Review on Belle Poque High Waist Plaid Skirt With Pockets - Vintage And Pleated Women'S Skirt For BPA020 by Nicole Stone

Update-Update: So I bought yet another one of these (Da*mn you Ebay, I should be able to review each color, especially since they are different materials!) I bought the "Red Floral". First, the background color is not white, it looks more like a dingy, dirty off-white. I was thinking this would be perfect for fall, but I can tell you, this dress is see-through BOTH the front and back side together when you hold it up to light. That's right, by grabbing the each side of the waist band and holding it up flat, I can see through 2 layers. This dress ABSOLUTELY NEEDS A LINING. If you have a slip with details on it, it will show through. The color is a deep orange-red, and there is not quite the variation of color the picture depicts. It's pretty much deep orange-red and brown on a dirty white background. Not the lovely print and good fabric I was hoping for. This one goes back too. Be careful what you buy. Some are great, but there is no way without a lining this dress is worth more than $30---Belle Poque be scammin' or dreamin'.Update 7/19/22:I just ordered 3 more of this skirt. I got the dark red solid, the red and navy plaid, and what I thought from the pictures was a pink/mauve plaid. All 3 plaids are the same material as my first review of the green and black plaid below, and the flannel feeling material. Even though it pilled a bit, on the green and black plaid (my first of this skirt), it's not really noticeable when I am out and about. I think the same will be true for the red and navy.HOWEVER, THE "PINK PLAID" IS NOWHERE NEAR PINKISH MAUVE AND CREAM COLOR the picture shows. It's dark red and tan. So disappointed in Belle Poque, because the pictures are NOT accurate with this one. I already have the solid dark red and the navy and dark red plaid, I don't need another dark red skirt. I wanted a pink plaid to change it up. This one will be going back due to false advertising. I hate the way Ebay only gives you only one review, even if you buy several different skirts. It's BS. I want to give the bad description skirt 1 or 2 stars, but the others are 4 to 5 stars. So.beware and look closely at pictures.Also, the solid red skirt is a thick polyester. It's fine as far as the material, however, the color is an odd red. It's not a bright red or deep scarlet red, but almost a deep tomato red (with hints of rust and orange in the color), which means it does not go with most red things. So finding accessories to match will be a nightmare. They should keep this details in mind when they choose fabric. Most people would want a bright red or scarlet red, which would give them more choice in terms of tops, sweaters, jackets and shoes. Now I have to buy some other thing to match this skirt. After the off colors of the "red floral," and the "mauve" plaid which is really burnt red and tan, and now this off color, that's three article of clothing that nothing will match. So even though the price is OK-ish, it's now expensive, because I have pay out more to have something to wear with these skirts, because I can't very well just wear the skirt alone with my bra out in public. Pity.Original I have gotten several compliments on this (black/dark green plaid) skirt. It can be worn very high on the abdomen or at mid waist, because there is some elastic in the back which makes it versatile. Size chart is accurate, so take your measurements. But it's a flannel like fabric, and somewhat heavy, so it's definitely late fall, early spring and winter attire. Plus, it's already pilling just a little. You can only see it at this point up close, but I dread it may get worse. I just wish this skirt was a bit shorter. I am 5'7" tall and it hits me about 7" from the floor. It would be a great retro, 1950's look if it were tea length. I may hem it. I was hoping I could wear it late spring and summer, but it's too heavy for that. A crinoline really dresses it up, and I can say, with the correct layering a good long coat, it's really warm for cooler climates.
