Yes, it can be worn alone. I have the short sleeve one in the same fabric (that is no longer available or I'd order 10 more!) and I wear it alone all the time. My long sleeve one I usually wear under something, but only because I don't think the plainness of they style is as professional looking (and I have my Kates for that purpose). It's not see-thru or anything and the fabric is attractive. It does run large - I have a medium in it like all my Ibex stuff and it's definitely bigger than everything else I have. They may be compensating for shrinkage, but I haven't put mine in the dryer, so I don't know.

I actually have a black LS one in my shopping cart right now, but I'm trying really, really hard not to purchase (that, and a zephyr and a shak for my husband...)!

Hi fellow wool weenies! Now the Ibex sale is improved, with free shipping! (oh dear) this means I can order, think about things, then order more. I wanted the Pizzi skirt last season, when it was 100% wool. this summer's model was a wool/cotton blend. anyone have experience with this in Ibex apparel? I am concerned that it might be more prone to bagging out, wrinkles, or just be too lightweight to look nice like my other (100% wool) Ibex skirt does. I ordered the men's boxer shorts on sale in small - for PJ bottoms so far......learning to sleep with hot flashes this summer - phew! Tokie

Is that autumn I smell in the air?
THey probably added cotton to the blend for a reason.. Maybe it hangs better?

Yes, it smells like Autumn here too - got down into the 50's last night (thank heavens). They said the cotton was to make it a more summer-weight fabric. I should just call them to ask about it. Tokie I called Ibex - they said the weight and stretch of the Pizzi and Rue skirts and their dress - all with the wool/organic cotton/nylon blend - is quite similar to the Lena wool skirt from last year. Sounds good to me - I'll let you know!

Autumn's in the air...the WoolWeenies thread is kicking up again!

I was just thinking that it's time for this thread to ramp up!
So far, been able to ignore the emails from Ibex.
