A bias cut skirt is an elegant classic that is having a little resurgence of late. My new take uses the clean lines and simple shape to showcase the unique joy and vibrancy of vintage fabrics!
Wear it in a casual, modern way, perhaps a nod to the 90’s, with a basic tee and sneakers. You’ll feel so comfortable and colourful! It’s also great for a summer party or festive occasion, dressed up with special shoes and some fun jewellery.
The shape is perfectly balanced by a Kite Top but suits something as form fitting or oversized and loose as you please, make it your own.
The elastic waist has a smooth clean finish and sits high, at the smallest part of the torso. Then it hugs the body, following over own natural curves with a very subtle kick at the hem. The midi length suits various heights, definitely over the knees if you’re tall and won’t swamp you if you’re short.
A great new summer statement that’s easy enough to become a staple!

SIZING & FIT INFO
I generally describe my designs as “average to generous” and whilst I try each design on different people during development, the more women that I see in it, the more information I have. I would now describe this is more average than generous.
So if you are often in between sizes, then choose the bigger of the two. It suits both curvy or straighter body shapes - within the same size it is suiting women who are hourglass or wider through the middle than bottom etc but it may not be right if you have a large proportional difference between your waist and hips.
Model is size 12, wearing size 12 - average height, wider through the waist/tummy, flatter/narrower through the bottom/thighs.
When laid flat the measurements do not accurately reflect the dimensions of it worn, due to the nature of cutting on the bias, so only waist measurements are provided.
