How does the sizing run, and should I order my usual size?

Sizing appears to run mostly true to size, with 12 out of 17 reviewers mentioning a good or perfect fit. Customers reported a size 16 fitting well in XL, a size 12 fitting perfectly in Medium, and one reviewer who sized up needing to exchange back to her usual Small. A few reviewers noted the waist is generous or stretchy, so if you are between sizes or prefer a neater fit, sizing down may be worth considering.

Is the lace good quality, or does it feel delicate and sheer?

Reviewers consistently describe the lace as luxurious, classy, and high quality, with 10 customers specifically praising the lace, lining, or fabric feel. The skirt is lined, and one fuller-figured reviewer specifically appreciated that it was not sheer. Several customers also said the lace elevates the skirt without looking too fussy.

Can I dress this skirt up and down?

Yes, versatility is one of the most common positives, mentioned by 7 reviewers. Customers wore or planned to wear it with heels for dinner, flats for a stylish casual look, and mixed it with different tops or cruise outfits. Reviewers described it as a piece that can look glamorous, classy, or relaxed depending on styling.

Is the skirt comfortable to wear?

Yes, 7 reviewers highlighted comfort-related details including the soft lining, stretch, forgiving waist, and easy drape. Customers said the waist has enough stretch to feel comfortable and not restrictive, especially around the tummy area. The two-layer construction gives it weight while still feeling wearable and polished.

Is this skirt warm, or can I wear it in summer too?

Because the skirt is lined and has two layers, several reviewers found it warmer than a lightweight summer skirt. Four customers specifically described it as great for winter with tights, spring, autumn, shoulder months, or cool nights, while two noted it may be too warm for very hot summer days. It is best suited as a transeasonal piece rather than peak summer wear.

Is it flattering for curvy bodies or fuller figures?

Yes, multiple reviewers with different body types described the skirt as flattering. A size 16 customer said the XL fit perfectly, and a fuller-figured reviewer appreciated that it was lined and not sheer. Others liked the forgiving stretch at the waist and the option to size up if they did not want it sitting too snugly over the lower tummy.

Are the colours nice in person?

Colour was a standout feature in 7 reviews, with customers calling the shades gorgeous, glorious, versatile, and easy to love. Reviewers mentioned Cherry Red, Antique White, black, and other colours positively, and several said they were considering or had already bought another colour. The colour options seem to be a strong reason for repeat purchases.

Is this a good skirt for travel or a cruise?

Yes, it looks well suited to travel based on reviewer feedback. One customer said it was excellent for travelling because it does not require ironing, while another bought it specifically for a cruise and liked it as a mix-and-match piece. Its ability to dress up or down also makes it practical when packing fewer outfits.

How is the length, especially if I’m petite?

Length feedback was mostly positive, but petite customers may need to check measurements carefully. One reviewer who is 157 cm, or 5'2", said she had to shorten the skirt, although she found it easy to alter on a sewing machine. Another reviewer said the length was just right for her, so the fit may depend on your height and preferred hemline.

Does this skirt have pockets?

No, at least one reviewer specifically noted that the skirt does not have pockets. She loved the fit, lining, and classy look, but said pockets were the one feature that would have made it better. If pockets are essential for you, this is worth considering before buying.

Perfect skirt to dress up with heels or stylishly casual with flats. So many options to pair it with many of the Dharma Bums tops. Excellent when travelling as it doesn't require ironing.

Absolutely love this jacket. So soft and tailored beautifully. Highly recommend 👌

I love my waistcoat, the material is lovely and soft and the fact it has press studs in between the buttons is such a great idea. I bought both the white and blue and couldn’t be happier

Love the way these linen pants fit, very flattering. Was worried that they might be tight around the waist and hips, but they are shaped well with beautiful lines.

Saw this skirt on website and thought must have it. It has arrived and what a glorious colour. It is so pretty. Thinking of buying the other colours. Never disappointed whenever I purchase any items from Dharma Bums

— Amanda A.

This Chantelle Lace Skirt is so gorgeous and versatile. I bought the Cherry Red one first and love it so much that I purchased the Antique White one. I am a size 12 and bought the medium in both and the fit is perfect. Customer Service was excellent and the Delivery Service was excellent.

Absolutely stunning! So feminine and falls beautifully. Highly recommend

Love these tanks.. I have them in multiple colours. They're a sturdy weave but are still soft and very comfortable. They hold their shape beautifully.

— Robyn R.

Absolutely love this jacket! So comfortable yet it is classy. Fabric is a nice weight so it holds shape nicely. Great for travel. My only regret is I didn’t get it in black before it sold out in my size
