Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly review the size, fabric and fit. I am curious, what size did you order in the Brooklyn crop? I am always between a 8 and 10 and have a hard time deciding which to choose. As a reference point, I recently purchased the On the Fly from Lululemon, on Roxanne's recommendation, in a 10 and they fit fabulously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122718 Sat, 23 May 2020 01:35:33 +0000 Suz 2122718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet,</b> you are a sweetheart!!

Maybe in a red pattern since I have so much blue. Looks Potentially very useful when travel is a thing again... someday. </p> <p>But YIKES at the Canadian price. Sheesh. It would be more tolerable if you didn’t know the US price is $100 less!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122626 Fri, 22 May 2020 22:50:49 +0000 Angie 2122626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's $49 in the US. Good grief. Poor Canadians....</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, it looked like a very YOU pattern too. I will make it a Fab Find.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122603 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:55:43 +0000 Anonymous 2122603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Intrigued by the rip skirt, but worry that velcro would catch on things in the wash. Holy cow the price in Canada! Only $50 here. </p> <p>I like my similar olive Athleta skort- but I got the tee time one instead, cause it was letter sizes. Great for hiking cause pockets! And the shipping has been super fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122599 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:40:11 +0000 Anonymous 2122599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't remember which version I've got of the Jockeys, but I have quite a few pair. I can't wear dresses in the summer without them. I cannot STAND the feeling of my thighs &nbsp;touching each other - which might just be a me problem though. &nbsp;I'd love a skirt though, and will happily pay to have you send me one!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122595 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:28:30 +0000 Janet 2122595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I'll do a more thorough try-on and report back to you on the coverage issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, no shorts underliner -- it's just a skirt. I'll post some real-life pics when I get a moment. Yes, they have four lengths -- I got length #3, the midi, not the new maxi length. I like that it's knee-covering. (I think 2 is cute too but I'm not sure it would be long enough for my preference.) I'm dead serious -- I'll get it for you. Let's coordinate via PM. Suz, you too!</p> <p>I was looking at underwear on the Jockey site -- there's a sale going on right now -- and checked out the slip shorts that so many people here seem to rave about. But they have a few different models of slip shorts, and I'm not sure which ones are the favorites. Model bodies in stock photos are nearly useless to me -- my body bears no resemblance to those models, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122592 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:22:55 +0000 Anonymous 2122592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll take the black batik in a M please and thank you. In that same length you bought. They have 4 lengths it seems? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122591 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:22:03 +0000 Anonymous 2122591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I know , right! &nbsp;I actually burst out laughing when I saw that on the .ca website. AS IF. I went to the Ripskirt's own website and they don't ship to Canada. They probably don't even know where Canada is. &nbsp;</p> <p>Again - do they have a shorts underliner? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122590 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:18:19 +0000 Anonymous 2122590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Question to those with a Ripskirt...do you need to wear shorts or something under it for striding and sitting down? That front overlap/ slit worries me. I do not want to bare my thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122584 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:12:01 +0000 Janet 2122584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I also added the black Brooklyn crop pant from Athleta to my order. The plaid ones with the side stripe are so comfortable I think the solid black will be very useful this summer -- they can dress up or down and are so lightweight. I sized down in the black since the plaid ones were super roomy, and they fit great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122582 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:02:01 +0000 Janet 2122582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wha? That is CRAZY. Good god, message me and I'll buy the darn things for you and ship them to Canada myself! Seriously. I'll do it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122577 Fri, 22 May 2020 20:49:56 +0000 Suz 2122577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I just looked on Amazon.ca for the Ripskirt price:&nbsp;</p> <p><b>CDN$ 192.15 - CDN$ 192.88&nbsp;<br /></b><br />Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122575 Fri, 22 May 2020 20:48:09 +0000 Suz 2122575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I <b>TOTALLY NEED A RIPSKIRT</b>. That is perfect!! I've got to get me one for sure!! I would use something like that All. The. Time. But if LisaP is right, I need to find an alternate way to get it. That's insane. $36 for shipping and import. Feh!!&nbsp;</p> <p>The bra looks pretty and practical and wow -- great fit if you forgot you were wearing it!</p> <p>I actually wear Champion sports bras and have found them better than all the other options so far, because the ones I have all do up at the back, which I really prefer to the over the head versions. Interesting that you like their skort as well. I might have to investigate!</p> <p>Thanks for the reviews!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122566 Fri, 22 May 2020 20:11:02 +0000 Anonymous 2122566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this Ripskirt thing. Are there shorts underneath? &nbsp;I tried to add it to my amazon cart but there is a $36 US shipping and import fee surcharge. NOPE. &nbsp;Intrigued with the Knix bra and will have to check it out. I'm not familiar with that brand, but anything that will minimize, push together and somewhat &nbsp;eradicate is good for me &nbsp;I am the lone female on this planet who doesn't mind the smushed-together effect of a sports bra. It makes clothes hang SO much better on me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122564 Fri, 22 May 2020 20:02:51 +0000 Pat_P 2122564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m very interested to read your review of the Ripskirt.

Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122562 Fri, 22 May 2020 19:59:03 +0000 Preppy Pear 2122562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reviews, thank you! I’m very tempted by that Ripskirt.

I've always liked wrap skirts and feel like they can work really well for me if they're done well. They've been &nbsp;in rather short supply in recent years, it seems.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm glad if this was helpful to anyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122553 Fri, 22 May 2020 19:32:15 +0000 Nebraskim 2122553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been tempted by that Ripskirt thing as well. I love that kind of easy fashion. Thanks for the review. I bought a wool wrap skirt last winter called a Nor-sari. It's basically a blanket with velcro closure. I love it. It was great over leggings and boots for winter.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122552 Fri, 22 May 2020 19:29:25 +0000 nemosmom 2122552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this skirt, Janet! Any bottom that doesn't show butt prints after a day in the water is a winner in my book!&nbsp; Thank you for taking time to write up a review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122551 Fri, 22 May 2020 19:20:53 +0000 Janet 2122551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I'm impressed with the bra. It even comes packaged very nicely, with a complimentary laundry bag. I love that they offered a nice print too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm seriously tempted to order the Ripskirt in another print, but I'll wait and see how it wears and washes. I like that blue tropical print you show pictured above! This one appeals to me too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122550 Fri, 22 May 2020 18:56:10 +0000 Angie 2122550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANK YOU, <b>Janet</b>! </p> <p>I'm impressed with that bra :)</p> <p>I'm loving the RipSkirt. If you browse all the colours, and look at how the models have styled the skirt - it's a great VERY casual Summer skirt!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-skirtskort-and-sports-bra-review#post-2122546 Fri, 22 May 2020 18:47:13 +0000 Janet 2122546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've ordered a couple of very practical items and wanted to share.&nbsp;</p> <p>First up, I have seen adds for the Ripskirt and have been intrigued, but skeptical. I decided to order one out of curiosity, because its the kind of skirt I can see being useful for travel (when we are able to do that again), beach and pool, and general summer refined-casual wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a simple wrap skirt in a fabric reminiscent of board shorts -- no wrinkles, velcro closing at the waist, and available in a variety of lengths. I chose the midi length, of course, in a simple black and white print since I no longer own a black and white print skirt, and it would be very versatile for me in summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>No pics yet, as I just tried it on very quickly in between some home tasks today, but I was pleasantly surprised how well it fits. I was worried the fit might not be good for me because the models on their site look quite straight-figured through the hips, but one of the great things about this style is that you can close the waist higher or lower, depending on how you need it to fit. I'm happy to report that the hip fit was really good on me with the waist secured at a comfortable spot on my body. I'd say the sizing is slightly generous. I ordered a M (I think equivalent to an 8-10 US) and I'm wrapping it closed with room to spare. Quality seems fine -- not superb but not shabby either. Perhaps a little pricey for what it is, and someone with sewing skills could easily make this, but I think it's worthwhile for me and my life and style.&nbsp;</p> <p>Second, I have a sporty Champion brand skort from Target from a year or so ago that comes in handy for ultra casual or active warm weather wear. Good for yard work or a walk. So I thought perhaps I could use another like it. I ordered this skort from Athleta and I think it works. Sizing is a little small, I'd say. I got a 10 and it fits but not in a loose way -- it's unusual for me to need a 12 in anything so I'd say the sizes are less than generous. It doesn't look good with the pockets open, but zipped up it's OK on me. Considering the sale price, I think I will keep, but I haven't committed yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lastly, I noted on another thread that some members here recommended the Knix sports bra, and I realized I could use one more sports bra, so I decided to order one to try. I liked the tropical print. I did not have high hopes for this because of the no-underwire style, and the fact that trying ANY bra for a 32G size is usually an ordeal in frustration. However, when it arrived and I tried it on to wear around the house, I actually forgot which bra I had on and ended up going out for a hike in it. So I guess it passes the comfort test! Support is great. My only quibble with it is that it is definitely NOT minimizing -- it sort of pulls the boobs together, which is not necessarily what I need for aesthetic purposes, but with a higher neckline shirt, it works and is not unflattering. It just doesn't separate the girls much, you know? At least it doesn't give uniboob. It seems to breathe pretty well, considering the seemingly substantial fabrication.&nbsp; </p>
