Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Vista Camp Skort

very comfortable can be worn for casual affairs

I really like the design of this skort with the zippered pockets. I wish I had just ordered one to try it out instead of two. My complaints are two: the shorts need to be about 2 inches longer; the fabric of the shorts is not breathable. I recommend changing to a breathable mesh that offers coverage but breathability.

I'm not a fan of shorts on me, so these are a nice alternative. I normally wear a large, but tried them on in the store and decided that a large had too much material around the hips and legs. The medium fit better. The waistband, while not snug, does give me a slight muffin top, but I have a spare tire there so most clothing does that to me. At 5'6, this skirt was about 3" above my knee. Easy to move in and lightweight. The shorts underneath are more like boy short style underwear. It doesn't bother me, but the legs do ride up. I got two colors at the store and ordered the color they didn't carry. These will be my "go to" casual wear instead of shorts.

The skort is made well and provides coverage with the look of a skirt. I am disappointed with the fit of this skort. It sits just below the navel, and this doesn't work for me. I would prefer it come up to the waist.

I loved this little skort. The skirt part fit fine. I loved the material and the design and details. I only wish the shorts underneath were longer and looser: those just felt like I was wearing a second pair of underpants. Returning item. For almost $85 (total) I had to love them and I did not.

Cute skort but shorts do not stay put which is very annoying. I'd return but I've already worn and washed. Bummer

It is super cute and fits beautifully. Women know the point of a skort is to have the look of a skirt without your legs rubbing in the heat. The shorts in this skort are about an inch too short, so they ride up as you walk or sit. By the time you've gone a block or two in hot weather, you might as well just have on a plain skirt. I bought this for exploring on vacation. I'm going to keep it because it is very cute and it's great for dinner or lunch out. But it is not an all day wandering around town outfit, sadly. It's a pretty easy fix. I wore it for about an hour went back to my hotel and put on a much cheaper skort from a big online vendor that is not as cute but performs much better.

I like the thyme color and the drape of the skirt, as well as the length (I'm 5'3" and the medium hits just above the knee); however as many have mentioned, the shorts are useless since they ride up (I'll likely have to cut them out and wear my own bicycle shorts), and the waistband is odd. It extends below the waist and rolls out to create a little ridge- not something anyone wants protruding from their waist area!) I generally don't understand how either of these features made it through the design process., Especially with a reputable store like L.L. Bean and at this price point.

Great length and overall fit. The short/liners ride up and bunch at top of legs when walking around. Easy to pull back down, but kinda' of uncomfortable at times. If just sitting, no issue. Probably would have rated higher if short/liners stayed in place.

I really like the look and fit of the skirt itself BUT the shorts that are connected underneath are extremely uncomfortable. They are too short and ride up with the smallest movement giving a front wedgie! I'm tempted to just cut them out and wear my bike shorts under instead.

This Skort was so cute, but I was super disappointed when I put it on that it fit very tight and seemed to run small. The waist in particular had no extra room and was tight too. I had hoped for a looser fitting, more flattering skort for hot sweaty weather, so I sent it back.

I love the length and fabric of this skort, I do think the attached shorts are too short and ride up which makes it uncomfortable. I also do not care for the waist band. It seems to roll over.

I've really enjoyed this skort. However, the seam tore within the first day so I'm already looking at doing a repair. Otherwise nice skort. Nice color, great lightweight fabric.

The good: this skirt runs true to size for me, it looks very cute and flattering on my plus size self, and it's super comfortable. The frustrating: The inner shorts are weirdly loose. The skort itself is the perfect size, if I go down a size I think it would be too tight and honestly the shorts might *still* be too loose. I don't really understand the design/intent, because the shorts fabric is nice and stretchy so it seems like it would be very easy to make them properly fitted like bike shorts, but instead they're loose around the bottom and ride up really easily. That means there's not necessarily as much "coverage" if I'm sitting weird or bending down or whatever and not paying attention to where the shorts are, and it means I'm still chafing in the summer heat. And those are the main two reasons for anyone to buy a skort rather than just a skirt. I may as well just keep putting on bike shorts under my existing clothes. Extremely annoying because it seems like such a simple obvious fix. An inch or even half an inch longer in the shorts + fitted like a bike short and I would buy these in every single color. I'm keeping the one I have because it's cute and comfy if I'm lounging around indoors or something, but I was really hoping this would be easy to throw on and wear walking my dogs or out with friends on hot summer days and unfortunately the shorts issue means that won't happen.

The skirt is a nice length for traveling. You feel comfortable going from countryside to city with lots of roomy pockets. The big negative for this skort are the underlying shorts, they are too short and are very uncomfortable.

Like style overall and lightweight fabric. Oddly bunches up where elastic waist meets body of skirt and is a little lower in rise than I like. Still a nice alternative to shorts.

The Vista Camp Skort was fine but fit a little bit snug. I didn't love the color. I was really looking for something a bit more summery in color so I returned the skort. However the quality looked good, it was lightweight and it would have probably worked ok if I had kept it.

Have been searching for a lightweight navy skort and thought this would be perfect. However, the medium was tight and I always take medium in LLBean clothing. Large fit oddly so unfortunately had to return.

Yes to the style, the pockets, the fabric, and the color. No to the fit of the under-shorts with the wide stitching down the middle of the front & back that rubs in the crotch area. This is the only reason I'm returning the item.

These would be my favorite if the hem stitching would hold. I have many stretchy fabric skirts and these are the only ones with this problem of hem sticking popping. An inch longer would also be ideal.

Love the fabric and design of the skirt but the shorts underneath need to be longer, always pulling them done after I sit. Won't buy another pair because of the length of the shorts.

I like the lightweight skirt material, the pockets, and overall look but the included shorts are quite short and ride aaalll the way up when I walk so my thighs chafe. Will be returning.

This skort is sort of disappointing. The shorts part is not at all substantial and is really just like a pair of liner undies that adds a layer between you and the air. Not a fan. I don't feel like it is a very good value, so I am not certain that I will keep it. I can probably find one that is better.

ok, waist a bit low and not quite right, otherwise good fabric, etc

I love the fit, the feel and the look of this fabric but it snags
