Amerikan Basics Reviews

This skirt is nothing like the picture. I am 5'7" and a size 10. I received the large (went by the instructions, size Lg is 10-12) and it was skin tight and comes down to mid shin. I would not recommend anyone purchase this.

Way too small. I wear a 4 and ordered a M. Guess I needed a L or XL!!

Way small and the dye came off and turned my hands black while trying it on. Very disappointed. 😔

I ordered 2 sizes bigger than my actually size and it still was too small.

A little shiny and cheap looking. Not sure I'll get much wear out of this.

I’ve ordered several of these from different people. I order 1 med. usually just the right fit and 1 large. I am a size 7-9 and the large size is very tight. Maybe for a pre-teen

Fabric was shiny and not what I expected and it fit way too tight even though I sized up.

I ordered a medium and wear small/medium in stretchy pencil skirts. This is very tight fitting and longer than my other skirts. I feel it’s not sized correctly.

Runs way small!

Fit and length were great (I sized up), however, this skirt turned my skin black. I've never had die transfer to my skin like this before. My hands and legs, and especially knees were covered in black after just 3.5 hours of wear. I had to scrub with soap and a washcloth for nearly 30 minutes and still have black knees and knuckles. The slip I was wearing is also stained black now (note the slip was needed because the skirt was so sheer). I'm bummed because the fit and length were so excellent. Going to try a color-fast treatment and hope for the best.

Very small

The seam on the front hem has already started to come undone. I have worn it twice. Poor quality.

This item runs very small

Cute skirt. Comfortable. I normally wear a medium but purchased a large hoping it would fit. Pencil skirts tend to be too clingy but this was way too small. Definitely not a large and probably not a medium either. I’m disappointed. I’ll be sending it back.

Holding it up the skirt looked like a small. It stretched over my size large behind but it wasn’t “too tight”. The material is thin but comfortable. Wish I could have ordered extra large.

I usually wear a small but I ordered a medium and it was too tight. Loved the fabric and color.

Way too tight. I usually wear a medium so I read the reviews and sized up. Still too tight.

I ordered the small normally wear a 4 or sometimes 6 and the waist has plenty of room but the butt/hips are unflattering-ly tight. It is also quite large at the knee so I don’t get the “pencil” look with it.

You can't try the skirt on without getting dye all over yourself. The skirt is a nice fit; however, they need to work on the dye problem.
