I tried on a ton of pants and skirts and ordered some stuff to be sent to me; I was surprised at how good the quality was for the price and at how well stuff fit me.</p> <p>The SA told me they get complaints about that cotton sateen fabric - apparently it fades and stretches. But, this was about pants in the same fabric. She recommended anything but the cotton. So I basically tried on every non-mini except for the one you want. </p> <p>In pants there I'm a 2, same as Ann Taylor. I ordered a 4 in the high-waisted pencil - the 2 was comfortable and looked good, but I thought it made me look a little too Joan Holloway for work. The editor pants and all the skirts I tried seem to be cut for a fairly hourglass body - I often need waists taken in, but these were good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sizing-for-skirts#post-582962 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:09:05 +0000 rachylou 582962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm. I have one of their cotton spandex skirts. I think it's pretty true to size, but the cotton spandex aspect makes it "clingy" - needs a slip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sizing-for-skirts#post-582929 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:33:35 +0000 Meredith1953 582929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could help about the sizing. The jackets I ordered seemed very true to size but I haven't tried any of the skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sizing-for-skirts#post-582592 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:07:22 +0000 Tanya 582592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty skirt!</p> <p>The quality varies, but for the tailored pieces it tends to be pretty good. Lately, I have found their skirts to run pretty large. I wear 0/2 in their pants and would usually need 00 in skirts when trying them on (not that I ended up buying any). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sizing-for-skirts#post-582538 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:21:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 582538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for a Kelly/Emerald green pencil skirt and have looked in brick &amp; mortar stores for the last couple of days in my home town with no luck.</p> <p>I found this one on Express (in the green) but I've never ordered from them. What is their quality and sizing like?</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/cotton-sateen-seamed-pencil-skirt-43074-23/refine/Color/Green/control/show/3/index.pro#jsLink" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/cotton-.....pro#jsLink</a> </p>
