If you want to order NAS Halogen seamed skirt...

Sveta

..you may find my experience helpful. Last year Halogen seamed skirts were running pretty big - I am between sizes 10 and 12 on the bottom and I had to buy size 8.
However this year they are much smaller - I had to buy size 12 and my old size 8 skirt still fits fine (I mean no, I did not gain two sizes since last summer!
Just so you know....

...and I'm generally a size 4P, but MaryK and Modgirl suggested sizing down. However 0P and 2P were too small for me - I'm going to reorder 4P and 6P (if they are restocked on Friday) and am pretty sure that the 4P will be the correct size.

Thanks, Sveta!

That is quite a swing in sizing on the exact same skirt. I really wish clothing manufacturers would try a little harder to keep sizing more consistent among the same item in different colors.

Great advice, I am right on the cusp between 2P and 4P from last year's skirt. I am definitely going to order the 4P in magenta.

I'm so excited about wearing my fever pink skirt, it's hard to even think about fall colors now!

Well, that's annoying! I ordered it in size 0 because that's the size that fit in the last batch of colors. Now it looks like I'm gonna have to re-order! Dang!

Hee hee -- Sveta, you made my day! I *so* wanted that skirt last year, but knew it wouldn't fit. Now it sounds like it might.

@Mary - maybe you are just SOOO tiny now, that a 0P will fit! ; )

Spot on with my experience. Last year I needed a 4, this year a definite 6 or even 8. I was surprised and did not buy the skirt anyway.

Thanks for the post Sveta! This is one of the pieces I'm looking forward to purchasing and appreciate the size recommendations.

I was wearing a 14 last year and the 10 fit well (but would not now). I wear a 10 or 12 now and got the 10 this time. I find the waist is a little bit tighter in this version. I tried the bright blue this summer and the 10 was way too tight so maybe it's by color or batch?

Interesting. I didn't buy one last year, so I don't have that comparison. But I tried on that skirt (which is great, and what a bargain!) yesterday in several regular and petite sizes. I usually wear an 8 Regular, but found the skirt a bit too big and long in that size. Both the 6 Regular and the 8 Petite fit better than the 8 Regular. In the end I decided on the 8 Petite because its length was shorter, which I liked. (The Petite ends well above the knee, so it shows the whole knee; the Regular ended somewhere mid-knee on me; I'm 5'4''). Just another data point

Well, that makes me feel a whole lot better. This skirt fit me in my regular size, and I was all annoyed to think it might be running big like last year... I too felt it was a little small, but I have lost a few pounds too (a very few).
