from the Mashburn site about this skirt "There is a skirt on our line this fall that is cut on the bias and really does the trick. Cutting the fabric this way – diagonally – totally changes the way it drapes and moves around your body. Even in the menswear-ish houndstooth fabric… it makes you feel like a girl. The thing I really love about this skirt is the physical sensation of wearing it. The material kind of swishes around your legs and there is a smooth elastic waist… you just pull it on and go. In that way, it is sporty and modern – a feminist sort of femininity – not unlike Midge Maisel"
