Maxi Pleated Skirt

Maxi Pleated Skirt

Size Chart

The waist figures line up closely with standard UK sizing, so your usual size is the right starting point — and since the skirt is pleated and full below the waistband, the waist is the only measurement that has to fit. Note that the length is the same 41.7 inches on every size rather than scaling up, which means it pools generously on shorter frames and sits closer to the floor on taller ones. It's designed to be worn with a heel; flat shoes will leave a fair amount of fabric on the ground.

How to Style a Pleated Skirt

The skirt is the entire outfit, so the top half should be small and plain: a grey marl tee, a fine black knit, a fitted vest, always tucked in so the waistband stays visible. A structured clutch and a statement necklace lift it for an evening, trainers and a denim jacket pull it down for daytime, and both look deliberate. On fit, a full pleated skirt from a flat high waistband is one of the most universally flattering shapes there is, particularly good on apple and pear figures because it marks the waist and then conceals everything below; the only genuine caveat is volume, since all that fabric adds visual width from the hip down, so if you're petite you'll want the heel and a firmly cropped or tucked top to keep the proportions in check.

FAQ

Does the length change between sizes?
No — every size measures 41.7 inches from waistband to hem. That's a deliberate choice with floor-length skirts, but it does mean the drop is identical whether you're a UK 8 or a UK 16, so your height rather than your size determines how much fabric ends up on the floor.

Do the pleats stay sharp?
Accordion pleats are heat-set into the fabric, so they hold their shape through normal wear and fall straight back into place after sitting. They do prefer to be hung rather than folded, and anything that crushes them flat for a long time — a packed suitcase, a tightly stuffed wardrobe — will soften the edges over time.
