I know mini skirts don't get a lot of love on the forum but I thought I'd give my review in case anyone is looking a cinq a sept. There are many mini's that match their blazers, so here goes, hope it's helpful. Quality is the heavy cotton tweed to match the jacket. Skirt is actually a-line with a faux button front so the bottom is sewn and the plaket is also sewn shut so no worries about gapping. There is a side zip and hooks and fully lined. Gold buttons to match fringe at the top and bottom is short and nice. Lies flat. Skirt is finger tip length on 5'3" me. As per the only review, I sized up one and two sizes to sit the skirt slightly lower to get more length. Jacket is size 4, the 6 skirt is just slightly roomy and sits low waist but the 8 was huge. Already wrapped up. The skirt is super cute on it's own. I tried it on with black tights and fitted black suede knee boots and OTK boots. Looks great with the jacket and lots of my other black jackets and sweaters. So other than it's mini limiting height, it looks to be versatile. The a line means I can stride and move easily. I would recommend one size up for length and ease. You don't want your mini riding up for sure. I'm a sucker for a suit so I'm keeping it, although I think I'll wear the pieces more as separates than together.
