Glassons went viral recently when its $40 take on the trendy wardrobe addition proved a hit among fashion loving buyers.
Its chic array of colours — coming in black, wine, dark green, navy, khaki — and its comfy elastic waistband had shoppers sweating with excitement.
Just like with the latest Kmart find, many shared selfies wearing the item, declaring their love for it.
Tina told news.com.au the popularity of a midi was down to the fact it's so "versatile".
"A midi skirt is a wardrobe staple, so the trending satin version is the perfect blend of versatility and style," she said.
"It's also one of those trends that will last for seasons to come thanks to its classic cut."
