Customer Reviews Royal Robbins Discovery Skirt

On a recent trip managed to get gum stuck on my skirt. With a bit of soap and water the skirt looked good as new. Love the pockets. It will always be in my backpack.

Great travel skirt. Took it with me on vacation to Hawaii. I love skirts with pockets, even better. The pockets that actually work and the skirt is very cute and easy to match.

I love this skirt. I bought 3 of them. I wear them all of the time. They are so comfortable and much cooler than wearing shorts. They wash and dry great.

I purchased this skirt in three colors and (please don't be jealous) wore this skirt to China, Australia, Maine, and Hawaii in the past 12 months. The best skirt for travel! Can wash it in the sink and it will dry overnight. Does not wrinkle and packs well (nice and light) The pocket held my passport. I am 5'6 and the size 14 falls at the bottom of my knee.

I absolutely adore this skirt. It definitely runs large - at least a size or even two. It's so cute and comfortable, and the pockets are fabulous. I like it so much that I'm probably going to order at least one other color in addition to the black one that I currently have.

Wonderful stylish fit! I had to order 1 size smaller than usual. I adore this skirt. I ordered in the black. Taking this to Hawaii for outdoor fun and then to lunch afterwards to look a little pulled together! A great find! Nice length not too long or short. Modest.

Love this skirt. Comfortable, fabric has a little give to it. Good coverage, not too short, not too long. Fun style with a flirty flounce at the bottom and extra pockets to stow a cell phone or a couple bucks. Runs large, I usually wear a size 8 or 10 and the 6 fits me perfectly.

I am joining the bandwagon of those who love the skirt and also advise that ordering on the smaller side is advisable. I am trying to find cute casual clothes (not shorts as I'm getting a bit old for shorts outside of the gym) that I can wear during the summer. This skirt fits the bill. It is very flattering...and much more so once I exchanged the 6 (my usual size) for the 4. I think this skirt would work well on women of many different ages. Very comfortable too!

I love this skirt. I now own two different colors. It is cool and comfortable to wear. If you prefer to not wear shorts (like me) this is your answer.

Thrilled with this skirt. I bought the 10 and 12, am returning the 12. I didn't think there was a whole lot different between the two and would consider myself more of a 12 than a 10 right now. It washes beautifully and hangs nice. Definitely casual but in a more dressed up way. Tried it with a blouse and a spaghetti strap shirt and both looked nice.

This is a great skirt, that's all there is to it. Fits perfectly, comfortable, cute, easy to care for. I think I'm going to buy it in another color.

Wearing these skirts since 2010. Material seems thinner than original skirts. Need to make in "tall" sizes. Us older folks need a little more length. Sadly returning

This is a good skirt for everyday wear. I like the fabric - doesn't wrinkle and the skirt travels well. I'm 5'8" and it covers my knees.

Nice Skirt, but hangs too low on hip. The skirt is too loose even at its smallest size. I'd much prefer fitted at the waist with a longer drop. It looks like a square when I wear it. Material and styling otherwise are nice

I am 5'5" with a 29" waist and 38" hips. Size 4 is too big. I could wear it low on my hips but have instead ordered a size 2 hoping it will hang at my waist. The fabric feels durable and the style and cut are simple and flattering so I am looking forward to getting the smaller size for my upcoming travels.

This skirt is definitely nice and practical. However, I don't like how it flares at the hem and the waist sits kinda funny, especially if you have a little belly to hide. Overall, I think it will just move around too much, and I prefer my skirts to sit nice and cozy.

LOVE the style and fabric of this skirt--can't wait to wear it on several trips this spring. If you're ordering one, I suggest ordering down a size. I'm 5'5", 125 lbs. and reliably a size 6, but this skirt in a 6 was enormous on me. Even the 4 is loose around the waist, but I don't want it any tighter in the hips, so I'm keeping the 4. Thanks, Zappos for your easy returns!

This is a great skirt for traveling, I would like to have one in khaki as well. Sizing runs big as I normally wear a 6/8, and the size 4 fits loosely on me. Light weight, minimal wrinkling, and sturdy but soft fabric. The color is a bit of an odd grey to me, but you can work with it.

I loved this skirt, but it runs extremely large. First I ordered it in my usual size (4) and had to return it. I reordered in size 2, which was still too large in the waist. The sizing is definitely off, because I have never worn a size 0!

I'm really happy with this skirt, but prospective buyers should know that it runs huge, especially in the waist. I'm 5'8" with a fairly thin build but slightly wide hips, and I usually wear an 8 in skirts, but I had read reviews that this Discovery Skirt ran very big so I ordered a 6. But even the 6 was crazy big in the waist. I returned it for a 4, which looks pretty good yet still a tad large in the waist. I got the "soapstone" color, which is not quite as bright a cream color as I had hoped, but a dull clayish. Despite these slight disappointments, I still really like it...and I'm very picky about clothes.

Love the top part but the ruffle on the bottom was too stiff and too much material. Definitely order down a size if in-between.

Think this would have been a great little summer kick-around skirt if it had fit me properly. Unfortunately I had to return it because I found it to run very large in the waist - very 'square' cut. I am a pretty average sized 8 or 10, brand dependent, and the 10 in this skirt was so big that it almost dropped right off me. Must just be this brand (for me, personally, and my body shape) because I also ordered a pair of their black crop pants and the waist on those was also too large on me. I like the skirt enough that I might order the 8 and see how that fits. Other than the sizing, loved the idea of the skirt...nice non-clingy fabric for summer, good length (not so short that I felt too old to be wearing it), sporty, goes-with-everything, easy care.

This was a cute skirt, but the fit wasn't good for me. It was comfortable in the waist (ordered a size down, like everyone recommended, and it fit fine there), but was too snug in other areas (which looked very awkward, if you know what I mean). It also hit me about mid-knee, which looked dowdy on me (I'm 5'5''). Disappointed, as I think this would have been a great travel skirt.
