Love this piece!
This is the most versatile piece of your wardrobe you'll own. It packs well and is flattering as a dress or skirt. I would suggest buying one size smaller, but overall a big winner!

Great Summer Skirt/Dress
This is extremely versatile and super comfy! Can be worn as a skirt or dress and I've done both. You can dress it up or down and I've even used as a bathing suit coverup! Superb quality. I love Patagonia products and am very pleased yet again. Excellent price from Altrec! Will definitely continue to be an Altrec customer.

Great!
I now have 3 of the skirts in different colors and I love them. Extremely comfortable, good looking you can either dress them up or down. Highly recommend.

Looked much cuter in the picture
I bought this skirt in meditation green, and just didn't like the print very much when I saw it in person. The skirt was also longer and baggier than I thought it would be (guess I should have paid closer attention to the measurements!)
I didn't like the length as a skirt and when tried as a dress, my tiny frame was just lost in the billowy material. Had to return it.
It did feel comfy though!

Great travel skirt
I bought this skirt for travel, especially for touring cathedrals in Italy. It is lightweight and cool and hangs nicely. I am 5'9" and 140 lbs and the M fits perfectly. When I wear it with the top band flat (not folded), the hem hits about 4 inches above my ankles. When the band is folded completely over, it hits just below my knees -- very versatile in length. It washes well and looks pretty good straight out of the dryer, but looks a little better when touched up with an iron.

Wonderful dress/skirt. The color is vibrant and very beautiful. The lenght make it versatile. Although lots of review said that it runs big, for me my usual small was perfect.

A Great Choice!
The Kamala skirt is a great choice. It fits beautifully as a skirt and as a sundress. I wear a standard size 10 and the medium was a perfect fit. Wrinkles fall out easily when traveling. This piece can be dressed up or down with a scarf or leggings, and can be worn year round.

Great for travel
The Kamala skirt is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing I will ever own. For a trip to Asia, I just plan to bring a couple of shrugs for when it's a dress and a few tank tops for when it's a skirt. Had to size down like a lot of other reviewers recommended.

KAMALA SKIRT
Fun to wear. Easy. Fabric stretches and is slippery = tops fall nicely over. Good color for spring. Made pretty well, but probably won't last forever. More of a fun purchase for hot weather. Easy to hand wash and take travelling. Dries fast. Overpriced for what it is.

Skirt That Does It All
I was a bit hesitant to buy this skirt due to the price. I got it on sale but it still wasn't cheap. However after bringing it to Thailand and Cambodia I decided it was worth every penny. The skirt travels well and the wrinkles shake right out, even after being stuffed in a backpack. It can be dressed up with a nice shirt or dressed down with a performance shirt and flip flops. It also works well as a beach cover up. The skirt it comfortable and flattering even on my somewhat chunky frame.

A Must Have!
I didn't buy this at first because of the price. Wow I'm glad I did. Worth it at twice the price. A modest skirt huge on style, not frumpy because of the drape and way it sits on the hips. Great as a dress- at 41 I wasn't sure I could pull it off but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too skimpy. Great material perfect fit. I usually order up with patagonia but I ordered down with this. Gonna buy another!

Versatile
Awesome skirt/dress. You can wear this over your swimsuit at the beach, with a tank as a skirt, or put a pair of leggings underneath for colder weather. It's very comfortable, and versatile- great for travel

Now I have two
I bought my daughter this skirt. When she told me that she needed two more I bought one for myself. Incredibly comfortable, light weight, wear right out of the dryer, many compliments. Now I have two.

Most versitile skirt
I own four of these skirts: two in medium, two in small. My weight fluctuates and the medium slides down sometimes and is too large, but the small too tight if I am a bit bloated. I am 5 ft 6 and weigh 110-115. Waist band ultra comfortable but downside is it shows your tummy buldges. So I wear a long top over it to hide my tummy or for dress, a jacket. Unless you have a totally flat stomach, you may want to cover the waistband. It doubles for beach or dress up! It travels well without alot of wrinkling and doubles as a summer dress (tie around neck) which on the hottest days is wonderful! It is so amazingly comfortable I wear it even in the Michigan winters around the house, but could also wear it for events in the summer. Actually, due to the organic cotton, I put it on as a dress on the hottest days and it's totally cooling. I adore it's unique design, like a transformer toy...now it's a skirt, now it's a dress!

Skirt that Flatters even when 9 months Pregnant!
I am so happy with this skirt. The fabric is thin and smooth, but never clingy. I love the length, and the waistband is very forgiving of a post-pregnancy body! It's very easy to wear with a tank and sandals, and I will definitely be getting it in another color.
January 22, 2011
love it and highly recommend, but...
Do buy this skirt! it is amazing - fabulous fabric, great look, I get compliments all the time! BUT - do heed the advice given by pretty much every reviewer and buy a size OR TWO smaller - it stretches. I am 130 lbs, 5'7' - so normally i'm a small or even a medium. I bought this skirt in XS - and it fits just right.

Wore this skirt ALL summer
Super comfy and cute. I really did wear it all summer. Was cool and easy to move in. I am sad the weather has cooled off and i have retired this skirt to my closet for the winter!!!!!!

Great quality and color!
As usual Patagonia does not disappoint with their superb quality, fabric and color choice. This skirt is comfortable no matter the time of day or weather. As stated in a previous review, it is a bit loose fitting after awhile, but I haven't encountered any major problems with that-- most clothes stretch out over the day as it is. I haven't ventured out in public wearing it as a dress yet, but at home it fits well with a strapless bra underneath. I'm thinking I will wear it out with a yellow sweater sometime and see what I think. Overall this is a cute and versatile piece that I will happily wear for years to come!

Patagonia Never Disappoints
I love Patagonia skirts - I now own nine - this purchase was as good as all the others - the skirt is comfortable, well made, fits well and makes me feel good when I wear it - it is an addition my fall/winter collection and looks great with a sweater and boots.

Sweet Skirt
Very adorable and versatile skirt-- the floral pattern is pretty without being overwhelmingly girly. The skirt looks as cute with a pair of sandals as it does with heels, and is super comfortable. I ordered my usual size of medium, but perhaps could wear a small. It is somewhat roomy in the waist and sits fairly low on my hips. It's a bit long for my 5'3" frame, but I am quite happy with the purchase!

Patagonia Kamala Skirt
Great skirt. Runs true to size. Casual to dressy depending on accessories. Would not wear as a dress due to lack of bust support. Looks great with boots! Soft, flowing material. Very comfortable.

Great Skirt
This is a great skirt for wearing on the go. Throw it in the backpack for a short trip or a long vacation. Skirt hugs at the top and flows at the bottom. Great for adventure or a night out.

My Favorite Skirt
This is a casual and comfortable wash and wear skirt. It is good for weekend play or weekday work.

Needs elastic, better fit around waist
I really love the fabric of this skirt, so I bought two. Unfortunately the fabric stretches with wear; by the end of the day, I have to use wrap the tie around my waist just to keep the skirt up. Since this is a pull-up style, it needs to be forgiving enough to fit over the hips, but snug enough to stay up and that's where it fails me. I would rather have elastic in the waist than the tie, which only pulls the waist in a little. I'm 5'4", 120-130 lbs, ordered a medium (tried a small on in store and it was too snug ... but maybe that would have been the way to go since it stretches so much). Even tried rolling the waistband for a tighter fit and it just looks bulky.

love it!
I wear size 6 pants and bought a small in the pink hyacinth print, it is perfect. Comfy in the warm weather but still looks a little dressy. I love it so much I think I wore 4-5 times in the two weeks after I got it. I haven't worn it as a dress, but the front is a bit shorter than the back due to how a halter dress works. Wouldn't stop me from wearing it that way, though.

Good all around skirt
Great skirt. Very diverse. Looks cute with a tank top or t-shirt, and even a fancy blouse. If you dare...the skirt looks great as a sleeveless sundress! Perfect length!
July 2, 2010
feminine, comfortable and flattering
Really love it. The skirt fits perfectly- I vary between a 6 and 8, and am tall with curvy hips. Fabric is flowy, not clingy, but thick enough it is not see through. Didn't know it could be worn as a dress, I'll try it.
June 20, 2010
Perfect Skirt/Dress
Everything about this skirt/dress is great: tea length skirt, just at knee dress, beautiful flared cut. Soft, lightweight, but forgiving fabric. I ordered 1 size smaller so it would stay up as a dress and I am not small chested, but pretty balanced. Washes very nicely - hung it to dry. It's gonna be great for travel.

great skirt
I really like this skirt. The material is so soft and comfortable. I am 5'5" 128 lbs and bought a small based on other reviews. It fits perfectly as both a skirt and a dress. As a dress, it falls right about to my knees or slightly above. Larger breasted women (such as myself) will definitely need a strapless bra underneath when wearing as a dress. They hyacinth northern light print is beautiful. I see there are now other prints/colors available so I may order another :-)

A Cute and fun skirt
I bought the Northern Light skirt and found that it is fun and lightweight. It is long enough that I am able to commute on my road bike with it on, and I have also enjoyed wearing it as a bikini-bottom cover-up.

Excellent travel skirt
I took this skirt on a trip to Africa last month where I wore it a lot. The fabric is super comfortable, and it worked well with all my t-shirts and tanks. It did stretch out after a week of use, which didn't bother me. Next time I would get a size smaller, however.
April 27, 2010
NOT FOR ME
Love all my other Patagonia skirts. But this one was way too small for me. I ordered my normal "medium" and it was a lot too small. Don't know if it was just me, or the skirt is cut more narrow than the others. Sadly, it had to go back. Cute, cute fabric though!! Bright and cheery print.
April 27, 2010
Love it
I think that this skirt is fantastic. I am giving it a 4 out of 5 because it is a little see-through.
April 12, 2010
Great Skirt
Great Skirt! The fit is very flattering. I will definitely be ordering another color.
February 23, 2010
Best piece of clothing
This makes an awesome dress and skirt. I bought a coffee colored one for a vacation and settled on a size too big (I'm a medium and I ordered a large, because it was all I could find). It was waaayyy too big. I still love it...I since ordered a plum medium and it is perfect!...I would definitely order to your size.
October 1, 2009
love this
i love this skirt so much, that i actually went back and bought a second one. i wear them pretty much every day, sometimes as a dress. they are so lightweight, comfortable and versatile. i may actually buy a 3rd in another color. only issues, so minor that it would never stop me from purchasing: gets stretched out pretty quickly and the pink one is a little see-through, so you have to remember to wear lighter underwear.
July 30, 2009
very versatile
I got this to throw over my swimsuit on vacation. The academic blue color is very pretty. Haven't worn it yet to see if it stretches out as the other reviewers said. I like the cut and how it can be worn as a dress or a skirt. If it works well, I might order another in brown.
July 28, 2009
light weight and comfortable
I live in San Diego where it can be quite warm, great for a day after the beach or at the beach. The fabric feels nice on your skin and for me it is the perfect length. I agree with ordering a smaller size. If I didn't read the reviews, I would have ordered a med, glad I got the small. 5'4 135lbs

Great skirt - good dress.
I love this as a skirt! Very comfortable and looks wonderful. I have been able to wear it throughout my pregnancy so far and am certain that I will be wearing it to the end. I agree with other reviewers that the material is a bit thin for wearing as a dress and the coverage on top can be a little less than desirable. However, I like it enough that I am thinking about ordering another in a different color.

Cute summer skirt
Just got the skirts in the mail - ordered the xs in plum and espresso color. The color is very pretty/vibrant. It fits fine as a skirt. However, I thought the material was very thin. Tried it on as a dress and I wouldn't wear it as a dress. I'm not big on top, but it didn't offer enough coverage! Unfortunately, I will be returning them to look for something thicker. If you don't mind the thin fabric, it's really cute!
April 22, 2009
cute!
This skirt is really cute! I personally feel that, as a dress it doesn't exactly cover what it is supposed to. It definitely runs a little big. Really comfy and cute overall!
June 28, 2008
perfect summer skirt!
This skirt is so comfortable and cute! It has a very flattering fit around the waist-the foldover. And yes, you should order one size smaller than you are because it does stretch. BUT I love it so much I ordered another!
June 25, 2008
Cute, nice design but...SEE-THROUGH!!
Just got the Kamala in shell pink. It fits perfectly, it's really cute, but the fabric is too thin... This is surprising /disappointing since it is a Patagonia. I will return it and hopefully be able to get this skirt in a darker color, or get a refund.
June 18, 2008
Great buy!
This skirt/dress is fantastic for many different occasions- that is the beauty of Patagonia clothing! My only concern is that the top is not as form fitting as it looks in the pictures, you might need some extra support.

Summery and Sexy!
This is a great skirt to feel sexy and comfortable in. Great for relaxing at a laid back BBQ or for a nice dinner date. Absolutely love the versatility and comfort!
April 28, 2008
thumbs up!
This skirt is very fun and flirty. Dries quickly so don't be afraid to get it dirty. I ordered a small but wish i ordered an Xsmall. As the day went on, the skirt started to slide down my hips:(
April 23, 2008
Summer skirt
I absolutely love this skirt. I feel sexy and comfortable at the same time! Great for any summer time activity!
April 21, 2008
Good
I like the skirt. It is soft and feels good on. I ordered a M and it seems to be true to size.
