That's the only measurement that has to fit, because the skirt is pleated and flares away from the body below the waistband — the hip column includes all that pleat volume and isn't a body measurement. The UK equivalents come from the actual centimetres rather than the letter sizes, which run a size optimistic at the top of the range: the two largest sizes fit a UK 14 and a UK 16 rather than a UK 16 and 18. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the lace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrisp black knife pleats falling from a wide flat waistband, with a deep panel of scalloped floral lace set into the bottom third so the lace pleats along with the fabric rather than hanging loose beneath it. That construction is the whole point — the lace moves as part of the skirt and shows in flashes between the folds instead of sitting flat like a trim stitched on afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain black with an inset floral lace border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e high, wide flat waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth over the waist, then full through the pleats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e knife pleats running through a scalloped lace panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e gigs, dates, city days, evenings out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e year-round, with tights and boots in winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Pleated Black Mini Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and lace can tip either coquette or gothic, and the top half decides which: a white corset-style cami and gold jewellery sends it one way, a fitted black long-sleeve and silver rings the other. Ballet flats or loafers for daytime, a heeled boot after dark, and a small structured bag either way. On fit, pleats released from a high flat waistband mark the narrowest point and add volume from the hip down, which is genuinely flattering on straight and apple shapes because it creates a waist and skims everything below; if your hips are already your widest point and you'd rather not add there, a flat A-line mini with the same lace hem will keep the line much narrower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you see through the lace panel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, in the open sections of the pattern — the lace is a genuine openwork border rather than lace laid over solid fabric, so light passes through it. It sits at the very bottom of the skirt across the thigh rather than anywhere sensitive, and the pleating means the layers overlap constantly as you move, so in practice it reads as texture rather than exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the wide waistband sit flat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt does — the band is a smooth, unpleated panel that sits high on the natural waist, with the pleats released from its lower edge. That keeps the stomach line clean and gives you somewhere solid to tuck a top into, which is why this shape looks sharper than a pleated skirt gathered onto elastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"black \/ XXL","offer_id":58400228442447,"sku":"14:193#black;5:4182","price":57.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ XL","offer_id":58400228475215,"sku":"14:193#black;5:100014065","price":57.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ S","offer_id":58400228507983,"sku":"14:193#black;5:100014064","price":57.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ L","offer_id":58400228540751,"sku":"14:193#black;5:361385","price":57.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ M","offer_id":58400228573519,"sku":"14:193#black;5:361386","price":57.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Black-Mini-Skirt-And-Lace-Trim.webp?v=1786111531","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/black-mini-skirt-and-lace-trim","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
