"Not one criticism of this skirt. It fits beautifully and is detailed with subtlety. I love the stems of the flowers, they add depth and dimension. TTS, gorgeous."

"Pretty skirt with a great fit. I just couldn't figure out what top to wear. Yellow is not a good color on me and black was too much black. Too bad...if yellow is your color, get this skirt!"

one of Anthropologie's better products!
/PostedJuly 22, 2010
Pros: machine washable!
"This skirt is more beautiful in person, hands down. I work in an office and I try to buy Anthro items that work on the weekend as well as in a semi-casual office. This is one of those items. I am very petite with small hips and this skirt (size 0) still gave me an hourglass shape, without making me look too curvy, A-lined for the office.
I didn't mind paying full price for this one, very durable and unique. Lots of small details to make it feel unique."

The details make this skirt!
/PostedJuly 19, 2010
Pros: details details details
"This skirt is really attractive in person. I don't think the computer does it justice. The details are great such as the texture in the fabric, the piping on the waistband and the embroidered stems and flowers. Love that the embroidery is all over through the skirt and also all along the bottom border. There are two cute flower buttons in back too. I think this skirt fits TTS, but is maybe slightly small in the waist."

Pros: good material, great colors, great fit
"I bought this skirt in the Boston shop this weekend. The embroidery is well-done, the colors are very rich, and the cut, for me, was flawless. Fits TTS and will be a very versatile piece for Fall and Winter. Highly recommend it for this price; if it makes it to sale, you've got a real bargain."

Gorgeous Floreat
/PostedJune 4, 2010
Pros: elegant
Cons: none
"This is another gorgeous floreat skirt. I love Floreat, but because I am 5'11'' tall, the dresses always hit about 2 in too short. But the skirts are long enough... Lovely.
Fits perfectly, well made, gorgeous. I ordered a size 6 and it fits perfectly. I am right between 6/8 usually.

This skirt can be dressed up with silk top/tank for evening or made casual with t and flats.
Gotta have it!"

Review 9 for Fennel Flower Skirt
Average rating:
Beautiful! Classy! Perfect!
/PostedMay 31, 2010
"As much as I LOOOVVVVVVE full skirts, they are not that great on me. I'm hourglass, but petite, especially on top and a full skirt really emphasizes the bottom part. Plus, a more fitted look around the knee is much more flattering to my legs. The Skybridge Dress, for instance, was incredibly leg-flattering - much to my surprise.
This skirt is made of lovely, substantial material. It's fairly soft. And all the little details are impeccable - the three buttons on the back (one hidden), the embroidery of both flower and stem.
I have to agree that it does wrinkle a little in the back with wear - actually it creases a bit, but it's no big deal. It's not that noticeable because of the dark fabric. And it's not that bad in the first place.
I got my usual size in a fitted skirt and, being an older woman, was greatly gratified that it fit all over, including the waist.
I've worn it with tops tucked or left out, mostly green and yellow. Today, I'm wearing it with the Ridgeway Blouse, a strand of startling yellow wooden beads and some pumpkin colored cutout booties from Everybody (everything from Anthro today). Fab-a-lus."

Fabulous Skirt!
/PostedMay 28, 2010
Pros: beautifully made and a beautiful skirt
Cons: none
"As soon as this appeared online I put in "saved for later" as I always like to read at least a few reviews to help get a feel for fit, quality, etc. The reviews started coming in and I am glad I waited a bit to order as I took a reviewers advice and sized up one from 4 to 6 and so happy I did. The reviews are such a helpful tool when ordering without the opportunity to try on first. This skirt fits me perfectly in the size 6. A beautiful design, flattering fit, and cut of the straight pencil skirt is a big winner for me. The kickpleat is great once you cut the thread and open up, not hard to walk in at all. It does wrinkle a bit but that is to be expected if you are going to sit in your clothes! I wore it yesterday to a ladies luncheon and received many compliments. I am so very happy with this purchase. The quality is very nice as well. Love the little lined underskirt/slip. Such a nice touch in all my Anthro skirts. An added benefit which I so appreciate with this store! You will love it if this one works for you!"

PostedMay 27, 2010
Pros: flattering shape, beautiful embroidery
Cons: variations within sizes, runs half size small
"This skirt is beautiful. It's the perfect body-flattering shape, and the dark charcoal cotton contrasts gorgeously against the pretty yellow embroidery. It's so beautiful it made it almost worth trying on nearly every skirt in my size (AND the next one up) just to find one that fit me right. It seems to fit a half size small. Most of my usual 6s were too snug while most of the 8s were too loose on me. (I'm 5'6" 125 lbs and curvy -- I usually take a 4 at Anthro but size up to a 6 in sheaths and pencil skirts because of the curves.)
Falling between sizes on this was a bummer for me but understandable. It happens sometimes. What was less acceptable to me was the variation within sizes, which I think is probably reflected in the variation in reviewers' impressions of fit, too.
I ended up choosing an 8, but the smallest one of those. But I really shouldn't have had to try on two 6s and three 8s just to find one that fit me pretty well amongst all the others. Because of that I have to only give the quality 3 stars, even though the stitching and fabric and embroidery quality are actually really nice. And, also because of that, I have to suggest trying these on and buying in a store if you're at all able to. If not, and if it was me, I'd play it safe and order one size up with the thought that I might have to have a seamstress fine-tune the fit for me.
But if you're willing to do either of those things, I do definitely recommend the skirt. It's really beautiful and it looks fabulous with a white shirt to make the colors pop even more. I picked up a Poetess Blouse on sale at the same time, to wear with it at work. It's the perfect non-cheap and non-cliche'd sexy librarian look. Can't wait to wear it. ;)"

/PostedMay 25, 2010
Pros: beautiful yellow color, super flattering fit
"I overlooked this skirt online as it didn't just jump out at me, but then I saw this hanging in the store on a display...the colors and quality of the skirt are fabulous! I figured I'd try it on, but didn't expect much...I absolutely LOVE it! It fits TTS and I have an odd shape...no hips or rear and normally larger in the waist, but this was super flattering and actually gave me a very feminine shape! I was hesitant if I wanted to pay full price, but it was so flattering that I absolutely couldn't pass this one up!!!"

"I love the embroidery on this skirt. It adds just the right amount to make the skirt fun! What I love about this skirt is how I can easily wear it to work, but I can also dress this down and wear it casually. I get compliments on this all of the time! It fits TTS, I picked up my usual size 0 (5'3 112 lbs) and it hit just above the knee."

Striking skirt--LOVE IT!
/PostedMay 21, 2010
Pros: quality
Cons: none
"The embroidery caught my eye on this skirt since I love stuff like that when it's done well. The fabric is substantial and the skirt is very well made. I tried on my normal size 8 in pencil skirts and it fit slightly close, but with different underwear on when I tried it on again it fit much better. It came right to the top of my knee (I'm about 5'7") which is a good length for me. Also thought it was priced correctly for the quality."

"This skirt ran anything but big on me. It was the opposite: ran small. But I expected as much for a pencil skirt and typically this cut doesn't go well with my hour-glass shape. But this one was passable in terms of the cut on me. I purchased it and took it home to try on with matching shoes; and after basic wear around my house, the fabric gave quite a bit. So maybe it does run big after wear, you should be mindful of this when sizing.
It wrinkled pretty bad from minor sitting. Creased quite a bit at the hips also after sitting. So much so that it just looked too worn. Wow imagine if I'd actually wore it out and about for an actual day. Because of this, I ended up returning.
The print is very cute as others have commented. The color is in fact dark grey as noted, it is not black."

Pros: super cute and comfy
Cons: wrinkles a tiny bit
"This skirt is the perfect length for work and is lightweight enough for spring/summer. It is definitely worth it; however, the skirt slightly wrinkles because of the type of fabric. That doesn't bother me though...what clothing item doesn't? Definitely recommend."

"1. I'm 5'5" tall, 130lbs, 35-28-38 and I bought a size 8. It hits right above my knee. Perfect length.
2. Unlike everyone else, I thought this skirt ran big. It was loose in the waist and I could wear it down at my natural waist. However, I can tell by the shape of the hips that this skirt is supposed be highwaisted and sit about 3 inches above your natural waist.
3. It has a kick pleat, which is sewn shut when you try it on. You'll have to cut this open after you buy it. However, it does make the skirt feel tight and ride up when you walk. THis will go away after you cut open the kick pleat.
4. Love the fabric. It cool for summer, but with winter colors. Perfect for all year round in Florida."

"This is a gorgeous, gorgeous skirt in person! The embroidered flowers are so feminine and delicate, and the raised black stems complete the sort of Asian inspired look. Based upon other reviews, I expected the skirt to run super small, but I took my regular size 8. (5'3, 145lbs with buns, hun!) LOL This skirt will work at work or dressed up with sexy heels!"
