Corduroy Ruffle Skirt

Corduroy Ruffle Skirt 

Size Chart

The waistband is fully elasticated, so the figures are taken relaxed and there's give beyond them — order by your own waist measurement rather than relying on the stretch. Hip measurements aren't supplied, as the tiers flare away from the body rather than fitting it. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem. Between two sizes, size up.

Fine-wale corduroy gathered into a wide elasticated band and then dropped into two ruffled tiers that flare out and sit away from the body. The cord is soft and lightweight rather than the heavy upholstery kind, so the tiers hold their shape without going stiff, and the ribbing catches light down the length of every fold.

How to Style a Ruffle Skirt

Opaque tights and ankle boots through winter, chunky loafers with socks for something more everyday. The tiers start at the top of the hip and build outward, which creates volume deliberately: useful on straight and athletic frames wanting shape, and balancing on broader shoulders. If your hips are already your widest point, this will emphasise them rather than skim — a flat A-line cord mini sits closer if that's what you're after.

FAQ

How short is this corduroy  skirt?
It measures 15.0 inches on UK 8 up to 16.1 inches on UK 16, taken from the waistband. That sits mid-thigh on an average 5'6" frame, and because the tiers are gathered and flare outward the skirt lifts more readily than a straight mini would.

Is corduroy warm enough for winter?
Fine-wale cord like this is closer to a mid-weight cotton than to a heavy winter fabric, so it works well with opaque tights rather than instead of them. It holds structure better than jersey in cold weather, which is why the tiers keep their shape.

Which size should I order?
Match your waist measurement to the chart, since the elasticated band is the only part that sits against you. Size up rather than down between two rows — elastic worn at full stretch flattens the gathers and loses the volume the skirt is built around.
