Lizzie W 10 Jul 5:21pm, 10 Jul 2024 28,650 posts	0 Lizzie W Hello, I know this has been covered before, sorry. Flanci skort sizing - the chart says XXL is 20-22. My old winter weight leggings are 4xl & were too tight... I know the winter weight came up small, but not sure whether to go for 2 or 3xl!
geordiegirl 10 Jul 5:26pm, 10 Jul 2024 23,126 posts	0 geordiegirl I find the sizing is generous apart from the winter which is definitely tight. So for reference I am a 12/14 I wear small as I prefer things to be compression fit, they do colour fade across my tummy but I'm ok with that. I have the odd skort in a medium which is a looser fit but in winter I need a medium. Hope that helps @Lizzie W and Flanci will always exchange if you feel you'd prefer the different size.

Fragile Do Not Bend 10 Jul 5:44pm, 10 Jul 2024 12,077 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I’m size 16 (maybe creeping into an 18) and wear XL in Flanci as I hate things to be tight across my tummy. I could probably squeeze into a large if I didn’t mind a tight fit.
Lizzie W 12 Jul 8:13pm, 12 Jul 2024 28,653 posts	0 Lizzie W Thanks for the Fetch discount. I resisted Juniper and have ordered a blue peacock skirt. I love the foxglove one, but couldn't face seeing my legs in the bright pink undershorts! Now a 5 week wait...

Velociraptor 17 Jul 3:35pm, 17 Jul 2024 69,931 posts	0 Velociraptor I see Tikiboo announcing today that they'll have to change their business model to avoid going under. I'm not surprised, considering they've had so many flash sales recently. SbD almost all pre-orders and old stock now.
geordiegirl 17 Jul 3:41pm, 17 Jul 2024 23,283 posts	0 geordiegirl It’s the overstocking constant new stock then selling it off to get rid of it, it’s not sustainable long term people get a bit sick of it. I hope their new plan is sustainable they do have a good strong following.
Middleearth 18 Jul 10:00am, 18 Jul 2024 First-time poster!!	0 Middleearth Hi everyone, I am from New Zealand so ordering from the UK I cannot easily return items. I have Flanci and Tikiboo skorts that I absolutely love, size wise I am a xl (but can do a L) in both brands. I am looking at Sturdy By Design and assume the xl will be about right. How does the split skirt feel for running? I love the movement of the Tikiboo skort. Fabric of the Flanci I find a little on the stiff - pokey out the side type of movement if that makes sense? What experience does anyone have running in a SBD skort? Thanks all in advance.
