"Everything I have ever purchased from Universal Standard fits exactly as I need it too. Thank you so much!"
"The gold buttons on the skirt really "make" the skirt. The skirt looked great with the "midnight"-colored jacket with maroon trim. I bought this a little too big to keep from having my "love handles" stick out. I probably could have gone with my regular size, because the material turned out to be heavy so non-clingy."
"I received this in a Mystery Box, and I am beyond thrilled! It's the stretchiest pencil skirt I've ever owned - I could do squats in it! I usually don't buy pencil skirts because they're so constricting, but *this* skirt? Didn't even notice I was wearing it during my 12 hour day. Wide interior waistband meant it stayed put & smoothed my figure."
"This color is exceptionally beautiful. It’s supposed to be”the” color of the season, but I think it’s a classic color and that it will do well for many years to come. I was surprised by the weight of this fabric. I thought it would be thin and flimsy, but it is quite substantial. The button detail on it is gorgeous and has the potential to be sexy because you can unbutton it. Bravo on this skirt!!!!"
"Great skirt. I ordered it in navy as well. Who doesn't love a classic black skirt? This one fits the bill for everything - work, dinner, hanging out with friends. It is perfect for everything. The weight is nice as well."
"what a gorgeous skirt! The gold buttons make the navy POP. It is a great weight for year round wear and is super stylish. I plan on getting the blazer to match!"
"I love that this is not just a regular pencil skirt. It has a little extra twist with the stripes and buttons laid out on the diagonal. It gives this skirt a little extra oomph!!Oh, and I also love that it's in navy!"
"Such a flattering fit, and the buttons are a nice elevated detail, I will be wearing this a lot."
"Cute button detail"
"very good quality skirt, versatile length and for me it will work in all seasons."
