Both figures are relaxed first, then stretched, and the stretched number is the upper limit rather than a comfortable fit: compare your hip measurement to it and take the size that leaves you room below it. The supplier allows a 2–3 cm tolerance on all measurements. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the frill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBright bubblegum jersey ruched from the waistband all the way down over the hip, with a seam that gathers the fabric into soft vertical folds so it moves and catches the light rather than sitting flat. It finishes in a short flared frill with a rolled lettuce edge, which breaks the body-conscious line at exactly the right moment and gives the whole thing a bit of swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e ruched jersey mini skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain, with gathered ruching over the hip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e bright pink, also available in white and black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e close and stretchy through the hip, flaring at the hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e centre ruching and a rolled lettuce-edge frill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e holidays, beach days, summer evenings, going out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e spring and summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Ruched Mini Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it knowingly simple: a white ribbed long-sleeve or a plain vest, bare legs, and either flat sandals for daytime or a strappy heel after dark. Silver jewellery cools the pink down, gold pushes it further into holiday, and a white or cream bag stops the colour from taking over completely. On fit, ruching is doing real work here — the gathers double the fabric over the stomach and hip and break up the surface, which makes this far more forgiving than plain jersey and genuinely good on hourglass and apple shapes; the caveat is that it's still close-fitting from waist to hem, so if you'd rather nothing traced the body at all, a flared A-line mini will suit you much better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this skirt cut smaller than standard UK sizing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, by roughly a size. The largest size measures 36.6 inches at the hip when fully stretched, which corresponds to a UK 12 rather than the UK 14 the letter size implies, and that's why the chart here has been adjusted. Take your hip measurement, find the size whose stretched figure sits comfortably above it, and ignore the label entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes ruching hide or highlight your stomach?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt hides more than it highlights, which is the point of the technique — gathering the fabric doubles it up and creates shadow, so the surface breaks up any line underneath instead of showing it smooth. It won't compress like shapewear, but compared with a flat jersey skirt in the same colour it's noticeably kinder across the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you wear it as a beach cover-up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbsolutely, and the shape lends itself to it: it pulls straight on over a bikini bottom, the stretch means no fastenings to fight with wet skin, and the frill keeps it from looking like underwear. The white and black colourways are the easiest for that, though the pink over a plain black swimsuit works just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"Pink \/ L","offer_id":58389971272015,"sku":"14:1052;5:361385","price":47.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange \/ S","offer_id":58389971304783,"sku":"14:350852;5:100014064","price":47.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange \/ L","offer_id":58389971337551,"sku":"14:350852;5:361385","price":47.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange \/ M","offer_id":58389971370319,"sku":"14:350852;5:361386","price":47.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ M","offer_id":58389971403087,"sku":"14:1052;5:361386","price":47.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ S","offer_id":58389971435855,"sku":"14:1052;5:100014064","price":47.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Pink-Mini-Skirt.webp?v=1786111395","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/pink-mini-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
