I have the original Sarah blue denim scallop skirt which is one of my favourite things in my wardrobe; it is the perfect length and cinches in the waist. I was so excited when I saw that this skirt had been released in lots of different colours, as I had been after the same skirt in black denim for so long! However, I was a bit dubious when I saw the pics on the models... it looked shorter than the original I already owned. I compared the lengths in the description and saw they were the same, so went ahead and bought it in black anyway. I was a little disappointed when it arrived and I tried it on to find that my suspicions were correct and this is indeed shorter than the original! The scallop edging has not been cut as nicely as on the blue denim skirt and the skirt is too short at the back, which is a shame. It is still comfy (although hoping it will loosen slightly in the wash) and I am keeping as, due to the fact it is black, I can wear with black tights without fear of flashing anyone!
