The second column is the width of the skirt itself where the gathers begin, not a hip measurement, so there's no need to compare your own hips to it. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem, which puts it at ankle height on average frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA soft washed cotton with a faint crinkle to the surface, cut with a smooth flat yoke over the hip and then gathered into a full skirt that falls all the way to the ankle. That yoke is what makes the shape work — the volume starts below the widest part of the body rather than at the waist, so you get all the movement without any bulk where you don't want it. Side pockets are set into the seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e gathered cotton maxi skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain, with a smooth yoke and gathered skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e sage green, black or dark brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e high, sitting at the natural waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e flat over the hip, then full and free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e in-seam side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e holidays, city summers, weekends, everyday wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e spring and summer, with boots and a knit in autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Cotton Maxi Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a genuinely everyday skirt, so it takes almost anything: a white ribbed tank, a linen shirt knotted at the waist, a fine knit tucked in when it cools. Flat leather sandals suit it best, trainers make it properly casual, and a straw or tan bag warms up all three colourways. The sage and brown are the more interesting choices; black is the one that goes everywhere. On fit, a smooth yoke that releases into gathers is one of the kindest shapes there is and works on essentially every figure, particularly apple and pear shapes since the volume starts below the hip; the only thing to watch is height, because an ankle-length skirt with this much fabric can overwhelm a petite frame — keeping the top half cropped or tucked keeps the proportions in check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the pockets real?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, they're proper in-seam side pockets rather than decorative flaps, deep enough for a phone and keys. They sit within the gathered section, so they disappear into the folds when empty and don't break the line of the skirt the way patch pockets would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the gathering start?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt the yoke seam, which sits low across the hip rather than at the waist — roughly where a pair of jeans pockets would end. That's why the skirt stays flat over the stomach and hip and only builds volume below, and it's the single detail that makes this shape more flattering than a skirt gathered straight onto the waistband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill cotton like this wrinkle in a suitcase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt creases, yes, but the fabric already has a soft crinkled texture, so packing marks blend into it rather than standing out as sharp folds. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes drops most of them out, and it recovers far better than a crisp poplin would — which makes it an easy skirt to travel with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"offer-template-0\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"Chocolate \/ XL","offer_id":58400232014159,"sku":"14:200000195;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ S","offer_id":58400232046927,"sku":"14:193;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ M","offer_id":58400232079695,"sku":"14:193;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ L","offer_id":58400232112463,"sku":"14:193;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"green \/ S","offer_id":58400232145231,"sku":"14:175;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"green \/ M","offer_id":58400232177999,"sku":"14:175;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"green \/ L","offer_id":58400232210767,"sku":"14:175;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ XL","offer_id":58400232243535,"sku":"14:193;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate \/ S","offer_id":58400232276303,"sku":"14:200000195;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate \/ M","offer_id":58400232309071,"sku":"14:200000195;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate \/ L","offer_id":58400232341839,"sku":"14:200000195;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"green \/ XL","offer_id":58400232374607,"sku":"14:175;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Cotton-Maxi-Skirt-with-Pockets.webp?v=1786111632","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/cotton-maxi-skirt-with-pockets","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
