RipSkirt Hawaii - Length 2 - Quick Wrap Cover-up That Multitasks as The Perfect Travel/Summer Skirt

Comment

I have mixed feelings about this item. I swim a lot and wanted something I could wear to the pool that I could quickly and easily take off and throw in my bag. This is perfect. It is really nice to not have to step out of it. I can quickly put it on after swimming and do other things in it. There is plenty of overlap so there is no worry about it blowing open. I will use this at least three times a week. I was thinking the fabric would be a little softer and drape a little easier as it seemed to in the picture. It is just a bit stiff, but I still like it. It reminds me of the fabric used for mens swim trunks and tends to wrinkle a bit. Im not ironing this! Lol! My biggest frustration is the sizing. I measured myself and ordered based on the size chart, but it is too big, even with the 2" either way allowance. I pulled it tight but it wants to sit down lower than I would like. I am only 5 tall, so when it sits low, it goes to the middle of my knees. I think if it were sized properly it would be just above the knee where I want it. Its too expensive to order another and Ive already worn it out so I cant return/exchange it (I just dont feel like that would be right). I got the plain black one and I do think this could be a five-star item if it fit properly and perhaps draped a little easier, but the fabric isnt really a deal-breaker for me. If you swim a lot or are going on vacation, you really need this. And if you are between sizes and dont really want it to hang low, I would suggest sizing down. To be clear, I did measure where I wanted to wear it. Twice.

This skirt is just darn cute! It not only fits well, but they give you an extra piece of "female" Velcro in case you change size a bit, or wrap around a thicker bathing suit or shorts, leaving some of the "male" Velcro exposed. (This avoids any snagging that might occur with softer tops over the skirt.) Very thoughtful. There are two small gored inserts (not exactly pleats) in the back near the hem that make it even cuter that a regular straight skirt. The material is quick drying, and a great weight to fall attractively. Doesnt wrinkle. The length is very attractive, falling just above the knee (Im 59"). Its is exactly what I was looking for to take on a long trip this fall. I highly recommend!

I loved this skirt so much. However, the color (sand camo) was slightly off. It was much more yellow then the picture portrayed and I really couldn’t get it to match with anything. So sadly, I returned it. I loved the fit so much so I will probably order two more in other colors. I’m giving it 5 stars because I realized it was more of a color preference for me, nothing wrong with the product. The fit was perfect. I ordered a small and I am 5’6”, 140 lbs with an athletic build. I wear a size 4 in jeans. The skirt hit an inch or two above my knee. I had room to spare around my waist and can adjust it due to the Velcro fasteners. I can’t wait to order more. It will be an amazing skirt for summer.

I love the fabric and fit of this easy summer wrap skirt. Great as a swimsuit coverup but can also be worn all day long away from the pool. But the pocket is so tiny you could not even fit one credit card in it - so you might as well consider this skirt does not have any pocket- and that is a disappointment. A nice deep side seam pocket on both sides would be a very welcome addition! The lack of pocket and relatively high cost for this simple skirt is why I did not give it 5 stars. Also just a note - while the Amazon purchase provides free returns - if you go looking at the RipSkirt website for more styles, sizes or colors beware that the return shipping is NOT free when ordering direct. I made that mistake once.

I cant wait to exchange this skirt for the correct size. According to the size chart I should be a medium but it was way too big. So big as a matter of fact that the velcro patches actually passed each other. It (almost) fell off when I made it as small as it could go. I am 55" 130 lbs and ordered a medium, I will return for a small. I love the material and I plan on wearing this skirt to work. If it works out Ill be buying many more!
