Corduroy Pleated Skirt

Brown Pleated Skirt — Corduroy Mini with Button Trim

Size Chart

Order by your waist measurement — the yoke fastens rather than stretching, so the waistband is the fixed point. The hip figure is the garment measurement with the pleats included, so it reads considerably larger than your own hips and shouldn't be matched to them. 

Warm chestnut corduroy, pressed into knife pleats and cut very short. A smooth curved yoke holds the fit flat across the hip with two shell buttons set at one side, and below it the pleats fall in sharp even columns that swing out as you move. The fine ribbing runs down each fold, so the pleats catch light along their length rather than reading flat.

How to Style a Pleated Skirt

Brown cord goes soft and academic with pale knitwear, so a butter-yellow or cream cardigan, a fine roll-neck, an oversized waffle knit. Long socks or opaque tights with loafers or fur-lined boots once it turns cold. Because the pleats are stitched down through a smooth yoke rather than gathering at the waistband, the skirt sits flat across the widest part of the hip and only flares below it — considerably easier to wear on fuller hips than an all-over pleat, while still giving straighter frames movement. It's a genuinely short skirt, so tights or shorts underneath are worth planning for.

FAQ

How short is this pleated mini skirt?
It measures 12.6 inches on UK 8–10 and 13.0 inches on UK 12–14, taken from the waistband. That's one of the shortest cuts we stock — high on the thigh on most people — and because the pleats flare outward it lifts more readily than a straight mini of the same length.

Do the pleats stay sharp in corduroy?
Cord holds a pressed pleat better than a fine woven does, so the columns keep their definition through a full day. Hang the skirt rather than folding it, since the nap creases where it's crushed.

Which size should I order?
Go by your waist measurement, since the yoke is the fitted part and the hip column includes the width of the pleats. Take the larger size between two rows — a yoke that's slightly generous still hangs correctly, whereas a tight one pulls the pleats open.
