Length is measured at the longest point of the asymmetric hem. Match your waist and hip measurements to the chart; if you're between sizes, size up for a smooth fit over the hip. Please allow a 2–3cm difference, as measurements are taken by hand.
The irregular low-waisted skirt is proof that a single dark piece can carry a whole look. Cut from a soft, fluid jersey in deep espresso, it sits low on the hip with a gently ruched waist, then drops into a dramatic handkerchief hem that dips into uneven points around the leg. It's understated in colour but full of movement — the kind of skirt that looks quietly cool standing still and genuinely beautiful when you walk..

How to Style an Irregular Hem Skirt
The asymmetric hem is the whole story here, so keep everything else simple and let it move. A fitted tank or a ruched top in a matching tone gives that co-ord, tonal Y2K look shown on the model; sheer knee-highs and mesh flats push it grunge, while ballet flats or slouch boots soften it. Because the waist sits low, a cropped or fitted top keeps the proportions clean. For contrast, a chunky knit or an oversized leather jacket over a slim top balances the floaty hem with something structured.
How Long Is This Skirt?
Because the hem is asymmetric, the length varies around the skirt — it sits at roughly knee to just below the knee at its longest points, dipping higher elsewhere. The measurements in the chart are taken at the longest point, so the shorter sections of the hem will fall above that.
