The Dream Maxi Skirt
About Everlane’s skirts: Everlane's skirt line centers on its Dreamknit double-knit mini and maxi styles, flanked by dressier pleated-crepe and cotton-silk-organza midis and denim skirts. List prices run up to $168, but steep markdowns across colorways are routine.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Dream Maxi Skirt extends Everlane's Dreamknit franchise — the double knit behind its most popular pants — into a high-waisted, straight maxi with a tall back slit, elastic-trim waist, and invisible side zipper. Owners like how soft the stretchy knit feels and that it dresses up or down; on shorter wearers it runs to the ankle. Caveats: colorways rotate quickly and get marked down steeply, and lighter shades of this knit are not fully opaque per owner reports.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- A soft double knit with a hint of stretch — Everlane lists the fabric as 58% Cotton, 38% Modal, 4% Elastane.
- Fit
- High-waisted and straight, with an elastic-trim waistband, invisible side zipper, and a tall back slit that keeps the narrow cut walkable. The stretch knit is forgiving and owners generally report standard sizing; shorter wearers get a true ankle-length maxi rather than a mid-calf one.
- Quality
- Owners describe the double knit as soft but substantial enough to hold its shape across seasons. The usual fitted-knit trade-off applies: lighter colors are not fully opaque, so what is underneath can show.
- Best for
- Anyone who wants a pull-on-comfortable, machine-washable maxi skirt that reads polished enough for the office or dinner without dry-clean upkeep.
- Care
- Machine wash cold with like colors and hang to dry, per Everlane's care label.
Fit check: Everlane
Varies by lineEverlane has no single direction: the slim tees and shirts run trim and a touch short, the deliberately relaxed pieces (sweaters, wide pants, jackets) run large, and denim sits true to size.
Men's reviewers report the tees and shirts cut slim and short — "their fits are generally slimmer" — and advise moving up a size if between sizes. Women's owners report the opposite on the relaxed styles: one long-term reviewer says "Everlane does typically run a little large, for the most part," sizing down in cashmere sweaters, trousers, and jackets, and calling some wide-leg pants extremely large. Denim and chinos are the stable middle — reviewers take their usual size. The consistent thread is that fit tracks the cut of each line, not the label, so owners lean on Everlane's per-garment measurements.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size in jeans and chinos, size up in the slim tees and fitted shirts if between sizes, and size down in the boxy sweaters, relaxed pants, and jackets unless you want the full oversized look.

How Everlane skirts hold up overall
Independent bloggers who buy and wear Everlane skirts report generally solid make for the price: a cotton poplin skirt "feels high quality" with roomy hidden pockets, and the rigid cotton denim skirt holds you in with no stretch. The recurring gripe is length, not construction — one 5'4" reviewer found the denim skirt "definitely for short people," while another 5'4" reviewer found the slip skirt's supposed midi length wore as a maxi on her. Reviewers also note thin fabrics in some styles and creasing in the cotton and linen pieces, and one long-time customer says the brand has gotten trendier over the years.
- Strengths
- True-to-size fits and fabric that independent reviewers repeatedly call better than the price suggests, with practical details like real pockets.
- Watch out for
- Lengths are inconsistent style to style, some fabrics are thin and unlined, and the cotton and linen pieces crease noticeably with wear.
- Sizing
- Waist sizing runs true to size across multiple reviews, but check the length spec for each style against your height — several skirts run short on taller frames while the slip skirt runs long.
