The waistband figure looks large for the size because it's taken on the wide band, which is designed to sit low across the hip bones rather than at your natural waist, so don't compare it to your usual waist measurement. Length is measured from the top of the band to the bottom ruffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrey and black stripes on a soft jersey, gathered into two full ruffled tiers that kick out from a wide plain black waistband worn low on the hips. The proportion is the whole point: a flat, quiet band across the top and then everything happening at once below it, so the skirt bounces when you walk instead of hanging flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e tiered striped ruffle skirt with built-in shorts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e narrow horizontal stripes with a plain black waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e grey and black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e low, wide flat waistband sitting on the hips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth over the hip, then two gathered ruffle tiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in shorts underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e festivals, gigs, summer days out, casual weekends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e spring and summer, with tights and boots in autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Mini Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll the movement lives in the skirt, so the top half should be plain and cropped: a cream or white baby tee, a fitted black vest, a shrunken cardigan if it's cooler. Trainers keep it easy for daytime, ballet flats sharpen it up, and knee-high socks lean the whole thing properly into the 2000s. On fit, ruffled tiers add real volume exactly at hip level, which balances broader shoulders and gives straighter figures a curve they might not otherwise have; the flip side is that the same volume emphasises width if that's already your fullest point, so if you'd rather not add there, a flat A-line mini in the same stripe will give you the length without the flare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this skirt have shorts underneath?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — there are built-in shorts sewn in, which is what makes an 11-inch skirt genuinely wearable. You can sit down, climb stairs, dance and get on a bike without thinking about it, and it means you can wear the ruffles at their full bounce rather than holding the hem down all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the waistband sit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLow, across the hip bones, which is why the waistband measurement in the chart reads larger than a natural waist figure for the same size. The band is wide and flat so it stays put without digging, and it sits a few inches below the navel — pair it with a cropped top and you'll see that gap, which is how the proportion is meant to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the ruffles make your hips look bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey do add visible volume at the hip, and that's the intended effect rather than a flaw. It's genuinely flattering if you want to create curve or balance out wider shoulders; if your hips are already your widest point and you'd rather not emphasise them, look for a straight mini instead of a tiered one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":58389392785743,"sku":"14:193;5:100014064","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":58389392818511,"sku":"14:193;5:361386","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":58389392752975,"sku":"14:193;5:361385","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Striped-Mini-Skirt.webp?v=1786111296","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/striped-mini-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
