Polka Dot Bubble Skirt

Polka Dot Bubble Midi Skirt — Balloon Hem in Ivory

Size Chart

The waistband is elasticated, so the figures above are taken relaxed and there's give beyond them — order by your own waist measurement rather than counting on the stretch. Hip measurements aren't supplied, as the skirt balloons away from the body instead of fitting it. Length is measured from the waistband to the gathered hem. Between two sizes, size up.

Oversized black spots on ivory, cut into a shape that behaves like nothing else in the wardrobe. The waistband gathers softly at the natural waist, the fabric expands outward through the body, and then the hem draws sharply back in so the whole skirt holds a rounded lantern shape without a single pleat or seam interrupting the print. It keeps that shape whether you're standing still or moving.

How to Style a Bubble Midi Skirt

The silhouette is the whole story, so keep the top half narrow or short — a fine knit tucked in, a cropped jumper, a slim long-sleeve. A heeled mule or a platform sandal lifts it and keeps the proportions from going bottom-heavy; flat trainers make it more everyday but shorten the leg. Because the elasticated waist gathers at the narrowest point and the fabric balloons away from everything below it, this skims the stomach and hip entirely rather than tracing them, which is genuinely forgiving across every figure. The trade-off is width: a bubble hem is the fullest shape here, so it adds volume rather than reducing it.

FAQ

Where does this bubble skirt fall?
It measures 25.6 inches on UK 8 up to 26.4 inches on UK 12/14, taken from the waistband. Because the hem curves inwards rather than hanging straight, it reads shorter on the leg than a flat midi of the same measurement — mid-calf on most people, just below the knee if you're taller.

Does the bubble hem lift in the wind?
Less than you'd expect. The hem is gathered and turned under, which weights the bottom edge and keeps the shape closed rather than open — a bubble skirt is considerably more stable in a breeze than a flared or pleated skirt of the same length.

Which size should I order?
Match your waist measurement to the chart, since the elasticated band is the only part that sits against you. Size up rather than down between two rows — elastic held at full stretch flattens the gathers and loses the shape the skirt is built around.
