Mountain Hardwear Women's Wagner Gene Skirt

Quality Skirt
This is a great skirt. Very well made. The A-line cut makes it very comfortable. It does run large. I had to return for a smaller size.

Sizing is Off
In the Mountain Hardware Strada skirt the size 8 fits me perfectly. So that's what I ordered in this skirt. Erk - not only is the waist tighter than the Strada, but the hips are too snug for my preference as well, and I have very narrow hips for my size! So I ordered the size 10. Erk, again! It's too big in the waist, but it fits if I let it hang lower, so the length is a little lower too. I couldn't decide what to do as it's an awfully cute skirt, so I've kept both, which sounds horribly decadent: the 8 for my slimmer days and the 10 for my puffier days. I have since lost about five pounds and I suspect the 8 will fit well and the 10 will fall off. It's an adorable skirt, but I wish Mountain Hardware would treat their skirts like their pants, with a little "give" belt to make the fit perfect.

Waist is Way too Big
The waist is way too big on this skirt. And I really don't like all the contrast stitching. But the skirt is super comfortable, lightweight, and after washing and drying it comes out with no need to iron. Flattering knee length, not too tight around hips, and looks good. I will take in the skirt about an inch around the waist. I got the size 12, the waist is still big but the hips might be too tight in a size 10. 5 feet 7 inches tall, weight 185, with big hips and thighs.
