The waist figures read generous because the skirt is cut to sit slightly below the natural waist, so measure where you want the ruched band to land rather than at your narrowest point. Velvet has a little give but not much, so take the larger size if you're between two. Length runs from the waistband to the hem at the longest side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoss green crushed velvet gathered into soft ruching at one hip, then wrapped diagonally across the front so the fabric falls in a long overlapping panel with a split running up the thigh. The crushed finish is what makes the colour do the work — the pile lies in different directions across the drape, so the green shifts from olive to almost gold wherever the light catches it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e ruched velvet midi skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain crushed velvet with a diagonal wrap front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e moss green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e mid, sitting just below the natural waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e dinners, parties, winter evenings, occasion wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Velvet Midi Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVelvet this saturated needs plainness above it: a white ribbed vest, a black bodysuit, a fine cream knit tucked in. Black accessories sharpen the green, while gold jewellery and a tan heel warm it up considerably — both work, so pick a direction and stay with it. A strappy sandal or a pointed mule suits the split better than a boot. On fit, side ruching is doing real work here, breaking up the light across the stomach and hip so the fabric disguises rather than tracks, which makes this kinder than plain velvet on hourglass and apple shapes; the caveat is that velvet has weight and holds its shape close to the body, so if you'd rather a skirt fell away from you, a matte crepe with the same drape will feel far easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the wrap front actually open?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo — the overlapping panel is stitched in place, so it looks like a wrap without behaving like one, and there's nothing to come undone as you move. What does open is the split, which runs up from the hem along the edge of that panel and sits on the front of the thigh rather than at the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs crushed velvet different from ordinary velvet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes: crushed velvet has its pile deliberately pressed in several directions, which is what creates the mottled, shifting surface rather than the even sheen of a plain velvet. It's also more forgiving in practice, since the irregular texture hides the pressure marks that show up on flat velvet after you've been sitting down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colours go with olive green velvet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack, cream and white are the safe three and all look considered. Beyond those, chocolate brown and tan leather are the easiest warm partners, while burgundy and deep pink both work if you want something less obvious — steer clear of navy, which tends to muddy the green rather than contrast with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"Green \/ M","offer_id":58397574758735,"sku":"14:771#Green;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ S","offer_id":58397574791503,"sku":"14:771#Green;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ XL","offer_id":58397574824271,"sku":"14:771#Green;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ L","offer_id":58397574857039,"sku":"14:771#Green;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Green-Velvet-Split-Skirt.webp?v=1786111459","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/green-velvet-split-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
