!
I started with a size medium which almost always fits me. In this line, I felt like I was squeezing myself into a tight tube. I recognized immediately I needed to upsize to a large. Sometimes if a manufacturer has true sizing and a tight fit, a large is a more comfortable size for me. When I received the large, it too was fairly tight. My little bit of belly clearly showed and my loose waist was bulging over the top. At this point, I was forced to accept the fact that I just can't wear this brand with the beautiful patterns.
The company's customer service was terrific. Although mostly online, they answered me quickly both times I contacted them. They twice made adjustments to the price to make sure I got the "new customer" discount that I clumsily did not enter correctly on both purchases. They were so great.
I'm sorry it didn't work out!”
Hi Lois -
Thank you for the feedback! We are sorry to hear the skirt did not work for you. I'd like to suggest the Court Skirt, it is a 14.5'' skirt but in size 2 (L) it will be approximately 15.5''. This style has a compression waistband and an elastic at the top, it's been a great addition to our line. We are currently offering 35% off site-wide so now it would be a great time to try!
Thank you.
