Don't compare your own waist to these numbers; go by the UK size column instead, and if you're between two, take the larger one so the shirring stays gathered rather than pulled flat. Length runs from the top of the waistband to the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePanels of cream crochet and openwork lace pieced together in tiers, each one a different scale of flower, scallop and eyelet, falling from a deeply shirred waistband all the way to the ankle. The hem finishes in a scalloped edge rather than a straight line, which is the detail that keeps a skirt this romantic looking handmade rather than mass-produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e crochet lace maxi skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e mixed openwork lace panels in tiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e high, with a wide shirred waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e gathered at the waist, falling into a full A-line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e scalloped hem and contrast lace panelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparency:\u003c\/strong\u003e openwork throughout — sheer in the more open sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e holidays, beach days, summer weddings, festivals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e spring and summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Lace Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCream on cream is the easiest route and the best one: a plain white vest or a fitted cream tank, flat tan sandals, a straw bag and a few beaded bracelets. If you'd rather it didn't read too bridal, a black or khaki top and a tan leather belt pull it firmly back towards holiday rather than wedding. On fit, a full skirt gathered at the natural waist is kind to almost everyone and particularly good on apple and pear shapes, since the shirred band marks the smallest point and the volume disguises everything below; the honest caveat is that the wide band adds bulk right across the midriff, so if you'd rather keep that area smooth, a lace skirt with a flat waistband and a side zip will suit you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs crochet lace see-through?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn parts, yes — the openwork sections are genuinely sheer and the denser crochet panels are not, so the skirt reads as a mix rather than uniformly opaque. Worn over a cream or nude slip it becomes completely wearable for daytime and weddings, and worn straight over swimwear it makes an excellent beach cover-up, which is where the sheerness stops being a question at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the shirred waistband stretch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA long way — shirring is elastic thread run through gathered fabric, so it contracts hard at rest and opens out considerably when worn, which is exactly why the unstretched figures in the chart look so small. It also means the waist is forgiving day to day, and the band sits flat and comfortable rather than digging in the way a single elastic strip can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a cream lace maxi skirt look too bridal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt can if you pair it with white and delicate jewellery, so the fix is contrast: a black vest, a tan belt, chunky sandals or a denim jacket all move it decisively into holiday territory. Kept tonal with cream and gold it does lean bridal, which is useful to know if you're wearing it to someone else's wedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;color:rgb(67, 70, 73);display:block;width:100%\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"Beige \/ S","offer_id":58389970551119,"sku":"14:771;5:100014064","price":69.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ M","offer_id":58389970583887,"sku":"14:771;5:361386","price":69.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ L","offer_id":58389970616655,"sku":"14:771;5:361385","price":69.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ XL","offer_id":58389970649423,"sku":"14:771;5:100014065","price":69.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Cream-Crochet-Lace-Skirt.webp?v=1786111336","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/cream-crochet-lace-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
