The verdict
Fit
Rib knit adds vertical emphasis and gentle compression. Expect the piece to skim the body without cling—maxi length with likely modest waist ease.
Quality
Ribbed knit construction at this price suggests durable elastic and a stable gauge; Ted Baker's knitwear reputation holds at outlet.
Is the price fair?
Outlet pricing for a textured maxi is solid value; full price would likely be $120–140, so $87 is a genuine discount.
Best for
Someone seeking a structured, occasion-ready maxi that doesn't require ironing and works for evening or workwear.
Care
Knit fabrics benefit from hand-wash or delicate cycle in cold water; lay flat to dry to prevent stretching.
What owners report about Ted Baker skirts
Skirt-specific coverage is modest but consistent: rental-platform reviewers rate one of the brand's leather skirts 4.5 of 5 across 39 reviews, with most calling it true to size while about a third say it runs large, particularly in the waist. The few retail owner reviews of the pleated midi styles are positive about color and occasion versatility. Forum discussion of the wider line holds that the clothing is more design-led than good value — worth it when the fit is right, but overpriced at full retail, with the standing advice to buy on sale.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise the distinctive prints and occasion-ready designs, and rate the skirts highly when the fit works.
- Watch out for
- Fit skews roomy on some cuts — a third of renters of one skirt reported it ran big in the waist — and forum posters call the line overpriced at regular price.
- Sizing
- Most owners report true to size, but enough report waists running large that trying a size down on wrap and high-waisted cuts is a reasonable hedge.
