Orange Bubble Skort

Orange Bubble Skirt — Tartan Check Skort with Drawstring Waist

Size Chart

Each size shows a range because the jersey waistband is elasticated and drawn in with a cord: the lower figure is where it sits relaxed, the higher figure is full stretch. Pick the size where your own waist falls near the lower end, then use the drawstring to tighten rather than relying on the elastic to expand. 

Orange plaid with a bubble hem is not a quiet piece and it isn't pretending to be. The check runs in warm citrus tones over a full, gathered skirt that inflates outward and then pulls back in at the hem, so the whole thing sits like a small lantern around the leg. A contrast jersey waistband in solid orange anchors it at the top with a drawstring you can knot at the front, and there are proper shorts built in underneath.

How to Style a Bubble Skirt

Volume at the hip needs something narrow above it, so a fitted white vest, a shrunken tee or a cropped cardigan is the whole answer — anything oversized on top and the proportions collapse. Ballet flats, Mary Janes or slouchy leg warmers with trainers all work, and they push it further into Y2K without any effort. Shape-wise, the bubble hem builds width exactly at the hip and thigh, which is brilliant for straight and athletic frames looking to create curve and for balancing wider shoulders.

FAQ

Does this bubble skort have shorts underneath?
Yes, there are shorts built in beneath the skirt, which matters more here than on most skorts — a bubble hem is gathered and lightweight, so it lifts easily in wind or movement. That's exactly why the shorts are there, and it's what makes this wearable at a festival rather than only at a table.

How short is this orange skort?
It measures 11.0 inches at the longest point on UK 8, rising to 12.2 inches on UK 16, and the bubble hem curves higher between the gathers. This is one of the shortest pieces we stock, so it's worth picturing on yourself before ordering rather than judging by the photograph.

How does the drawstring waist work?
The elasticated jersey waistband stretches to pull on, and the cord threaded through it lets you draw the waist in and knot it at the front. Use it to fine-tune the fit rather than sizing down — the drawstring tightens comfortably, whereas an elastic waistband held at full stretch tends to roll.
