A long corduroy skirt with a button front and layered panels that fall open as you walk. The cord is medium weight, warm without the bulk of a winter wool, and the waistband is elastic right through. It is the skirt we reach for when the weather is cold enough for boots but a heavy coat is still too much.

Heavy corduroy on a maxi turns into a curtain. We cut this one in a medium weight cord so it keeps the warmth and the texture without the mass, and the drape stays soft all the way to the hem. The surface is smooth in the hand rather than coarse, and it does not take a crease across the lap after an hour of sitting down.
The button front runs the length of the skirt and gives it a line that a plain tube does not have. The layered construction underneath moves against itself as you walk, which is what creates the drape rather than any stiffening in the fabric. Fastened all the way up it reads as a straight skirt, left open at the bottom it swings.
A high elastic waistband, so nothing fixed has to meet an exact measurement and nothing digs in when you sit. Two side pockets hold a phone, keys or cards, which on a skirt this long is the difference between carrying a bag and not. The band is wide enough to stay flat under a tucked in jumper instead of rolling into a cord of its own.
Brown, black and green. Our chart gives waist, hip and length in inches across five rows: 34.6 waist and 55.9 hip at XL, 47.2 and 70.1 at 5XL. Length runs 35.6 to 37.2 inches. The rating is 4.7 but from only 4 people, so it is early days on this one and we would rather you read the figures than the stars.
