Miley - Organic Brushed Cotton Wrap Skirt in Romantic Check

This might be my favourite Lucy & Yak Purchase of all time. Yes, the denim is very heavyweight but I love the true a-line it gives the skirt. It also feels substantial enough to wear on colder days with fleece leggings. It looks good weight pretty much any top. I also appreciate that they give you two different buttons so that you can make the skirt a little looser or a little tighter.

I'm really sad because I have been wanting a skirt like this for a while, and I have been a long-time fan/customer of Lucy&Yak, so it was the perfect match. I don't know if I got a dud, but I ordered a US22, which shows a 46.1 waist on their sizing chart, and it was supposed to be a relaxed fit as well. I tried it on, and it was nowhere near close to being buttoned. I ended up measuring the length of the fabric between the button and the hole to loop the button onto because the sizing was so off, and it ended up measuring around 38-39 inches. This is the size I usually get, so I'm not sure what happened. It's funny because I actually bought another pair of pants in this size (granted, they have a stretch band), but they are almost too big. Not sure what's going on with the sizing, which is unfortunate.

I absolutely love the style of this skirt, but the denim is very heavy. While this would be fine in jeans, I do feel that it pulls at the waist and maybe doesn’t flow as well as I’d hoped. I think the weight might be more pertinent to me as I have a chronic health condition which has an impact on how I perceive things.
