This has been a process, People, and because I love you Ive dragggged you through the entire thing with me.
Im nice that way.
- I waffled (Im a wordswoman. I dont wanna sell apparel.)
- I questioned (I love love love mine.ย Would others love?).
- I pondered (Is there a way to be all (color/style) things to all people? Should I just start with this skirt & go from there?).
And as I did I washed and wore and washed and wore and washed and WORE my sample skirt.
A lot.
Like:
Every:
Single:
Day:
Each time I did people would stop me & ask about it.
Women would ask where I purchased it & share they’d love to have one because they adored the words sprinkled across the skirt.
In turn I found I’d spin and rave about how much I love the way it fit (see raving video below).
And so, only about a year after the idea was born, (Im nothing if not slow and methodical) the skirts are finally here.
I love the cut.ย
I love the fit.ย
I love that —if youre a misfit as I am— it goes from gym to LIFE with ease.
The skirts retail for 48.00 and, by way of full diZclosure since we’re nothing if not always transparent around here, I make 5.00 per skirt.ย
I am donating 100% of that to the Mayan Families charity.
- Have an questions about sizing or fit?ย (There’s a chart here, too)
- Curious when the sports bras are coming?
- Wish it were a tank top instead?
Please to hit us all up in the comments below…please to CLICK HERE to purchase.
Due to the fact Im a one woman show & not a major sportswear conglomerate the skirts will ship approx. 2 weeks after order is placed.

Barbara says
October 4, 2012 at 5:41 amYea!!! Love that you are donating proceeds to charity.
Presley @ Run Pretty says
October 4, 2012 at 5:52 amLOVE IT! This is crazy, because my grandma and I (yes, we are BFFE) were just talking about making running skirts. I am so particular about length, fit, etc that I just want to make my own. So glad to see that it can be done. YOU ROCK for donating the proceeds!!!
Jennifer (Savor) says
October 4, 2012 at 5:53 amExcellent job Carla!!
MCM Mama says
October 4, 2012 at 6:06 amI love it! How long is the skirt? What’s the inseam length? I’m guessing it’s shorter than I can wear, so when are you coming out with the tanks? ;o)
MilesMusclesMom says
October 4, 2012 at 6:09 amLOVE IT
does it come with hot tatt’ed legs? lol
lindsay says
October 4, 2012 at 6:11 amSports bras too? Oh man, i love this! i want to share it with the gym where i work. I think they’d love them!
Brad Gouthro says
October 4, 2012 at 6:12 amDo these workout skirts come in male sizes..haha
Coco says
October 4, 2012 at 6:23 amYes! What size should I get?
Katie @wishandwhimsy says
October 4, 2012 at 6:38 amThat cut looks like it would work for many different workouts. It looks comfortable and you look great! I’ve never worked out in a skirt. Maybe I shold jump on board!
MizFit says
October 4, 2012 at 6:41 amand being who I am I wear the skirt on days I’ve no plans to workout. As a regular skirt ๐
I’m getting a sizing chart too.
Mine is a small.
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says
October 4, 2012 at 7:15 amCan I ask what size jeans you usually wear then–to try and compare?
Or, I own running skirts from Skirtsports . . . how do the sizes compare to theirs?
DawnV says
October 4, 2012 at 6:53 amLOVE this… def ordering. Well done Carla!! Congrats!
Hannah says
October 4, 2012 at 7:04 amFinally!!!!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
October 4, 2012 at 7:07 amLove, love, love this skirt! I’m sharing this for sure! So incredibly cute and functional!
Shelley B says
October 4, 2012 at 7:08 amYou birthed a skirt! So exciting to watch the process unfold…congratulations, it’s gorgeous!!!
Alison @ racingtales says
October 4, 2012 at 7:18 amLOVE everything about this skirt! But what I like the most is that it’s SHORT. Most skirts are too long for this 5′ 1″ gal, but unless you’re a 6′ giant, it looks like it will be perfect for me!
MizFit says
October 4, 2012 at 7:21 amWELL IM a misfit living in hotTEXAS so I literally dont wear jeans ๐
I have a small in skirtsports but it feels … almost too snug for me.
I think it’s the cut (for the reasons I share in the video above) perhaps? Im not sure a medium would be better.
So Id say small in both. I reached out to the company (she’s in CALIF. so 2 hrs earlier) for a sizing chart in inches etc
Jody - Fit at 54 says
October 4, 2012 at 7:26 amLOVE!!! Love that money goes to charity!
Yes, how do they fit sizing wise….. pls do tell..
I would have loved one of them workout tops like I wear to the gym that show the back & arms – like my green/yellow YMX – that racer back look.. but just love the design & words on the skirt!!!
Kierston says
October 4, 2012 at 7:29 amHow cool is that?!
Wifey says
October 4, 2012 at 8:07 amPure AWESOMENESS!

Sam says
October 4, 2012 at 8:22 amSuper cute. Congratulations!
Carrie says
October 4, 2012 at 8:30 amI love it!!! Me want!
misszippy1 says
October 4, 2012 at 8:31 amBeen coveting these for some time now, so I am on it. My question was about sizing, but I saw you covered it above, so I think I’ll stick to my normal size. LOVE that you are donating the profits!
KCLAnderson (Karen) says
October 4, 2012 at 8:39 amYou are just terrific Miz!
Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's says
October 4, 2012 at 8:40 amLove. I’d love to get a skirt with capri’s attached ๐
Jack Sh*t says
October 4, 2012 at 8:41 amIs it available in a three-piece suit?
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting says
October 4, 2012 at 8:45 amYou impress the SHIT out of me. SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
charlotte says
October 4, 2012 at 8:53 amYayayay! I’ve been waiting for this! I want one! Q about sizing: do they fit like the traditional Dirty Red skirts? Or is your style a little different?
robin says
October 4, 2012 at 9:00 amPatiently waiting for sizing info. Wait. Did I say patiently? I meant impatiently. HURRY UP WOMAN, I HAVE A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN.
MizFit says
October 4, 2012 at 9:09 amI KNOW! why are the manufacturer people not awake and working at 7a their time?! ๐
Charlotte it is SAME as dirty red skirts.
Mine is a small.
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says
October 4, 2012 at 9:24 ambtw, there is a sizing chart on the dirty red skirts website, if that helps . . . I just checked. Guess I’m a little impatient, too! ๐
thea @ It's Me Vs. Me says
October 4, 2012 at 9:14 amCongrats on making that come together! That’s awesome.
Mo says
October 4, 2012 at 9:15 amHow cute & sporty! I love this skirt….great idea. And I like, no LOVE, that you are donating the money you get from these. Rock on!!

Mckoul says
October 4, 2012 at 9:32 amI love the design, and would be very interested to see a sports bra, or tank top. Or maybe one of those cute combos that you see everywhere.
Dawn says
October 4, 2012 at 9:35 amSuper cute and I love the video!
Debbie says

Caitlin says
October 4, 2012 at 9:43 amthis skirt is soooo beautiful and the fact that you are donating all proceeds to the cause is, well, even more beautiful. <333 i just made a few big purchases but once enough time has passed and my budget allows it i'd love one of these apologetically beautiful skirts!
Krysten Siba Bishop (@darwinianfail) says

Lori says
October 4, 2012 at 10:19 amCongrats Miz! How exciting!
I can’t wait to hear your first encounter with someone you don’t know and you see them wearing one of your skirts ๐
Sylvia says
October 4, 2012 at 10:25 amOn behalf of your Canadian followers, will you ship to your Northern friends. Are you using PayPal so we can relatively easily pay you.
Miz says
October 4, 2012 at 10:35 amI’ve forwarded this to the manufacturer. I do not believe they use PayPal no and I will let you know what I find out about shipping to Canada.
If only I had more hours in the day I would’ve taken on the shipping myself ๐
Sarah Kay Hoffman says
October 4, 2012 at 10:26 amStellar. No other words:)
KymberlyFunFit says
October 4, 2012 at 10:28 amWhat is the Mayan Families charity and why did you choose that one to receive your profits? I hope you earn tons as I know you like to help others. Here’s to success all around with the skirts.
Miz says
October 4, 2012 at 10:37 amI laugh that I go to spam in can’t get myself out when I try to add a link in comments on my iPhone. It is all detailed in a blog post from about two weeks ago titled: Five months later.
Cat @ Breakfast to Bed says
October 4, 2012 at 10:32 amYou are beautiful, you know that?
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says
October 4, 2012 at 10:43 amOHMYGOSH YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ladies at my gym are workout skirt obsessed! I’m facebooking the crap out of your link – I hope they all buy them =) Obvi I will need to pop my fitness skirt cherry b/c i’ve never worn one! Addorb! You’re my hero!
Miz says
October 4, 2012 at 11:03 ammore sizing info ๐
SIZING 2-6 small / 6-10 med/ 12-14 large/ 16+ XL. If you are a small frame 0-4 XS
Amy says
October 4, 2012 at 11:05 amA#1 – you are awesome.
B#2 – I want one of these post-hasty, but am concerned about inseam length (although why, I don’t know – I am 62″ tall)
C#3 – When you do sports bras, are you going to make them available in all the sizes that athletic women come in? Can I special request that they go up to at least DDD?
D#4 – Yes to tank tops.
and finally –
E#5 – I love me some skull wear. I have a skull tattoo. My son has skull & crossbones outfits. As soon as I know about inseam (which really, Amy, why is THAT the worry?), I will be ordering.
Miz says
October 4, 2012 at 11:15 aminseam is THREE inches
Miz says
October 4, 2012 at 11:26 amFrom manufacturer:
OUR overseas shipping and payments we “welcome”. There may be a slight increase in shipping costs, we R working on that now.
Melissa (@TheDailyMel) says

BK says
October 4, 2012 at 8:12 pmYay!!! Congrats!!!
So excited that it’s finally here!! So I have to ask because I remember the initial discussions… I’ve checked out the sizing and is there enough material for a mama with a lot of junk in her trunk so my hindparts won’t be exposed??? LOL
Nick Lopez says
October 4, 2012 at 10:44 pmGreat job, Carla! It looks great. Very creative of you!
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
October 4, 2012 at 10:52 pmI can’t believe you have your own running skirt – how awesome is that?! They are super cute and I was wondering where you got yours. ๐
BK says
October 4, 2012 at 10:54 pmYay finally!! Congrats!!!
So I see the sizing chart and I remember the initial discussions which brings me to my question….. is there enough material for a mama with a lot of junk In her trunk? Lol cant have my hindparts exposed ๐
MizFit says
October 5, 2012 at 4:46 amI think thats why I have a small? some women my size may wear an xs (?!) but I want that full booty coverage ๐
JavaChick says
October 5, 2012 at 8:00 amVery cute! I love workout skirts for Zumba, and for wearing around the house, so I may just have to get one. ๐
Denise says
October 5, 2012 at 8:09 amThey are beautiful, Carla – well done! I’m going to sneakily get Candace’s measurements so I can get her one, then I’ll wait for V2.0 (the Plus Size option) for myself.
karen says
October 5, 2012 at 11:53 pmOooooh how much I want one of these! (Actually, I want several — now that I’m getting back into the swing of things I WILL need smaller than what I can wear now.)
Patrick says
October 6, 2012 at 10:48 amNow those look cool. I’m not one to wear skorts, probably not a surprise, but if I did I’d wear these ๐
Khaled says
October 8, 2012 at 1:41 amI’m a guy and I want one. These are awesome!
cheryl says
October 8, 2012 at 2:08 pmwish you would have kept the proceeds in the states-there are plenty of families right in your own back yard who could use help.
Tammie Grey says
