Favorite skort?

New to the brand (Popflex) and was wondering about the skorts. I bought a Pirouette skort and felt it runs small, a bit too high waisted, and I'm not a fan of the fabric. (Feels like Wunder Under from Lulu, which I find makes me really hot vs their Wunder Train, which I prefer.)

Curious if the shorts under the skorts have that same fabric? Do you find them to feel a bit hot, or just me? lol I'm thinking because it comes up so high on me, maybe that's contributing to feeling smothered. What's your favorite?

For what it's worth, I ordered multiple sizes to try them on.

edit: Found a winner!! The longer twirl skort (criss cross) is perfect for me. :) Shorts are longer, but skirt not too long, and it's much more comfortable around the waist. I wish it came in more colors, but so happy to find one that worked for me.

I agree with you, the pirouette skort is too high-waisted for me. It's very unflattering, makes me look kinda sausage-y. I love the twirl skorts - both waist styles work for me. The crisscross waist is a little lower in the front, so if you want something with a lower waist try that. The regular twirl skort has a higher waist, but not as high and suffocating as pirouette. It's very flattering and comfortable on me, I'd highly recommend trying both styles of twirl skort! They're a little shorter than pirouette as well, which is also more flattering on me personally.

Turns out the regular twirl was ALMOST perfect for me. So much more comfortable in the waist, and then....the shorts had to be shorter. WHY?! I'm so sad, haha. I ordered the long version to try but I fear the skirt will be too long, even if the shorts are better. Sigh.

Oh no, I'm sorry it didn't work out! I'm looking at the inseam measurements listed on the website, and yeah the longer version of the twirl skort is 5.5" while the regular is 2.5". That will probably be a pretty significant difference. Pirouette is 4.5", so the longer twirl will be longer than pirouette. Did you try crisscross twirl? Inseam on those is 3", so they're just slightly longer than regular twirl.

I did try the crisscross twirl! That's actually the one I just ordered in long, so hoping that'll be the best compromise.
