It's a wrap skirt/tropical prints (several different lengths available) with a velcro closure. I get a lot of ads from them on FB, etc because I keep clicking on them to check them out...
Does anyone have one, do you like it? I'm thinking of getting one.

I do! I really like it, I got it for a cruise and have taken it to Hawaii, it’s a great cover up that looks great!

I bought a skirt a few months ago and wore it quite a bit on my cruise a few weeks ago. I really liked how it gave me more coverage when walking around on the pool deck or the beach but it didn't feel heavy. I bought the length that goes to just above the knee. I'm planning to buy a below the knee one for my Mediterranean cruise next year. On some shore excursions we'll be visiting several churches where modest clothing is required and I think the light weight of the rip skirt will keep me cool enough while still providing coverage.

I want to buy one. I've picked out the length and the fabric I want. But they're quite expensive IMO. I just can't bring myself to hit the BUY button yet.

Yes I have one. It fits well and wears well. Worth the buy.

I'm going on a vacation to St. John USVI in December and have bought 3 of these in length 1 (I'm only 5 foot, 3 inches) so on me they are a decent length. Length 2 hit me at my knees and didn't look attractive on me at all. I anticipate wearing them on the beach over my swimsuit and at night to dinner with one of their t-shirts. I like their t-shirts too except I felt the white one was too see through. Their t-shirt are made of modal which is made from beech trees and is a great fabric-it's cooling, doesn't shrink, is very soft, and absorbs water. From what the website says you can put it over your swimsuit and it dries fast. I hope that's true because cotton takes forever to dry.
I also bought 3 of their beach towels and was very happy with them-they are much easier to pack then terry cloth towels. Have to wait and see how they perform on the beach.
I haven't worn any of their items yet. I'll report back after my vacation on how everything worked out.

I look at them a lot and really like the look of them but I prefer a skort so I'm not sure if I would like one. But I get the ads all the time so will probably break down at some point and try them.

I have three, but only use them as a coverup with a tank top for the beach. I have the shortest ones, as I am only 5" 1", and the only closure is at the waist, so wouldn't wear it without a swim suit under.

Can someone please tell me how much they cost in US dollars? Whenever I try to go to the US site, it automatically redirects me to the AU site.
The prices in AU dollars are:
Length 1 & 2 = $75 ($USD55)
Length 3 = $90 ($USD66)
Length 4 = $98 ($USD72)
I think that price is exorbitant for what they are. That's why I haven't bought one yet. Although I am tempted to buy one then make a pattern from it, then make more myself for a fraction of the price.

Thanks seaexplore . So slightly cheaper once converted, but only just. Even $60 US / $81 AU is still too much IMO. |

So with the only closure at the waist, it seems like it wouldn't work as a regular skirt. I have checked out DIY sewing sites for it. It has to be an easy thing to sew. I was pretty good at sewing WAY BACK decades ago but I'm not sure if I'm up to it with my 40 year old machine (that is actually still working great). Thanks for everyone's info!! |

I have several and have worn them all summer as skirts and beach covers. They are so comfortable in this GA heat. The closure is only at the waist, but there is enough material that that is all you need. I love these skirts.

You can wear it as a regular skirt without swim bottoms under it-just regular undies. There is enough material that it covers everything. Lots of skirts just close at the waist. This one velcros at the inner waist and there is some leftover fabric after you velcro it shut that winds around your waist and velcros shout at the outer waist-where it closes for good. Check out the website-they may have a demonstration of this. |
