The UK sizes shown are approximate: our supplier sizes this skirt by body weight, and we've mapped those ranges onto UK sizing using the hip measurements, which are the most reliable guide. Use your hip measurement first and treat the weight column as a cross-check rather than the other way round. Length is taken at the longest point, since the ruffles finish at deliberately uneven heights. Between two sizes, size up.
Chiffon is at its best when it's allowed to be a bit chaotic, and this skirt leans all the way in. A smooth panel sits flat over the hip, then the fabric breaks into ruffles that cross the body at an angle and finish at different heights, so the hem never resolves into a straight line. It moves constantly, catches light through the layers, and looks far more considered than the effort it takes to wear.

How to Style a Black short Skirt
The ruffles are doing enough, so the top half should be flat and plain — an oversized tee half-tucked for daytime, a fitted black vest or a simple cami when it goes out in the evening. Flat sandals and a straw bag in summer, heeled mules and gold jewellery at night. The smooth panel over the hip is the useful part of the construction: it keeps the volume from starting at the waist, so the skirt defines the narrowest point before the ruffles flare, which suits hourglass and pear shapes as readily as straighter frames. Fuller ruffles do add width where they land, so if you'd rather not build volume at the upper thigh, a plain A-line mini will sit closer to what you want.
FAQ
Is this chiffon skirt see-through?
The ruffles are made from semi-sheer chiffon, so light passes through the single layers, particularly at the outer edges. The layers overlap across most of the skirt which gives you real coverage in the middle, but wear it over a slip or bike shorts if you want the same confidence in bright sunlight as you'd have indoors.
Why is this skirt sized by weight?
Our supplier provides sizing by body weight rather than by garment measurements alone, which is common in Asian sizing but doesn't translate cleanly to UK sizes. We've converted their ranges using the hip measurements, so order by your hips first — the weight column is there as a sanity check, not as the deciding factor.
