I absolutely love this skirt. I own several Athleta skirts and skorts, and this is one of my favourites. If you're looking for a breathable, 100% linen skirt for warm weather, this one is an excellent choice. The length is perfect. It falls at mid-calf on me, and I'm 5'7", making it flattering and ...easy to wear casually or dress up. One thing to note is that the white fabric is slightly sheer (as linen is). I wear nude-coloured Thigh Society shorts underneath, which completely solve the issue while remaining lightweight and breathable. With those on, I don't have to worry about anything showing through. The front pockets give the skirt a slightly casual look, but I have still worn it dressed up. The pockets are also surprisingly functional. They are deep enough to comfortably hold my phone, and each pocket has a zipper, so I never worry about my belongings falling out. That is a feature I really appreciate, especially when travelling or shopping. For sizing, I normally wear a Large (size 12) in Athleta bottoms, but I purchased this skirt in a Medium. The elastic waistband is still very comfortable, and because my hips are not particularly wide, I found the Large had too much fabric through the hip area. Sizing down gave me a much more flattering fit. Overall, this is a beautifully made, comfortable, and versatile linen skirt. It is breathable, practical, and easy to style, making it a great addition to a summer wardrobe.
There is something about the length and line of this skirt that looks like it came from the closet of the young evangelical girls from the local church who wear a-line midi skirts with leggings underneath. I say that not to disparage, but because I'd imagine that it's hard to find those skirts onlin...e! But the real deal-breaker for me was how sheer it was. Standing in my closet, I could see straight through the skirt, revealing the pattern of my underwear. Not for me.

Love this skirt! I'm 5'7 and 130 pounds. The extra small was a perfect fit and I know I'll wear this skirt a lot.

The skirt was comfortable yet stylish and accentuated my curves without being too tight. Goes with everything and can wear from daytime into evening.

I bought the blue and white in the wide leg pant and absolutely loved it so I came back for the skirt. I also have it in black. Athleta did a fabulous job of placing the pocket liners so that they aren't obvious but still provide a bit of extra modesty in key spots if that is a concern for you. Hope this continues to be offered, especially in the gorgeous brown they offer in pants.

Like the skirt and fabric, well made. Only wish I ordered one size down because it feels a little bulky

I love this skirt - it is cool and comfortable. I do not find it's too see-through if you wear nude underwear. Sizing seems to be about right on this one.

Fits really nice. Breathable fabric for summer. The white is definitely a little see through but wore some nude coloured shorts with it and had no issues.
