Everyone loves Connie for the understated, elegant shape and these new ochre, pink and black stripes now make is so striking and special!
The soft, natural fabric has a beautiful drape and texture, which has been carefully cut into angled panels. This means that unlike most elastic waisted skirts that are cut as a square and feel bunchy and bulky around the waist and hips, the Connie Skirt has soft gathering and drape over the tummy, then flows out to the hem where there's more volume - just enough for a little romance without being cumbersome and heavy. It's this subtle difference and care in construction that has made it a customer favourite for years now.
Play it down with a simple tee and sneakers or wear it with a fitted top and statement shoes to dress it up. The Kite Top makes a natural pairing, creating a balanced and comfortable silhouette. It looks amazing with lots of different colours from neutrals to contrast brights like forest green, fuschia and cobalt blue.

SIZE & FIT INFO
There is quite a bit of flexibility with the sizing due to the elastic waist and where you like it to sit on the torso. I've now seen this style on lots of lovely varied body shapes and it is running true to size.
First model is average height, size 12, wider waist, wearing M. Second model is size 10 waist, size 12 bottom, taller than average, wearing the S. Third model is size 8 to 10, tall, wearing S.
To check your size, lay flat a favourite skirt and compare your measurements to those below. Note that this waist measurement is when the skirt is flat with the fabric gathered in by the elastic, not fully stretched out. There’s much more space/fabric when it’s stretched, to easily glide over the hips.
