Customer Reviews XCVI Gored Peasant Skirt

I did not like the jersey waist band on this skirt compared to the drawstring midi length version that I have and love. Solid construction and the skirt has a fun, flirty, lived in look. Fit is true to size. I am returning it but do like the brand and look of other skirts in this line.

Loved this skirt but it also had some things that I hated. I'm 5'8" and was looking for a skirt to my ankles. It looked like this would be it but when I tried it on, it hit me about a quarter the way up my leg at a funny spot. Made it look even more off when I tried it on with heels. Also didn't like the waist. If unrolled, it goes all the way up to your bra. So if you fold it once down around your waist, it just increases your waistline making you look like you have a prego pooch. It's all cotton so more of a casual skirt. The skirt itself is beautiful though. I'm a size 4 so I ordered the xs due to what others were saying. I thought the xs was too tight in the rear and should've ordered the s. I ordered both the black and the plum color (which is 100% plain grey). I did notice that the grey one was a lot tighter. Even my husband noticed it when I tried them both on for him.

Having read all the positive reviews I was expecting a great skirt, but to my surprise I received the most awkward and weird piece of clothing I've ever seen. There is no rhyme or reason to this skirt, it is crooked both on front and back, one side is longer than the other and the fabric weirdly sticks out at several places and it looks pooched on the hips and knees.. No smooth connection between the pieces, looks like it all was just randomly sewn together...just awful. It does feel very comfortable on the body and the material is good, but the look of it is just too odd. Or maybe this one was just defective.

I'm honestly shocked at how flattering and elegant this skirt is! I only took a chance based on reviews and I have to say, this far exceeded my expectations! The skirt is SO pretty, comfortable and the large thick waistband folds over and has a firm hold - you can adjust the length of the skirt based on how much you fold it. I don't know how it can be this flattering when there is so much 'gathered' fabric, but it's absolutely beautiful. I can see this easily being a 3-season skirt here in the Midwest, year-round for those who live in a warmer climate. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves wearing maxi skirts, it's such a different and beautiful addition to your wardrobe!

This is my go to lazy day skirt. It's very comfortable

Love this skirt - stylish and super comfortable.

Love this skirt! Like others said, fit runs on the larger side so I ordered a size down. I wish this skirt was still available in other colors in this poplin fabric-I'd buy them all! Seriously-bring more colors back if possible, especially the khaki one. Gorgeous drape, very flattering! Very unique skirt unlike any other I've owned. I always get compliments on this skirt! Am now a big XCVI fan!

Really cool, hippy chic skirt. It's a little on the long side, so I'm not sure I'll get too much wear out of it this summer, but I'll probably live in it this fall. I am 5'5'', if that helps with visualization of length. I love the waste band; it keeps my belly in check and is super comfortable. I have fallen in love with this brand. I spend way too much money with Zappos, mostly because they carry the brands I love and I get free overnight shipping. Awesome company.

I'm a size 10-12. I bought this skirt in navy last year in large, and the sizing was pretty generous. The wide elastic waist was too loose to pull up and wear as a tube dress as advertised, but I kept it anyway and I still get compliments every time I wear this skirt because the style is so cool. I also have the same skirt in brown jersey, and the large in that material works really well as a sunny day tube dress, even though I've lost some weight. This year I bought the black skirt in medium to play in orchestra concerts and the fit is just right. The stretchy waist is a plus here because I play brass, and need to take deep breaths. I wore it last night and it was dressy but comfortable, plus the compliments kept coming. What more could you ask? Thanks Zappos! By the way, the blue skirt did fade some after machine washing.

I am currently a 8US with the occasional 6, 5'6" and right at 150lbs, bigger on the bottom than top. From the reviews of XCVI skirts I knew they ran big and ordered a small in this style (would have ordered an extra small too but it was sold out.) The skirt is lovely and exactly what I expected from the pictures but is going back because I'm still losing baby weight and it was just a little bigger than I wanted long term. Had it been less expensive I would have kept it assuming it would shrink some in the dryer and buy the extra small at a later date. LOVE that it could also double as a maternity skirt. Had I known about it back when it would have been my very first maternity purchase! I also ordered and am keeping the XCVI Double Shirred Panel Knee Length Skirt in XS. The only noticeable difference is that it is a tiny bit smaller in the rear, but not so much so that I am uncomfortable wearing it now. Also a beautiful, well-made skirt.

I love this skirt, it's very comfortable and light. You can wear it casually or dressy either way it looks great.

I love this skirt. I am complimented on it nearly every time I wear it. I am 130 pounds and 5'8" and long in the legs. Concerning my body measurements there is 41" from my belly button to the floor. The small is a perfect fit for me (so they run a bit small). This skirt says that it is 43" and it is, if you do not fold the waist band. I wear this skirt without folding it down, and I wear it with 2" heels and it goes all the way to the floor. You can alter the folding and unfolding to make it longer or shorter. It could be about tea length if you wanted it to be. The green is exactly the color my computer screen portrayed it. It is bunchy, in fun ways. It showed up with a lot of horizontal creases from the packaging. I like the bunchiness better it has after it is washed. In my personal opinion it is much better than the photo given.

I am absolutely in love with this skirt. I get tons of compliments every time I wear it. I am 8 months pregnant and even though it is not a maternity skirt I have been able to rock it. I imagine it can only look better once this belly is gone. I feel super sassy strutting around in this beautiful skirt.

Outstanding skirt. Definitely downsize a whole size as it runs large. You will love your hips and tushy in this skirt. I see it being very cute even as skorter (but not above the knee). Easy to maintain. Travels exceptionally well. Has that European off beat look. Very sexy with ankle booties or chunky heel motor boots. Ordering it in two more colors.

I love it. I got the moonbeam. Comfy. Long. I am 5'9 and 140lbs. I got medium. Fits perfectly. I recommend.

Love at first wearing! Traveled around South America and this looked & felt great each time I pulled out of my bag! Flattering, perfect length, nice fabric, can wear with flip flops or dress up with leggings & boots. Highly recommend, want one in another color for trade off!

Love the way this skirt fits. I'm 5'7" and it hit around my ankle, not the floor. The meadow color was a little more green than pictured. Material and style are great.

I love this skirt! Best long skirt ever! Comfortable, flattering, stylish. Very happy with my purchase. Thanks Zappos!

Love it! Had purchased the olive color one and liked it so much I had to have it in black too! Wears well with dressier tops and casual tshirts and camis. Received numerous compliments. Fits true to size. Thanks Zappos!

XCVI blue is a denim hue, not a navy at all. That aside, this skirt is awesome! Fabric has substance but at the same time it is very soft and not bulky. Shirring is flattering. Length is perfect (finally! I am 5'6). Size 4-6 is a true 6. Foldover knit top is super comfy and looks good. I own other XCVI skirts and some run shorter. This one is a true maxi!

Great go to skirt! Very comfy and the draping is unique. Washes up really nicely and is easy to walk in. I take pretty large strides and this skirt was not restrictive at all. I think it would be really great for travel.

This skirt is absolutely perfect for dressing up or dressing casual and out the door you go. It is so bohemian and chic! The cotton is just a little stiff, but in the dryer with a dryer sheet and walah it relaxes and hangs nicely. It runs large. After reading all the reviews I ordered an extra small. I am 5'2", slim hips and normally wear a size 2 or 4. The extra small fits like a glove. This skirt is good for any occasion. I just wish it came in different colors, possibly some pretty tie dye patterns. Will order some more if they become available in other colors. This is a must for your closet, if you love skirts!

I love this skirt -- it covers a myriad of flaws and it is a great basic but a with a little flare. The super wide elastic waistband is comfortable and keeps it in place, would work well for maternity too.

I love this skirt. Very comfortable and can dress it up or wear it casual. My husband thinks the skirt makes too much noise when I walk but it's not stopping me from wearing it. Love the skirt.
