Off topic X post ~ Orvis brand skirt sizing?

Has anyone ever owned an Orvis brand skirt?  I am thinking of ordering one but according to their sz chart I would be the largest size they sell, a 20.  I have skirts here at home in 16, similar style.  I'm just wondering if their stuff runs true to size.  I am having a hard time finding long modest skirts in local stores and I really like the look of their "Prairie skirts".

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

HI Stella,

That is a nice looking skirt!  I've never bought or worn an Orvis skirt so can't help you there, sorry.
 I would go with the sizing on the website, I know it's a pain and expensive to return ship things but unless you have a store near you it's the only way to find out, I guess!

Just wanted to say Hi and hope all is going well with you!

Take Care,

Diane

Thanks  :)

All is well here.  I found out today we have an Orvis store right here in Buffalo!  I had never heard of it till I saw it on line.  I got a couple nice skirts from QVC.com today too.  It;s really hard to get longer lengths these days!  QVC had lots.  I can't wear anything knee length or higher because of the spare skin Shar Pei legs.  

Haha.
