If you have some time, you could try converting jeans into a skirt. I'm not much of a seamstress and I was able to convert jeans into a skirt. There are a ton of tutorials for jean skirt conversions online. Just a thought ;) |

Joyce, I plan on going in tomorrow and will grab them if they are still there. We can make arrangements once I have acquired the skirts. And yes, they are boomstick skirts. One navy and the other is a print. Both nice. Will let you know after tomorrow.

Joyce, I actually might have some. I'm purging my closet and anything I did not wear last year is getting "the boot". All my skirts are between size 6-10 and knee length or longer. I did have some wool ones at one time, would you be interested in them if I still have them?

Oh Krystle this sounds wonderful!! Knee length or longer is perfect, and I think the biggest I could fit is probably a size 8. I would love the wool ones - are they lined? I have to admit...I'm allergic to wool, but I think they are so pretty! Usually if they are lined, and I wear my leggings underneath, it's far enough away from my skin, and as long as I don't touch it too much I'm OK :)

I actually love wearing skirts and dresses. Almost always have one on. I found a wonderful store .... lovemyjeanskirt.com that costume makes skirts to your size/ They also have some ready made ones. I agree with some of the other posts ... thrift stores, clearance sales and old jeans remade are great.

Joyce, Here are the two skirts I found at our thrift store for a quarter each. Let me know if you want these. They seem to be in great shape. One is a small and the other says fits all, but looks the same size to me. They are not lined and not the heaviest material, but with leggings I would think they would be fine. The striped one is actually better looking than the picture. If you do want them I will wrap them and tell you what shipping is. ![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2015/01/DSCF4049.JPG) |

Ok, I went through my closet and the skirts I was thinking of are not in there, so they are either still packed away or I already took them to the thrift store. I'll let you know if I find them!

Thrift shops around me have lots of skirts and quite a few broomstick ones. But the ones here are $2-5, not 25 cents. Let me know if you need more. Are you going to weear them or make them into something else?

This looks like a very old post.
