Nice but some problems which limit its wearability
The fabric is gorgeous. It is flattering in many ways BUT as mentioned by others, on me it flares out at the thigh - NOT flattering. This also means I am limited in what I can wear it with - cannot tuck in blouses or tees, or even wear fitted tops with it (unless they are long enough to cover the flaw. Will have to wear with a cardi or less fitted and longer tops.
Like another review I read, the side seams do not lie flat, which accentuates the flaring/bulging at the thigh. If you have larger thighs this will be a perfect skirt!
The length is a bit shorter than I expected (I am 5'6") - comes just above the knee, I am perfectly happy with this (I had originally considered ordering petite to ensure it would be more this length), It does fit large but I anticipated this (LE afterall) so I ordered the 14 (16 in skirts elsewhere) and could easily get away with a 12 because of the give of the fabric. I may try this in the hopes that it will get rid of the bulging thigh.

Bulges out weirdly at hips
The fabric feels yummy though

New Favorite Skirt!
I wore this skirt for the first time today - it is my new favorite skirt! I just came online hopeful that it came in more colors, it's that wonderful! It was comfortable and easy to move about in as I worked today. I even received compliments about it's fit!

This is not the same ponte knit skirt that I bought last year
I bought one of these skirts last year and it has been an absolute wardrobe staple. This year's version will not be. A really odd fit on the sides; the seams did not lie flat - little "bulges" every few inches. Appeared to be very poorly made. Maybe the one I bought just happened to be defective??

The skirt was too short
The quality of the fabric was excellent. But because I am 5"2", I always order the petite sizes. The skit fit very nicely except for the length. It came above my knees; and at 69 years old, it just wasn't appropriate. I amreturning it to get the regular length, not the petite.

Love, love, love this skirt!
I have searched for months for the perfect pencil skirt, and I have finally found it in this L.E. skirt. The ponte fabric is perfect, it gives a bit of stretch for comfort, however keeps its shape perfectly even after having it on all day. I did have to get a size down from my regular size but other than that it is fabulous. I really hope to find another color option in the future, like navy or chocolate brown, I would certainly buy them. Thanks Lands' End for another great wardrobe staple!

Nice fit and very comfortable.
Very comfy and will be worn often. Great with black tights. Nice length for long legs.

weird fit
I have been looking for a pencil skirt for a while now, the length is good but the skirt bulged out at the sides, took it back. nice material though..

Fit is way off
I had high hopes for this skirt. I orderd it in two sizes. Both didn't fit. There is an extra 2 to 3 inches around the hip area that just sticks out - I'm not sure if anyone has hips that are meant to fit this skirt. It's very snug along the thigh. I can most often fit into a size 10 in a pencil skirt - not this one. Land End - correct the fit on this skirt and maybe they will sell.

Good quality
Very good quality for the price. I will wear it very often I think.
