Ah, I love my trumpet skirts. Sadly, I've lost weight (well, YAY I've lost weight, but BOO nothing fits, dammit) and mine don't really fit well any more.
But, speaking as a curvy gal who has been all sorts of sizes, I think the trumpet skirt is the single most flattering cut of skirt there is. Ever. And Lora at L Rose is an absolute sweetheart, AND the quality is utterly fabulous. Plus if you're on the short side like me, or impossibly tall (you lucky things), then the made-to-measure element is worth it's weight in gold alone.
Can you tell I'm a fan?
I think most of us here are!
