Light Blue Polka Skirt

Light Blue Polka Dot Skirt — Asymmetric Handkerchief Hem

Size Chart

The waistband is elasticated and the fabric contains 5% elastane, so the figures above are taken relaxed and there's comfortable give beyond them. The band is designed to sit low, below the natural waist, so measure yourself where you'd want it to rest. Hip measurements aren't supplied, as the skirt falls away from the hip rather than fitting it. Length is taken at the longest point — the hem drops into points that hang well below the shortest sections.

Chocolate spots on pale blue, which is a far better combination than it sounds. The waistband is a soft elasticated band sitting low on the hips, a diagonal seam cuts across the thigh, and below it the fabric falls into deep uneven points so the hem swings between mid-calf and above the knee depending on where you look. The stretch in the fabric keeps everything moving rather than hanging stiff.

How to Style a Polka Dot Skirt

A pale ground with dark spots reads softer than the classic black-and-white version, so it takes brown and chocolate tones better than black — knee-high leather boots, a fine knit in cream or coffee, a slim vest tucked into the band. Because the elasticated waist sits low and the fabric hangs away from the hip, this skims rather than traces, which makes it easy across apple, pear and hourglass figures. The pointed hem is the useful detail on proportion: a diagonal line reads longer than a straight one, so it lengthens the leg at a length that often shortens it, and the higher sections keep it from feeling heavy.

FAQ

How does the asymmetric hem sit?
It falls into deep points rather than a level line, so the longest sections reach mid-calf while the shortest sit well above the knee. The stated measurement is taken at the longest point, which means the skirt shows considerably more leg than that figure suggests.

Is the matching top included?
No — this listing is for the skirt only. The coordinating top shown in the images is a separate piece and isn't part of this purchase.

Which size should I order?
Measure around your hips at the point where you'd want the low waistband to sit, then match that to the chart. The elasticated waist and the elastane in the fabric give real comfort beyond the stated figure, so there's no need to size up unless you fall right at the top of a row.
