Vintage-Inspired Striped Victorian High-Low Skirt by Belle Poque

Amazon Customer: This skirt fits great! In fact it’s more comfortable then I was thinking. I was worried it would be too small and tight but it fits and I don’t have to worry thanks to the elastic on the back. Looks great too and the fabric is perfect. Would definitely recommend purchasing. I am using it for my pirate costume when I go to my local pirate themed Medieval Faire.

BeckyBecky: Ok, I like it, I really do, but I have some gripes. Color 4 is not in the slightest red as the seller's picture shows. You can see that from my image but I forgot to take a picture of it BEFORE I began to dye the dang thing and I'm really sorry about that. I was in "Must fix before weekend" mode and I just didn't think. The color is very much Halloween orange and black and I'm hoping dying it with synthetic fiber dye works. I don't know what it's made of but it can't possibly be a natural fiber. My money is on polyester, but I honestly have no clue. The color is really the only true big issue I have with it.

As for fit, which I was REALLY worried about, I'm a 2x top, 3x bottom (22pants depending on the cut) and I ordered up because... well that's just what us big girls do when we order online isn't it? I can make it work, but I should have ordered a 3x. I put it on without engaging the zipper because I just didn't realize it even had a zipper, so there's plenty of stretch. I tried it on with a skirt and a petticoat (a crinoline would be more comfortable imo) and had plenty of room. I'm glad it's not too small. Sometimes we run into Asian sizes when trying to find things...

Anna Poly: This is a beautiful yet light skirt, perfect for steampunk! I ordered a 4x and it’s a rather big on me, so it’ll be comfortable to wear out to all day events. I won’t worry about seams breaking open or stretching the pattern out of shape.
I’m very pleased with this skirt and I could have probably ordered the 3x and have it fit fine, it’s very forgiving.

LA WomanLA Woman: I bought this in February for Halloween 2018, for my Steampunk Costume. I start early on my costumes so that I may avoid any wardrobe issues in October, such as the one this skirt presents. Upon removal of the package it looked exactly as described... so I waited until late March to try it on. Some of you know what I mean when I say, I waited until after I lost all my 2017 holiday weight. Hindsight being 20/20, not the best idea. Long story longer I did not try on the skirt right away. By the time I did it was much too late to return. The bow on the back is not a bow. The photo is accurate but mine was sewn crooked so it didn't hang quite like the photo. I was forced to remove it and fix it myself. Unfortunately I have no pictures but buyer beware! Inspect your skirt and try it on immediately after purchase. Beyond the crooked stitching on the faux bow, the skirt is fantastic: and I would have given it 5 stars were it not for the shoddy workmanship.

UPDATE 01/31/19: I purchased another Large, Black & White stripped skirt in June 2018 and it was flawless the second time around. I was glad I tried again because it was perfect for my Halloween, Steampunk costume. The...

Amazon Customer: I am surprised that the 2x is a little big for me. But I love it. The stripes look more like a dark gray than black....But it is a costume for a wedding so I am not bothered by it. Thank you.....I love it!!
