Women's Mini Swim Skirt Swim Bottoms
Product Details
Web ID: 16079370Cute, but higher waister than expected
I bought this because I like to wear swim skirts (for reasons), and love the Lavender Fusion color. I ordered the size 12 based on the fit of a size 14 I had ordered in a different color. I noticed the size 14 came up to my proper waist, well above my bellybutton. I thought maybe it was because it was a size too big. I wanted one in this color, too, so I ordered in a size 12 this time. The size 12 also comes up almost to my waist, again well above my bellybutton, and I can hardly tell any difference in the fit between the 12 and the 14. Maybe the 12 might be a little snugger, but TBH, the size 12 and 14 don't look or feel that different. The skirt seems comfortable and well-made. I would say, order the size you think you need, based on the size chart, realizing that the waistband may come higher than modern low-rise swim bottoms. The fit and styling is fine for me, because, being a more mature woman, I'm pairing these with tankini tops, so I wasn't really looking to show much, if any, midriff. However, if you are looking for a low-rise swim skirt that hits below the belly button, this isn't it. I would suggest that Lands' End consider keeping this skirt in the lineup, for those who are looking for more coverage, but add back in a shorter, low-rise mini swimskirt with a side slit, as other reviewers have requested. (At one time, I would have been among those requesting that.) I rated this 4 stars, based on the unexpectedly high waistband.

Super disappointed in the change in style.
I’m so sad you changed this product! I loved the old style with the wider waistband - it laid so nice and flat and did not dig in. This new style is not at all flattering to me. I have bought these many times over the years and am so so sad to not be able to get the size 8 in the older style with the wider waistband and slit - was a PERFECT bottom.

cute skirt
Love the color and the length. Sizing is spot on and it matches the bathing suit I purchased to go with it.

Good value.
I ended up returning the skirt, but not because it didn't fit, or because I didn't like it. I simply decided that I'd rather have more coverage as I'm over 60. But it fit well, was attractive and I would recommend it.

Snorkel Time
Liked the straighter skirt vs a flared skirt. The back rides up a bit so there is a little line of fabric where it meets the waistband. I feel like I will have to pull the skirt down every so often when in upright position.

Elastic on legs very tight
I love the color but the fit is aweful. very tight around the legs. Took it on vacation so didn't have many options. Can this be returned?
