Chaka Skirt

Women's

This skirt would be perfect for any body type other than someone for whom extra weight sits around mid-waist. The skirt is very comfy, has very pleasant soft quality fabric and drapes nicely, but the wide waist band just cradles my little mommy tummy pouch making it look bigger than it is. Because the wait band is gathered on the sides it can't be folded over, and because of it's style (waist band begins above bikini line top and ends under belly button) it just creates a pouch for my pouch. Sad to send it back.

I have at least seven of these skirts. They are awesome. I am 6'1", 175 poundss with a straight, athletic lower body and the medium fits perfectly. I live in these! They are soft, comfortable,easy to care for, and wash up nicely (wash cold, shake out, lay flat or over chair to dry). I have found these skirts to be excellent to travel with, as the dark colors can easily be worn multiple times (Yay for light packing!). I do not put these in the dryer (I dislike putting heat to most of my clothes), and I have few wrinkles that fall out after I have worn the skirts for a short time. Hits just at/above the knees and I wear it low on my hips, my torso is very long. The skirt is very forgiving and the wide waistband stretches the longer you have it on, so definitely do not order up if you are on the fence. It does not get sloppy on me, it just relaxes a bit. These skirts are long enough to cover the important stuff, but are still fun and have a nice swing to them. They work great if you like to wear shapers/shorts under for more coverage on more active days. I live in Florida, and these are so much cuter, cooler and versatile than shorts. I have only had mine for a season, so I cannot speak to the durability, but all Toad&Co/Horny Toad products have worn very well, so I expect the same with these.

I LOVE the Chaka skirt. I own 5 of them in various colors and I wear them all the time. With flats, with sandals, with flip flops, with boots. It really just depends on the weather and where I'm going. You can totally dress the skirt up or simply wear it with a tank and flip flops. I'm 5'3" and 145 lbs with small hips but a curvy butt and thighs. I wear the Medium and it hits about mid-knee on me. Wash it on cold delicate and let it hang dry definitely!

I ordered the L and XL. The L fits ok, may run a little large. Probably would have kept it but the fabric seems a little thin. Finding a cool, breathable fabric that doesn't show every lump and bump is a challenge!

I own four of these magical skirts. The fabric feels comfy like a t-shirt, but looks much dressier and does not pill or get wrinkly. I have pretty much quit wearing shorts and wear these for summer (with light shapewear shorts underneath). I am a size 12, and the size L is slightly loose and very comfortable, but not so loose that it falls down or looks bulky. The cut of this skirt is very flattering. You can dress this down with a tank/tee and flips, or you can throw on dressy shoes and blouse and wear to work.
