Free: Lightweight skirt (Kennington OX1) Gifted Lightweight skirt, medium sort of size, hardly worn but has been hanging in my wardrobe for so many years that the elastic has lost its stretch. This could be replaced quite easily; I would do it but since I basically never wear this there doesn't seem to be much point. On the other hand too nice to throw away. You could also wear it without elastic just by tightening the drawstring. Collect from Kennington, OX1. Please say when you could come.
