Columbia Sportswear Ashtanga Skirt

This skirt is very comfortable. The waistband is about 3 1/2 inches wide and doesn't have any elastic -- it is just made out of the same material as the skirt, but it works! I am short (5'), so the short skirt is about mid-knee on me, but if I feel like making it a little shorter, I just roll down the waistband. From the picture, I was expecting the fabric to be a little shinier (like swimsuit material), but it is a matte, heavy knit, making it a bit more casual. I still like the skirt -- it pairs well with t-shirts and tank tops -- and I think it will hold up well with multiple wears and washes. The envelope-style pocket is sewn on the inside of the waistband, and it is just the right size for a credit card -- I don't think you could fit anything else in there without it feeling uncomfortable against your stomach. This will probably end up being one of my favorite skirts!

The ashtanga skirt is cute, comfortable and goes with anything - it's about as multi-tasking as a skirt can get. Not too short to wear out and about, not too long to wear in the heat. It looks good pulled over a bikini or over leggings (but not over jeans because that always looks silly).

I am not one of those girls with a flat rear and I ordered a large initially...but ended up returning it for a medium and it fits perfectly. If you prefer backpacks to purses, freckles to makeup and nalgenes to martini glasses, you'll love this skirt.

Comfortable, flattering skirt hits perfectly above knees in 20" length. If white logo didn't show on hip I would wear it to my business casual office. Size down for a good, not tight, fit (I am 5'1" w/38" hips and normally a 6/Med, but a Small in this style). Pocket is an exaggeration... more like a condom holder stashed in the waistband. Quick dry non-shiny black fabric has perfect amount of stretch. Good buy on sale, will wear on weekends and definitely for travel.

I like this skirt very much for everyday wear. I was surprised by the fact that there was no casing of elastic for the waistband, and that the waistband is actually just a shirred band of the skirt material, cut a little smaller than the skirt itself. The skirt stays up/on fine, better than you might think from my description, and the look of it blends well with other pieces, for a nice everyday skirt you can wear anytime.

This skirt looked and felt so comfortable, but it was too big in the waist. With no drawstring or way of making it smaller, I had to send it back. I have a larger hip to waist ratio and size mediums work well for me in most styles, but unfortunately this wasn't one of them. Too bad, the length was perfect and the fabric great - but I'll stick with Prana's Bliss skirt, which works better for me.

Described as 27" skirt but more like a 22" skirt

The skirt is okay. I read another review saying that it runs big, so I got a small. I am normally a size 4 and the skirt was super clingy and tight. No free and floating the way the picture looks. One wash in cold water, hanging dry and all kinds of lint and dog hair stuck to it. A little upsetting for the price. I am not even sure I'll wear it again.

I agree that this skirt runs big! It's a great cut, totally comfortable. Took it on a trip to italy, and wore it only a few times...It balls up, and looks really bad after a few wearings. I'm disappointed, as it looks much older than it actually is.

Nice skirt, a little big, and the top doesn't fold over very well - rest of the skirt loses its shape and the inside tag doesn't appear to be removable...?
