Understated elegance from simple form, stunning colour and quality fabric.
The light weight pure linen has a beautiful drape and texture and has been carefully cut into angled panels. This means that unlike many elastic waisted skirts that are cut as rectangles 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.
The teal colour is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor model shots are a bit over exposed, so tone looks much brighter that in reality. The true colour is reflected better in the studio images on the wall or on the model indoors.
Play it down with a simple tee, denim jacket and sneakers or wear it with a printed top and statement shoes or jewellery to dress it up. Of course it suits a Kite Top perfectly!
100% lightweight Linen. New fabric, not vintage.
Limited edition. Handmade in Sydney’s inner west by a small business.
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 size 10 waist, size 12 bottom, taller than average, wearing the S. Second model is average height, size 12, wider waist, wearing M. Third model is size 8 to 10, quite 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.
