Sangria Skirt

The drawstring waist allows you to adjust the skirt to suit your shape, and the slightly flared design ensures that it will hug you in the right places and skim over the rest. Sangria looks especially good over a pair of biker shorts or leggings — making this chic piece so functional that you can wear it on a hot date at a winery or even ice skating with friends during the cooler months.

  

This flirty lace skirt comes in six sizes with drawstring waist. Choose the size that matches the hip measurement; skirt will stretch to hug body. (Waist sits about 2 inches below the navel.)
