I usually wear skirts in the same size or one size larger than my jeans/pants size. Often, the skirts sit at my hip, rather than the waist, because skirts than fit at the waist tend not to fit in the hips. This results in either a straight silhouette, or one that billows slightly in an unflattering way.
I reached for this skirt in my usual size, but the salesperson recommended sizing down, and then two down. Two down, it fits like a typical mini--quite well at the waist, no puckering, but obviously shorter in length. It stays put when I walk. In my usual size, the skirt is straighter in silhouette, but sits at the hip. Because it's looser, it's more prone to shifting when I walk. It's looser and longer.
The two look pretty similar in the photos, though. Do you think one fits better than the other?
ETA: I wouldn't wear these tights with the skirt, but I couldn't find my wool ones.
