Hi,
Deck your skirt with boughs of holly with this cheery piece, handmade from upcycled holiday sweaters. Cozy and festive, each one-of-a-kind skirt adds dash of holiday spirit to your winter wardrobe. Because one holiday sweater is never enough. Made in the USA.
Each skirt will have 10 panels total, including five solid colored panels in fall/holiday colors (black, red, blue, green, etc). Three panels will have patterns (plaid, dots, argyle, etc). Two panels will have a decorative Holiday motif (Christmas sweater material). The waist band will always be black t-shirt material. Please note this skirt runs large. It is best to order one size down.

Growing up, Michigan farm girl Sandy Martin witnessed first-hand the the health repercussions of conventional farming with pesticides. Later, when she worked in the apparel industry, she saw how some manufacturers negatively affected the environment and communities where they operated. So with the help of her husband Jim, Sandy founded an apparel company based on honesty, environmental awareness, and high-quality American-made designs. Their manufacturing process is completely green and uses no PVCs, plastisols, heavy-metal inks, or chlorinated bleaches. They reclaim waste fabric from their own production, from other garment makers, and from thrift stores and give these cast-offs new life in creative items like T-shirt scarves. Headquartered in a 19th century horse carriage terminal on the shores of Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the Martins' operation is dedicated to creating apparel jobs both there and throughout the U.S. They also work with Aspiro, a non-profit in Green Bay, Wisconsin that specializes in teaching job skills to cognitively disabled adults. Some of the Martins' designs are cut and sewn by adults in the program, promoting independent living.

I purchased this skirt for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. She has not seen it yet so I cannot report on how she likes it, but it rates high on the cute list in my opinion. I was concerned about the patterns I would receive as the skirts are all different, but was delighted to see the use of really nice pieces for this skirt. (pictures attached) It appears to be sized correctly. I ordered the XS because my daughter-in-law wears a size 2 and has a very small waist. The waist band is black and folds over. The skirt is 22" long, 26" wide (at the widest point...the bottom) and the waist band is about 3" wide when doubled over.

I was SO excited when I saw this skirt online and read in the reviews that it ran BIG. I normally wear 2X, so I took a chance that it would fit since it had a stretchy waistband. I LOVED the cheerful, Christmasy look of the skirt and couldn't wait to get it.
Upon arrival it was clearly NOT the holiday skirt. NOTHING about this skirt says "holiday." Seven of the 10 panels are blue, ranging from baby blue to navy. Two panels are black (one with a snowflake), and one panel is cream with baby pink. Obviously this is the regular sweater skirt and NOT the holiday one. I immediately went online to see if I could order another HOLIDAY skirt, but they were out of stock in my size. I'm guessing when they ran out of the holiday skirt, instead of informing the customer, they just opted to send the regular skirt in it's place. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. That skirt is the one thing I had bought for myself for Christmas and I was so looking forward to wearing it.
As far as the rating, I gave 1 star for the concept of the skirt and 1 star for the fit. As I said, I'm usually a 2X and this XL fit perfectly. The length of the skirt, hitting at the knee, was fine for me (5'11"). It felt comfortable and cozy. The waistband fit well; snug and comfortable. The great fit of the skirt makes my frustration even greater. Had this been in the correct skirt, I would have gleefully gotten a lot of wear out it. I would have considered keeping this skirt if there had been more contrast to the panels, but baby blue and pink are not my colors.

this product is so cool, BUT runs really big, and GROWS as you wear it, but nights ends I'm holding it up ... I wish I would have down sized by 2 sizes smaller. I LOVE it so much, I may be forced to reorder it 2 sizes smaller!!!!

I happened to stumble upon this website looking for a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. I saw this amazing skirt (for myself!) and after reading the reviews saying it runs big, I ordered an XS (I am 5'4", 125lbs.) but I am almost always a size S. It arrived today, and even though it doesn't have cute, little animals anywhere on it, it has snowflakes and other Christmas-ie features that I just love! Perfect timing. It fits well, looks great and I can wear it to my company luncheon tomorrow! I can't wait!! And since I will only be able to wear this each December, I bought the regular sweater-skirt that I can wear all year round. One panel on that skirt has a peace sign, flower and dove. Super cute!

As per others' advice, I ordered one size down and the skirt fits perfectly. It is a nice just-below-the knee length and it is well made and so festive. Perfect for the holidays!

Comments about Recycled Holiday Sweater Skirt:
Due to the other reviewers, I purchased one size smaller and the fit was perfect...except for the length. If you're petite, this will be long. Mine came way below my knees. :( So, to compensate, I wore black suede boots with this and it looked great. (They need to offer a petite length.)
It's super comfortable. Not just because it's got a knit, stretchy waist (Eat all you want at the party!), but the knit itself is comforable. I didn't even wear a slip because it's not necessary.
I know that no two are the same, and mine was cute with partially having Santa's sleigh with a cute teddy bear at the end of it and a house below, and then some ski scene on another panel. That one had beads, but they were sewn on well.
Inbetween those two was a white knit that had some textured pattern. One was a long vertical line of knit in some different stitch. Well, this was cut off-line and so the line did not fall straight and it was smack dab in the front. I didn't bother to return and get another because I might have not liked what I got as a replacement.
Well, I wore this to the party and no one else had anything else like it. A couple of women asked about it and I said it was "repurposed." They all laughed and said it was just darling. So, if you want something to wear that no one else will be wearing, get this skirt. I wore it with a black cashmere cardigan that had rhinestone buttons to give it a little more elegance and less casual look.
My only complaint/suggestion is I kept moving my hands searching for pockets. If would have been nice to have some pockets in this (not sweater knit as this would make width and be too bulky. Perhaps made of some thinner cotton knit fabric.) Other than that, it's just perfect for the holiday parties.
Merry Christmas to all of you who read this also!

Comments about Recycled Holiday Sweater Skirt:
Love this idea! I read that it runs big, so I ordered a small, and it was still too large on me. (I am 5'5" and 140 pounds.) I don't think the length is very figure-flattering either. If it wasn't so expensive, I would have kept it for an "ugly Christmas sweater" party. But unfortunately it was just a miss for me.
