Pink Ruffle Mini Skirt

Pink Ruffle Mini Skirt

Size Chart

Pick your size from the waist column — the hip figures are taken on the fabric lying flat and completely unstretched, which is why they read smaller than any body measurement, and the yoke opens out considerably when worn. The UK equivalents shown are worked out from the centimetre measurements rather than supplied by the maker. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the bottom ruffle, and at under 11 inches this is a genuine micro mini rather than a short mini.

Pale ballet pink gathered into three tiers of ruffles that stack out from a narrow waistband, each layer catching the light slightly differently so the whole skirt looks fuller than it is. The bow is the real event: a wide sash tied at the back with long tails that fall past the hem, which turns the plainest black top into a whole outfit from behind.

How to Style a Pink Mini Skirt

Black is the obvious partner and the best one: a fitted long-sleeve top, a ribbon at the neck, and cream knee-high socks with flats or chunky loafers to close the gap. Keep the top half plain so the bow stays the focus, and turn slightly when someone takes a photo, because the back is where all the design is. On fit, three stacked ruffles add width right at the top of the thigh, which builds shape on straight and slim figures and balances broader shoulders beautifully; if your hips are already your widest point, that same volume will emphasise them, so a flat A-line mini in the same colour will give you the sweetness without the flare.

FAQ

My hips are bigger than the hip figure — will it still fit?
Almost certainly, because that figure is the fabric measured flat and unstretched rather than the body it fits. The yoke has plenty of give and the ruffles below it are gathered and loose, so the only measurement that has to work is the waist — match that to the chart and the rest follows.

Does the bow tie, or is it sewn in place?
It ties: a wide sash wraps round and knots at the back, with long tails left hanging below the hem. That means you can pull it tighter or looser depending on the day, sit the knot slightly to one side if you prefer, or tuck the tails shorter if you'd rather they didn't trail.
