Knee-length circle skirts with some volume - where to find?

Carrie

Hi all! I am new to the forum. It was recommended on a fashion and beauty forum I read in the DC area and I'm hooked!

I used to have some feminine circle skirts that balanced my body by providing some volume on my lower half. I'm on the shorter side and prefer a skirt that just barely covers my knees.

I can't find anything like this for sale these days. Any recommendations for where to look?

I care more about what is flattering on me than what is current, in case that wasn't apparent.

Hi welcome! And Etsy Circle skirts are used as bellydance wear, in maxi length, so you should find many.
Cheers to figure flattering!

Sites that cater to vintage style usually have a good selection. I used to make my own, so I can't vouch for any specific vendor, but Lindy Bop is one I've heard of: https://www.lindybopusa.com/cl.....ouette=147

Speaking of handmade, Etsy may also be worth a look. Some sellers will do custom orders too. https://www.etsy.com/search?q=circle%20skirt

Vintage at second hand shops, That is not easy but may be your best source. All ahead and ask consignment shops to let you know if they get something like this. Remember to consider alterations if a skirt you like is too big or long.

ModCloth might be a good option.

I second Kyle. Have you tried Mod Cloth?

Yes, Modcloth have heaps of flared skirts - the 'Just this Sway' skirts may be what you are after.

I like the Steady 'Thrills' skirts myself -

https://www.steadyclothing.com/circle-skirts/ - the quality isn't super amazing, but it's decent and holds up to lots of washing.

Hi Carrie! Welcome.

Nordy’s has a few that might work—not complete circles, but very full pleated skirts
Idk why, but the link won’t paste here properly—part of it gets chopped off and then it just leads to 2 skirts, not the 16 I meant. Browse women’s->clothing->skirts and set the “pleated” and “full” options. For style I chose knee-length and short (because you said you’re short, so I thought “short” might work out to be the length you need). If you choose “midi” you get 100 more.
