Flower Print Pink Skirt

Pink Floral Skirt with Fishtail Hem

Size Chart

The waistband is elasticated and quoted relaxed first, then stretched. Aim for the lower half of the range: elastic worn near its limit rolls at the top and pulls the print out of shape. No hip measurement is supplied for this style, which matters because the skirt stays close through the hip and thigh — so if you're between two sizes, or your hips are fuller than your waist would suggest, take the larger one. Length is measured from the waistband to the hem.

Small clustered roses in dusty rose and coral scattered across pale pink, printed on a fine fabric that's cut close through the body and then released into a soft fishtail flare below the knee. A single seam runs diagonally across the front hip, which breaks up the print at exactly the point where a fitted skirt usually pulls, and it's the reason the shape reads as tailored rather than tubular.

How to Style a Pink Floral Skirt

Keep everything else plain and pale and it looks expensive: a white off-shoulder or a simple cropped tee, a straw bag, and a bare white or tan sandal with a heel to lift the hem clear of the ground. Gold jewellery suits the warm tones far better than silver, and a linen shirt knotted at the waist takes it from evening to daytime. On fit, a skirt that traces the hip and thigh before flaring is spectacular on hourglass and slim straight figures because it draws the whole line of the leg; the honest note is that a close-cut printed maxi shows every contour and offers no camouflage at all, so if you'd rather the fabric fell away from you, an A-line floral maxi will give you the same print with far more ease.

FAQ

There's no hip measurement — how do I choose my size?
Go by the relaxed waist figure and then size up if your hips are proportionally full, because the skirt is cut close from the waist all the way to the knee and the hip is where it will be tightest. The maker hasn't supplied a hip measurement for this style, so if you're on the line between two sizes the larger one is the safer choice by some margin.

Does a fitted print like this show what's underneath?
The fabric is light and sits close, so a raised seam or an edge will show as a line even though the print does a good job of disguising it. Seamless underwear in a nude shade solves it completely, and the busy small-scale rose pattern hides far more than a plain pale fabric would.

Where does the hem fall if you're petite?
At around 35 inches from a high waistband, it sits at the ankle on someone about 5'6" and will brush the floor if you're under 5'3". A heel is the easy fix and suits the shape anyway, since the fishtail is designed to move and needs a little clearance to do it.
