Mine does not blow open (miraculously! -- but I will acknowledge it's on the larger size for me so it has more overlap than it might, otherwise) <b>and</b> it is not see through at atll.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2317337 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 00:13:53 +0000 Anonymous 2317337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Barbara Diane- I wear my black one as a regular skirt (with regular knickers). It's not sheer.<br /> The one I have doesn't blow open as much as some other wrap skirts, maybe cause it's narrower at the legs- but mine is the discontinued midi length. If it's really windy/stormy it needs a pin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2317304 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 21:16:02 +0000 Barbara Diane 2317304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so disappointed to see that the length I wanted was discontinued. :(<br /> Can the skirts be worn without a bathing suit under? Wondering how sheer they are and if they blow open? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2317270 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 17:48:47 +0000 Suz 2317270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do have four lengths on the website, yes. But none is exactly the length and Janet and I got, which is longer than their current knee-covering length and shorter than their maxi. I wonder if they would make to order, though....maybe? They are not available in Canada yet although they claim they are opening for online shopping here soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2317256 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 15:42:18 +0000 cat2 2317256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a solid black Nike skirt that fills this role for me. I think Nordstrom has them if you are looking for free shipping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2317173 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 22:15:53 +0000 elpgal 2317173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, they show 4 lengths and a sport version on their website along with the new? Navy colorway. Their stock on Amazon US is slimmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2317168 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 20:43:31 +0000 Suz 2317168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They changed the lengths, too -- they don't have the midi length that Janet and I got -- just a shorter mid length or a true maxi, I think.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mine is a "tropical" print, I guess -- but in non-tropical neutrals so it works for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316907 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:35:20 +0000 elpgal 2316907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LJP, they have a Navy! No olive though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316899 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:26:01 +0000 LJP 2316899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been interested in these since Janet first posted about them af ew years ago - but tropical prints aren't quite what I want. Fine for the pool or beach, but that's so limiting. &nbsp;Back in my sewing days, I would have put together one of those in an afternoon . &nbsp;Navy or olive would be my choices. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316897 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:23:57 +0000 elpgal 2316897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the quick-drying fabric may be the hold-up. The outdoor gear companies make skirts but they are sportier styles. This looks right up Eshakti’s alley. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316854 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 13:12:48 +0000 RobinF 2316854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just thinking what Janet said - might be worth it to buy the black one and copy it to make a few in fabrics you like. I agree, about the prints. There are very few tropical ones that work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316831 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 11:47:02 +0000 Janet 2316831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, they really work the beach vibe, which is a solid market, I bet! It seems like it would be easy enough to sew a duplicate in whatever fabric one wishes, with just a little skill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316820 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 11:28:25 +0000 Anonymous 2316820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of the prints appealed to me either, that's why I bought the black. I wish they'd make it in solid burgundy.<br /> Haven't seen an alternative yet, unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316812 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 11:03:15 +0000 Janet 2316812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m actually thinking of passing along mine because the tropical print feels limiting, so i hear you. I haven’t seen a copycat but it seems a ripe opportunity for a maker who wants to offer a little more sophistication. I like wraps in general but it’s hard to get the details right and find a version that doesn’t have fidgety ties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316809 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 10:56:37 +0000 Olive Green 2316809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Epigal,same! I don’t see the prints/colours on me at all. And I love the idea of that skirt.&nbsp;<br />Apparently not a tropical flower…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316789 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 04:26:14 +0000 elpgal 2316789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I may end up buying the black if I don’t find anything else but I am hopeful for dupes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316786 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 04:04:25 +0000 Suz 2316786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there are a few that are plain, but mostly black... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripskirt-alternatives#post-2316784 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 03:43:53 +0000 elpgal 2316784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been eyeing the Ripskirts for warm weather wear but the prints just don’t appeal to me. I am guessing it’s not the only one of it’s kind on the market. Have you found other alternatives that are comparable? </p>
