WOMEN’S SIZES 10-20

The short- and knee-length skirts are unlined. The hi-lo skirt has a lining that becomes a feature of the skirt as the inside of the skirt back is clearly visible. The short skirt and hi-lo skirts have a waistband, the knee-length skirt has waist facings and a wide front tie stitched in at the side seams. All versions fasten with a centre-back zip.

FABRICS

We used printed cotton/elastane from John Lewis for the hi-lo skirt and linen from Cloth House for the knee-length skirt. The silver skirt was made from a remnant.
