A line Floral Skirt

Red Floral Skirt — A-Line Mini in a Ditsy Print

Size Chart

Order by your waist measurement, not your hips. The middle column is the width of the skirt at the hem rather than a body measurement — this shape flares away from the body, so matching your own hips to it would put you well out. Length runs from the top of the waistband to the hem. Between two sizes, size up.

Small red flowers scattered over cream is one of those prints that quietly works on everyone, and putting it on a clean A-line mini is the least complicated version of it. The waistband sits high and smooth, the skirt flares out from the hip without any gathering or pleating to add bulk, and the hem curves gently at the sides so it moves rather than swings. It's the sort of skirt that makes a plain white top look like a decision.

How to Style a Floral Skirt

A busy print earns its keep when everything else stays flat, so a white ribbed vest, a plain cream tee or a black cami tucked in are all you need. White trainers or flat sandals for daytime, a strappy heel and gold jewellery for evening, a cropped denim jacket when it cools. The A-line cut skims the stomach and hip rather than tracing them, which makes it one of the easiest shapes across apple, pear and hourglass figures — the high waist marks the narrowest point and the flare takes over from there. On petite frames, tucking the top in keeps the leg looking long.

FAQ

How short is this floral mini skirt?
It measures 15.7 inches on UK 8 up to 16.5 inches on UK 12/14, taken from the top of the waistband. That sits mid-thigh on an average 5'6" frame, and because the skirt flares outward it lifts more easily than a fitted mini of the same length.

Which size should I order?
Use your waist measurement and ignore the hem sweep column, which describes the width of the skirt at the bottom rather than how it fits your hips. Take the larger size if you're between two rows, since the waistband is the only part that has to fit closely.

Will underwear show through the pale background?
The print is dense enough to break up anything underneath, which helps considerably compared with a plain cream skirt. Nude seamless underwear is still the safest choice in bright sunlight, particularly across the flat waistband where the fabric sits closest to the body.
