I guess I’m on a roll finding great eco-friendly long skirts…I just love them. Here’s another favorite by Gaia Conceptions:
Gaia Conceptions is a wonderful eco-friendly independent designer selling through Etsy (I have a long tube dress by Gaia Conceptions that I purchased last summer and look forward to wearing it again soon!) Each piece is made to order, you can choose from tons of great colors, AND you can send in your exact measurements and any specifications, and she’ll cut your piece especially for you! Talk about service…I want one (or two) of everything she makes!
I have a thing for long skirts and long dresses – mostly because my calves are my least favorite part of my body, but also because they’re so easy to wear. You don’t have to worry about crossing your legs just right, or getting out of cars amid screaming fans and paparazzi without flashing them (oy!) like you do in a shorter skirt. Long skirts are flattering on nearly everyone, and can be an essential in a casual wardrobe.
This one, by Raw Earth, Wild Sky at BTC Elements, is my new favorite. I love the “mermaid” cut and the diagonal stripes (VERY flattering – especially if you have hips and a butt like me) – and it’s made from organic cotton jersey, so it’s super-soft, and lightweight:
