The largest measures 29.9 inches at the waist, which is a UK 14 rather than the full UK 16 its US labelling implies, so it's shown as a range above — go by the inch figure rather than the label. The waistband is elasticated, giving a little on top of these measurements. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem of the skirt layer, not the shorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack velvet knife-pleated and built in two short tiers, so the pleats fan out from the waistband and then again halfway down, and the whole thing swings rather than sits still. Underneath there's a pair of fitted shorts stitched in, which is what makes a 13-inch skirt something you can actually move in rather than something you spend the evening holding down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e tiered pleated mini skirt with built-in shorts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain black velvet, knife-pleated throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e mid to high, elasticated waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth over the waist, then full through two pleated tiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in shorts underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e gigs, parties, winter evenings, alt and coquette outfits\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 Pleated Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVelvet this dark takes texture better than colour: a cream cable knit or a chunky white cardigan, opaque black tights, and chunky loafers or lace-up boots to weigh the bottom of the outfit down. Silver jewellery and a structured black bag keep it sharp; a white shirt underneath a knit pushes it towards preppy. On fit, pleats released from a smooth waistband add volume right at the top of the thigh, which builds shape on straight and slim figures and balances broader shoulders; if that's already your fullest point and you'd rather not add there, a flat A-line velvet mini will give you the same fabric with a much narrower line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do the built-in shorts cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey're cut as proper fitted shorts rather than a token lining, sitting close to the leg and finishing just under the skirt layer. That means full coverage when you sit, climb stairs or dance, and it's the reason the pleats can be left free to move instead of being weighed down or held closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 13-inch skirt wearable day to day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the shorts underneath, yes — that's exactly what they're there for, and it turns a skirt this short from an occasion piece into something you can wear on a normal afternoon. Opaque tights and boots extend it further into winter, and the pleats give enough movement that it never feels restrictive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S","offer_id":58397574299983,"sku":"14:771#Black;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":58397574332751,"sku":"14:771#Black;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S","offer_id":58397574365519,"sku":"14:193#Brown;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ M","offer_id":58397574398287,"sku":"14:193#Brown;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":58397574431055,"sku":"14:771#Black;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL","offer_id":58397574463823,"sku":"14:771#Black;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L","offer_id":58397574496591,"sku":"14:193#Brown;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL","offer_id":58397574529359,"sku":"14:193#Brown;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Mini-Velvet-Skirt.webp?v=1786111454","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/mini-velvet-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
