brehon Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'm frustrated right now. I've been on what seems like a perpetual search for a nice, knee length or just a bit longer, plain black skirt for dd11. I can't find one! I've looked all over the Austin area plus the San Antonio area this morning. She needs one for when she's serving at Mass. Where do you find nice looking, plain black skirts? DD is petite.

The last one I bought that was long enough (tall here) was at Goodwill! Brand new with tags. It is the only place I could find something long enough to wear to church and formal events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 You'd have to check the length to see if it's long enough, but I have this skirt and not only is it super comfy, it also looks nice and not like sports clothes material. http://www.titlenine.com/product/172566.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=fn I would wear it to church as an attendee, but her height will determine whether or not it is acceptable for serving. I'm petite myself and it hits me right at the knee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocomom63 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) My dd12 got a nice knee length black skirt at Target in the juniors section just recently. I'm not sure what stores you've been too but these are the ones I can think of that might have something: Target Justice Old Navy The Children's Place (maybe) If you are looking in the little girls' section, try the juniors section. We had to go with the super small sizes for my dd but the skirt fit. And I would second Goodwill as well.

Jaybee Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Land's End may have something that will work in their school uniform section: http://www.landsend.com/shop/school-uniforms-girls-women-skirts-skorts/-/N-g5m?brandCode=classic&cm_re=lec-_-global-_-glbnv-school-_-20160525-_-txt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehon Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ha! I was in a hurry, but should have listed where I've looked. Target, Walmart, old Navy, and various thrift stores in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Is she still in children's sizes or is she in adult sizes? You may be able to find something at Gap, Ann Taylor (check clearance racks), Kohls, Macy's, Dillard's, or even Amazon. I have better luck finding specific clothing items online. I recently found a black skirt at TJ Maxx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kebo Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I imagine one of these would work.... many offer free returns if it doesn't work out for you. I would order several likely candidates and return any that you don't want. https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=black+skirt+girls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brehon Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks everyone. I'm sitting on the grounds of an army camp waiting for my eldest to be released from CAP. The mobile service is quite limited here; so, I'll check the links when I return home. Dd is still in kid's sizes, usually a 10, but sometimes an 8 depending on fit.

Charmaine Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I've got the one! If you go to jcpenney.com, search for "by&by Girl Skirt with Panels". I've been buying this same skirt in various sizes for various daughters for years now. (They have a maxi skirt too, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.) The "Skirt with Panels" comes to or below the knee, depending on size and height. It has an elastic waistband and a nice soft flared shape, and it washes and dries well. Looks great with a variety of blouses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 The Classic Clothing Store has made-to-order black a-line skirts in denim or twill or in polyester or linen. They can make them in any length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
