The middle column is taken at the widest part of the flare rather than at the hip, so matching it to your own hips would send you several sizes too large. Measurements are taken with the skirt laid flat, with a 0.4–1.2 inch (1–3 cm) tolerance. Length is the longest point at the back — the front hem sits noticeably higher. Between two sizes, size up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChocolate spots printed on a crinkled ivory ground, and a great deal of fabric put to work. A smooth yoke holds the waist flat, then a deep ruffle breaks across the hip and falls over the tier below it, and the skirt carries on widening to a hem that dips low at the back and lifts at the front. The texture in the cloth keeps the whole thing looking soft rather than stiff, so all that volume moves as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e tiered maxi skirt with a ruffle overlay and high-low hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e ivory with chocolate brown spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e high smooth yoke, tiers and ruffles building volume below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e deep ruffle across the hip, crinkle-textured fabric, high-low hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e weddings and guest dressing, holidays, garden parties, summer evenings\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 Tiered Maxi Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this much going on below the waist, the top half has to be plain and close — a black fitted vest, a white cami, a fine knit tucked in and nothing more. Heeled sandals to lift the hem, a small structured bag, gold jewellery kept simple. The smooth yoke is what makes the volume wearable: it holds the fabric flat across the top of the hip so the skirt marks your waist before anything flares, which works well across apple, pear and hourglass shapes. The ruffle does land at hip level though, so it adds width there — deliberately, but worth knowing if that's not what you're after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the high-low hem sit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe back is cut longer than the front, so the stated length applies to the longest point at the back while the front hem sits several inches higher. That's what stops a skirt of this volume looking heavy, and it keeps the front clear of your feet when you walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ruffle add bulk at the hip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt does, and that's the design — the ruffle is set at hip level and falls over the tier beneath it, which creates width exactly there. If you'd rather the volume started lower, a plain tiered maxi without the overlay will sit closer through the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I order?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUse your waist measurement and ignore the widest-point column, which describes how full the skirt is rather than how it fits. Take the larger size between two rows, and allow for the supplier's 1–3 cm tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":58350665072975,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:872","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":58350665171279,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:100014064","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":58350665138511,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:361386","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":58350665105743,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:361385","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Polka-Dot-Tiered-Maxi-Skirt.webp?v=1786110917","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/polka-dot-tiered-maxi-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
