I really love the material this skirt is made of. It is a medium weight with some give. So it has structure but it doesn't feel stuffy.

Great for dancing

I love the look of a pencil skirt but also like to be able to dance . This skirt is great looking and has stretch to it so it’s really comfortable for dancing . Recommended.

it’s beautiful!

This is lovely, I wasn’t sure a pencil skirt was for me but I’ve just tried it on and it’s beautiful! I’ll definitely be back for more colours!

Beautiful skirt

I now own 3 different colours in this style and will undoubtedly add more if they come back in stock in my size!
I'm not one for wearing pencil or fitted style skirts as I often don't find them flattering or forgiving, however with this skirt style I have the confidence to finally wear a fitted skirt!
The shape of this skirt is fantastic the draping and waterfall side are beautiful and very flattering.
I love everything about this skirt the fabric has a little stretch so you can move easily, it's comfortable and the colour is even more gorgeous in real life.
Just a beautiful beautiful skirt.

Absolutely stunning skirt,just beautiful.

The fabric weight is perfect it hangs so well.
The shape of the skirt is breathtaking the ruching to the front and the gorgeous waterfall side are extremely flattering.
I'm often self conscious in a pencil style skirt,but not in this style it actually gives me confidence in my figure!
It's comfortable aswell not restrictive an absolute joy to wear.

A classic wardrobe staple!

Such a beautiful skirt. The taupe is just right - it’s a classic wardrobe staple. I have this skirt in almost every colour and cannot recommend it highly enough!

M
Marlene
Simply too wonderful to adequately put into words.

The drape is incredibly flattering as well as interesting to the eye and the colour goes with almost everything else.
My favorite part however is the fabric, which hardly wrinkles and feels very comfortable, almost as good as wearing pyjamas.
The measurement of my waist is between 25-26 inches and the 8 fits beautifully with ease and beathing room.

I want it in every colour!

Such a beautiful skirt made out of good quality fabric and hangs amazingly when worn.

Outstanding skirt!

I measure 29-42 and ordered the 14. I think I could have done a 12 as I had to move the button in a few inches, but I love the look of this! I can't wait for more colors!

Beautiful garment

It drapes gorgeously and creates a very flattering silhouette. Excited to add more House Of Foxy items to my wardrobe!

Favourite skirt in wardrobe.

I love these skirts - bought a second in orange. Lovely weight material that just hangs beautifully, can be easily dressed up or down. Go by fit around the narrowest part of your waist as this is where it will sit.

OMG!!

I can’t say enough good things about this skirt! First off, I’m a new mama (little one is 3 months) and my body isn’t what it once was. I’m a pear shape and now have a bit of a tummy. The draping on this Waterfall skirt is AMAZING! It hides that mommy tummy and looks elegant. Along with the tummy, I have these love handles. This skirt does not hug the side too tight and is very forgiving. What a skirt!!

Wonderful!

Simply gorgeous. A perfect fit. I have the size 12 in the Flutter skirts because I like waistbands to just sit on me but I got the 10 in this as I felt that the style would mean I could have a closer fit. I was correct. The waistband fits wonderfully and the skirt is so beautiful. I think the Prim blouse will suit this skirt the most, or a jersey top. Another wonderful HOF creation.
