I have not bought or worn any Worthington skirts, but I've worn plenty of Worthington pants, and they've all held up well. I just lost weight and they're all too big on me now. That's the only reason I'm shopping for new pants. While not top quality, I think the Worthington brand is worth its price. You should get enough wear out of the garment to justify what you spend. Keep in mind that the skirt is most likely not lined. In recent years, I've decided that I much prefer my skirts and dresses to be lined, and am willing to pay more. It's so much easier to wear a lined skirt or dress than it is to hunt for the perfect slip. That said, I've always managed to catch a sale or, at the very least, get free shipping. Hope this helps.
