Wevez Womens American 25 Yard Cotton Skirt

This is a really lovely skirt, but its being sold half-done. Summary: Dye is not rinsed out. Must wash multiple times before wear or it WILL stain skin and furniture. Cloth is delicate, recommend no agitation and air drying. Colors will fade a little after the surface dye is rinsed but color is set. If youve ever dyed a garment you know that the cloth can only absorb so much. All the excess must be washed out. Now, I expect a tye-died garment to probably bleed a bit, but with this skirt its as if no rinsing was done at all. It arrived slightly humid, with a powerful smell of dye. I dampened the edge of a white towel and gently swiped the hem, and a streak of yellow transferred immediately. I was worried that the dye was not set at all so I took a before picture (photo 1) and then added the skirt to a tub of cool water. Dye poured out. The photo of the bath shows the water after the THIRD bath. No soaps or agitation, just water. After 4 soaks in the tub, I changed to the washing machine. Again no soap or agitation, just soak and spin. After three cycles of that I added a teaspoon of Eucalan, soaked, spun, and did a final water-only soak, spin, and air dry. The good news is that the dye is set - the colors went from very bold and crisp (due to surface dye) to slightly faded in comparison, but the colors stayed. There was some color change- gold and turquoise on the top turned to green and turquoise, but nothing unattractive. (Photo 3) The bad news is that it was still releasing a lot of dye. I added a cloth diaper to the last 2 rinses, and Photo 4 shows what happened (regular white diaper shown as well for color reference). The final picture shows how delicate the material is. The colored item is the skirt, which has a gauzy weave. The white item is a cheap flour sack kitchen towel. Because of the volume of the skirt, the transparency isnt really an issue, though the modesty panel is tiny and doesnt help. However, I would NOT wash this in a machine with agitation. It can handle being soaked and spun, but I think it would tear to bits with stirring. I am still concerned that the item may stain so I will be careful wearing it until Im sure there is nothing left to release.

Exceeded my expectations. An absolutely gorgeous skirt. I already own another one from this company and plan on buying more. Im 511 and the length is perfect. It looks amazing held up at the edges when doing dance twirls.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this skirt. I bought it during pregnancy and it also fits postpartum because the waist band can be tightened. Considering purchasing additional colors. It is well worth the value. I am 5 foot 6 inches tall and it was floor length. If you are on the shorter side, this may be too long for you, but it fit me perfectly.

it is perfect!

It’s comfortable, and flows nicely away from your body so it’s not too hot in the summer. It fits great, and I feel really confident in it. It’s an inch or two longer than I’d ideally like, but I’m only 5’3 and it’s not nearly as long on me as some skirts of this style have been in the past. I’m giving this 4 stars not 5 because this skirt is incredibly striking, and while that sounds like a selling point, at first I found myself having a hard time finding things to wear it with or occasions to wear it to. The longer I own it, though, the more I find myself wearing it and enjoying it.

Not hot pink. More like a light rasberry.

Amazing love it, will order more

I LOVE this skirt!! I’ve worn it to work twice already! I work as a teacher at a Middle School that focuses on Arts. I received many compliments on it and it is so fun to wear!

Got it to give as a gift. Now I want one of my own. It is exactly what I was hoping for, great adjustable waist, beautiful fabric and so big I can lift the sides almost to my head on both sides!

I get so many compliments on this skirt. Have loved hippie, flowy skirts my whole life but were all so bright ick. Happy to have gothic version!
