Satin long skirt

Satin Long Skirt — Low-Rise Bias Cut with Fishtail Hem

Size Chart

This skirt sits low, below the natural waist, so the waistband figures are larger than a standard waist measurement — measure around your body where you'd want the band to sit, roughly level with the top of your hip bones, and match that. The hip column includes the ease built into the cut, so don't compare it directly to your own hips. Length is measured from the waistband, so where it lands depends on your height as much as your size.

The fabric is cut on the diagonal so it moulds around the waist and hip without a seam fighting it, then releases below the knee into a soft fishtail that swings out at the hem. A narrow band sits low across the hips with a small bow at the centre front, and it comes in champagne or black — the first reads soft and warm, the second reads sharp.

How to Style a Satin Skirt

Low-rise wants something cropped above it, so a fitted long-sleeve, a shrunken knit or a simple cami with a sliver of skin showing is the whole idea. Flat sandals and stacked gold cuffs in warm weather, a heeled mule and a fine knit once it cools. The bias cut follows the body closely from the hip to the knee before it opens out, which flatters hourglass and pear shapes especially naturally and gives straighter frames a defined curve through the hip. 

FAQ

Where does the waistband sit?
Low on the hips, below the natural waist, which is why the waistband measurements look larger than you'd expect for the size. Measure around yourself at hip-bone level rather than at your narrowest point, and match that figure to the chart.

Does a bias-cut satin skirt cling?
Yes — that's the point of the cut, and it's the main difference between this and a flared satin skirt. The fabric follows the line of the hip and thigh before releasing at the knee, so it shows your shape rather than covering it, and any texture underneath will read through.

How long is this skirt on me?
It measures 33.5 to 34.7 inches from the low waistband, which puts the hem at the ankle on a 5'7" frame and on the floor on anyone around 5'3". Because it sits low to begin with, it runs longer on the leg than the number suggests compared with a high-waisted maxi.
