Thinking about my failure with the £125 polyester Jigsaw skirt I tried on the other day...I still have a slight hankering after a pleated skirt. Just preferably one that is a bit more substantial and / or less costly - i.e. better value all round.
An online hunt has turned up the following:
Jigsaw shell pleated skirt - £44 - now that's more like it!
River Island Grey Pleated Maxi Skirt - reduced to £24.50 Bit undecided about the grey though (too light?) and somehow looks very maxi, i.e. might be too long on me
Finally, not black - but love the design - (and Kate Middleton was spotted wearing this print in a dress - so would be in good company, amazed it hasn't sold out!) Utter bargain now for just £17.
Great Plains Cezanne Paintbox Pleated Skirt - £17.70
