Or something close to it? I really like it, and I think it would be great for spring/summer.

The links on the website I got the picture from are dead. Google Image Search that I did yielded no results other than this photo, nothing close to it, but it's possible someone else might think of something I didn't.

It looks like it's from a 2013 blog post, and from a store that no longer exists. I think you'd have to find something similar or used.

Right, which would be fine, but I'm not seeing anything.

I like that it's a trumpet skirt that isn't super fitted through the hips/thighs/to the knees, and doesn't have a front closure, nor does it seem to be pull-on/very stretchy. The fabric has some give, and isn't extremely clingy, which is perfect.

Grrrrr.

My favorite skirt is mid length and flowy, I haven't been able to find anything like it. I bought some on amazon and they're either way too long for a short girl, much much smaller than the stated size or poufy. I'm too fat for poufy, I want flowy.

None of them quite spot on but similar:

Cecilia, I have the first two skirts. The first one is great, and I have it in a whole bunch of colors and patterns. The second one is not so great, and after this season, will probably be gone from my wardrobe.

I like the seaming in this skirt, so I am specifically NOT looking for one of the pull-on jersey-type skirts. I also like the fact that the skirt doesn't have a seam in the knee area, but is made from full-length panels.

I asked my SIL who is an FIT-trained seamstress, and she feels gabardine would be the best fabric to use to get the look (ie, appropriate for work/casual, not a formal skirt). I hate to ask her to make it for me (though she probably could do it in an hour or less!) because she won't let me pay her for it, and also because I'd need to get over to her house when it would be convenient for both of us, and that's kind of a pain.

A few more possibilities:

A little fuller and in a fabric with less body

Similar style but seems to be only in black

Love this blue print one!

I think I'm just going to try to make one. Either gabardine, or ponte de roma in a medium to heavy weight.

When I can find some time. Haha.

I have both tissue paper and muslin, so I can do a mockup after creating the pattern, just to make sure I'm happy with the fit. If I can't get it to work, I can use the fabric for something else.

This one has similar lines. It's wool though, so not exactly the right time of year.
