Customers praised this vintage-inspired skirt for being "very flattering and comfortable" with excellent quality fabric and construction. The skirt "swings and twirls fantastically" and works for both authentic 1940s outfits and modern looks. Several noted it tends to run large in the waist. Most found it true to size when following the guide.
- Love this skirt, it hangs beautifully and swings so nicely as you move.
- The quality is fantastic and it falls and moves so beautiful with every step.
- The skirt has enough weight that swings and twirls fantastically.
Good quality skirt that drapes nicely. Deducted one star as the button holes had loose threads, for the price I would expect these small details to be perfect. I bought my usual high street size 10 and found it fits with some give, which will be good for the autumn when I want to wear more layers.
Dear Shan,
Thank you for your honest feedback! We're truly sorry to hear this. This isnāt our Foxy standard at all, and we absolutely want to make it right for you. In our small business, things very rarely slip through the net, but when they do, we take full responsibility.
Please do get in touch with our customer service team at hello@thehouseoffoxy.com so we can address this properly - we'd love the chance to put things right.
With warmest wishes,
Team Foxy
Incredible skirt! Very very flattering and comfortable, with a lovely twirl
Had to size down because I like it more fitted on the waist, but that was no issue :)
Meget fin nederdel i en virkelig smuk farve, sidder sƄ godt.
It's a lovely colour and very well made, but unfortunately was too big on me. I've returned it for a smaller size
Great cutting! Loved the pocket too; very handy.
I have 3 of these skirts. I love them. I really wanted a red one for summer. I have to say it is considerably smaller than my other 2. I have kept it. As I will have to wear it higher up my waist.
Hello there Penny! Lovely to hear that you're a whirlaway fan. However the one you've received sounds like it may be faulty. Please do contact us via email at hello@thehouseoffoxy.com to let us know a little more about this, so that we can offer you a solution! We don't want you making do with a style that's supposed to be such a staple. Hopefully speak soon, Foxy Team
That's the most flattering skirt I've ever had. Now, I've got it in 3 different colors!
I bought this skirt in warm taupe and liked it so much I also got the green. It is a lovely cut, although it requires a half slip cause otherwise the bottom of my blouse would be visible through the thin fabric.
Love this skirt & good quality
Love this skirt, it hangs beautifully and swings so nicely as you move. The level of quality you'd expect from House of Foxy. The size 10 fits me perfectly - I've got a 28" waist. Although it's a lovely vintage style, it works well with more modern tops etc too so it's very versatile and worth the investment.
This is such a lovely, flattering everyday skirt.
It looks great with a blouse, fine knit jumper or smart t-shirt
This is the most perfect skirt Iāve ever owned, I wear it all the time and have multiple colors now Iām waiting for the black in my size to be back in stock so I can replace it. You wonāt be sorry runs true to size and is the perfect length.
I've had several amazing experiences shopping at The House of Foxy! The quality of the clothes is outstanding ā everything feels well-made, stylish, and true to era an to size. It's clear they really care about the products they make.
What impressed me even more was the customer service. They were incredibly helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my order. The House of Foxy combines great vintage fashion with genuine support.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for both quality and a smooth shopping experience. Iāll definitely be coming back again and again!
Lovely fit
Iāve never been sure about having a skirt in this style but Iām so pleased and happy with how well this skirt looks and feels lovely. Itās gorgeous. Thank you soo much ā¤ļø
Delighted with the quality and design
I absolutely love this skirt with its vintage look and the beautiful colour! I ordered the dress according to the waist measurements on this website and it was too big. One size smaller fits perfectly!
Gorgeous colour and very well made
I have this skirt in three different sizes because every time my body changes, I have to get a new one. This skirt is one of my favorite wardrobe staples. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
This skirt is a great staple. I'd have it in a range of colors if my size didn't sell out so quickly.
Very good material, arrived on time and nicely packed. My wife loves it.
I am 5'1, 123 lbs (36-29-36) and ordered a 10, but I should have ordered a 12. The skirt itself is stretchy but the waist has zero stretch.
It is in a lovely colour and fits perfectly
I love the skirts from The House of foxy. One thing I would recommend is to order a size smaller because of the stretch in the fabric.
Amazingly comfortable, nice weight to the fabric, and it drapes beautifully! The pocket is so appreciated, as well, and is perfect for a phone or dropping a few misplaced hairpins in. I ordered my usual size but perhaps because of the spandex it felt just a little too big (not enough to size down for, however). I shifted all of the buttons to the very edge of the placket and it fits better now with minimal to no impact to the aesthetic.
I'm so glad I purchased it! The size 14 fit perfectly for my 33-34" waist.
I was concerned about sizing, but I have a 32" waist and the 14 fit perfectly with just slightly a little more room to fit without being constricting. The color is gorgeous. It reminds me of a chai latte, it's both rich and easily a perfect neutral. The material is divine. It's light, airy, and breathable in hot Texas weather, though I prefer to have an underskirt. The overall design is so perfect. The silhouette of the skirt is flattering and perfect for the era. I love the buttons and the pocket is very practical. I'm truly happy with this purchase and hope that some of the other colors become available in my size!
I do wish that all the skirts were offered in a size 6, as the size 8 is always just a tad too loose in the waist. Iām just about a 26ā waist and the size 8 is about 27ā
This skirt looks very classy. The material is swishy yet substantial. It is the perfect length:just hitting below the knee for a vintage look, but not too long to be frumpy. There is some stretch to the material and I did have to swap it for a smaller size.
