Pink Mesh Long Skirt

Pink Mesh Skirt with Ruched Waist

Size Chart

Choose your size on the waist figure. The hip column is the mesh measured flat and unstretched, which is why it reads smaller than any body measurement — the fabric opens out a long way when worn. Because the skirt stays close through the hip and thigh before it flares, the UK equivalents can feel a size tight compared with what you normally buy: if you're between two sizes, or your thighs are fuller than your waist suggests, take the larger one. Length runs from the top of the waistband to the hem, and at 37 inches and over it sits on the floor on most people. The supplier allows a 2–3 cm tolerance.

Barely-there blush mesh falling in a long fishtail line, close through the hip and thigh before it opens out into a wide sweeping hem that trails slightly at the back. The ruched panel across the top is the piece that makes it wearable: it doubles the fabric over the hip and gathers it into soft vertical folds, so the skirt has structure and coverage exactly where it needs it and nowhere else.

How to Style a Mesh Skirt

Contrast is what keeps this from tipping into lingerie: a black vest or a sharp fitted tank, minimal silver jewellery, and a heel to get the hem off the ground. Nude or blush shorts underneath read as deliberate; a black slip underneath turns the sheer section into a two-tone effect and looks far more considered than trying to hide it. On fit, a fishtail traces the hip and thigh before flaring, which is spectacular on hourglass and slim straight figures because it exaggerates the line; the honest flip side is that sheer stretch mesh conceals absolutely nothing, so if you'd rather not be that closely observed, an opaque satin maxi with the same silhouette will give you the drama without the transparency.

FAQ

Is the whole skirt sheer, or just part of it?
Just part of it — the ruched panel across the top is doubled over on itself and reads as opaque, while everything below it is single-layer mesh and genuinely see-through. That means your hip and upper thigh are covered and your legs are not, which is the effect the design is going for. Shorts or a slip in a matching shade underneath change it completely if you want more.

What size should I take if I'm between two?
The larger one. The skirt is fitted from the waist all the way to the knee, so it grips through the thigh in a way most maxis don't, and mesh worn at full stretch thins out and shows more than intended. Match your waist to the chart, and if your hips or thighs sit at the upper end for that size, go up.

What is the ruched panel at the top for?
It's structural as much as decorative: gathering the mesh doubles the fabric and gives the skirt something firm to hang from, so it doesn't slide down or lose its shape at the waist. The folds also break up the surface across the stomach and hip, which is why that section is both the most covered and the most flattering part of the skirt.
