I've always had a problem with buying skirts on the high street. Most skirts will either fit my hips, but are baggy on my waist, or vice versa, which is a real pain, because choosing to buy fitted skirts from online shops like Missguided, Boohoo and Ebay just isn't an option. I had never really considered getting a custom made skirt before I was introduced to Rita & Phill, and with their super easy 3 step way of ordering your perfect fitting skirt, I was intrigued to say the least. Rita & Phil only need to take three measurements from you: your waist, hips and thighs, then all you need to do is choose your skirt design, and which material you would like. I instantly fell in love with the pencil skirt design with the zip down the middle, and thought the black embossed material would go with so many things in my wardrobe. 

They have worked with women of many shapes and sizes and have used their experiences to understand and create custom adjustments to each skirt according to each woman’s measurement, body shape, height, and proportions. This means that they don’t just change the measurements on each skirt.  They also use a different cut, to make sure the skirt not only fits you, but that it also flatters your specific body type.
