Rated 4 out of 5 by arletta good for knocking around
Since I have found reviews from others so helpful, I decided to begin adding my own comments. I bought this skirt in both the khaki and olive colors. My usual size is a 12 and I am about 5'10". I have a terrible time finding pants and shorts that are long enough in the rise and that don't give me that muffin-top roll at the waist so I resort to wearing skirts in summer. This skirt has an easy fit at the waist and allows me to even tuck in a shirt comfortably. I really appreciate the fact that is doesn't have a kickpleat in back -- much more modest and age-appropriate. As a reference for length, the skirt hits me about an inch and a half above the knee. I am not a fan of drawstring waists, but since the waist is not elasticized the tie in front is not a major issue with how the skirt fits. Easy wash and wear; however, I never dry anything with cotton in the fabric list.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Reviewer721 Cute comfortable skirt
Style is flattering -thx for not making too short. Bit of stretch makes it comfortable. Agree with Pittsburgh reviewer who mentioned buttons fall off quickly - my experience too. Love neutral colors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PNWRain Nice fabric but the sizing is way off!
This skirt runs HUGE! I ordered a size 10 and the actual waist measurement on it is 33 inches, not 29 1/2 as it says on the size chart. I'm going to send it back and exchange it for a size 8, keeping my fingers crossed that it will be small enough!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Southwestgal Super, comfy, pretty skirt!
I have this skirt in every color. I can't say enough good things about them! I really love the styling, the colors, and the fit. They're perfect!
It's easy to wear, a good length, and the colors are as pretty in person as they are on the computer. I like to wear the skirts with blouses or tee shirts. They look nice with sandals or flats.
They wash well. They dry quickly in a medium dryer. The colors stay true and they keep their crisp lines.
I've never been a big fan of skirts, preferring pants and capris. Now I wear these skirts and I get compliments every time.
I love my cargo skirts!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JoaniesMom Buy This Skirt !
Run don't walk, to buy this skirt. I see that it is sold out in the smaller sizes, or I'd order another in a different color. It is a nice design- not clingy but not at all baggy, casual but looks nicer than shorts, very versatile. (I did cut the drawstrings off as I rarely tuck tops in and they make a bump under knit tops.) I bought the Dusty Olive and hoped it wouldn't be too green, and it is great: reads more gray than green.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ChemeeMom What's Going With The Buttons?
I purchased this skirt last summer. It is a great skirt in terms of style and material. I love that the style is different than what I see at most stores. The material has a little stretch to it which is a good thing at times. However, the skirt does get bigger by the end of the day. I ended up exchanging for a smaller size after 2 wears. The reason I didn't give more stars is because the buttons easily come unsewn. Last summer, I was lucky enough to catch 2 before they completely fell off. However, I just lost 2 others. The skirt came with one replacement but LL Bean doesn't stock replacement buttons for the skirt so I'm out of luck for the other lost button!!!

Wish it came in a petite length as I am 5'2" it is too long. Would buy more colors if it was shorter, not worth the expense to have several shortened. Good value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Blizzardj Fantastic Skirt!
I love wearing skirts all summer long vs. crop pants or shorts. I tried this skirt on and instantly fell in love with it. It is a little longer length, which is hard to find and also very flattering on. I can see this skirt being at the top of my summer wardrobe pieces this year. It was an excellent purchase on my part!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ArizonaCruiserLady Comfortable and good looking
Really like the look and construction of this skirt. It is so comfortable to wear. I was concerned when I read some reviews about the buttons fell off when first worn. But I did not have that problem. Love the skirt!

Rated 3 out of 5 by NewEnglandPreppy This is a COTTON skirt
The skirt is beautiful, and I love it in every way, EXCEPT IT IS COTTON (99% cotton, 1% spandex). It is advertised as "ripstop fabric," that is great for adventure weekends. I was expecting nylon. Normally, I would prefer cotton to nylon, but this time I was purposefully shopping for a non-cotton, quick-dry skirt. I find the wordplay with the fabric frustrating, and I wish they had just said it was ripstop cotton. Complaining about the fabric aside, it's a great skirt. It looks great, and the fabric is sewn with a ripstop pattern. It fits well, has a good feel, has a lovely color, and has lots of good pockets. It's loose enough to allow free movement, so I like that it doesn't have a revealing kick pleat. I'll actually end up keeping it. But if you're looking for a nylon skirt...umm...this one is cotton. I'm between sizes but heavier on the bottom, so I sized up and will wear it slung on my hips. It fits well this way.
