Review on Tandisk Women'S Vintage A-Line Printed Pleated Flared Midi Skirt With Pockets by Michael Hicks

This skirt is one of my favorite Best Buy purchases in years! I like it so much I immediately purchased it in the navy color, too, and am contemplating some other colors.Pros:- Very flattering shape- Glamorous vintage look that is really wearable and doesn't look costume-y.- The skirt fabric has a bit of stretch (5% spandex) AND the waistband itself has elastic, so it's very comfortable fit- Launders well. I've washed it in the washing machine on the normal cycle (water = warm) and then air-dried it a couple of times now, and it has held up very well and hasn't visibly shrunk or lost its shape.- It has pockets! Very convenient.- Very comfortable and breathable in hot weather (95% cotton). Absolutely perfect for summer.- Despite being cotton and light enough for hot weather, it's opaque - it's not* transparent in sunlight or anything like that.- Very affordable price point for such a great skirt! Great value for the money.- I've literally had strangers stop their cars, compliment my skirt, and ask me where I got it.Cons:- As is true of most cotton skirts, this does require ironing to look its best after laundering. The skirt has pleats, so the ironing also takes a little care, if you're looking to recreate and preserve the pleats.- The pockets could be a little deeper, particularly given that there's plenty of room for extra fabric. I have a smaller iPhone, and I could fit my phone without having it fall out, but if I had a larger one I think I'd feel like I needed to watch the pocket to make sure my phone didn't come out.Something to know:- I completely agree with the other reviewers that it's best to size down. My waist is 28 inches and according to the size guide, that would make me a medium, but I found that the size small fit perfectly. I have two of these skirts, and one of them is even just very slightly loose as a size S.
