Aim for the lower half: the relaxed figure is the true fit, and elastic worn near its limit rolls over and flattens the gathers that give the skirt its shape. The UK equivalents come from the relaxed measurements rather than the maker's labels, which run a size optimistic at the largest size. Length is measured from the waistband to the hem and barely changes across the range, so your height rather than your size decides where it falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e tiered corduroy ruffle skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain, with narrow ruffle trims at each tier seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e high, fully elasticated waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e gathered at the waist, falling into a full A-line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e fine vertical wale and ruffle-edged tiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e autumn and winter days, city weekends, gigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Corduroy Ruffle Skirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChunky lace-up boots are what keep it from tipping romantic, and black tights close the gap in winter. Cream or oatmeal on top warms the whole thing up if black feels too severe. On fit, a skirt gathered at the natural waist into full tiers marks the narrowest point and hides everything below, which is genuinely kind on apple and pear shapes; the caveat is that corduroy has real weight and body, so it holds volume rather than draping — if you're petite or you'd rather not add bulk from the waist down, a flat A-line in the same fabric will keep the line much narrower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this corduroy or velvet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt's corduroy — you can see the fine vertical wales running the full length of the skirt and across the ruffle trims, which is what distinguishes it from a plain velvet. The two feel similar to the hand and both have a nap that shifts in the light, but corduroy is the more hard-wearing of the pair and holds a full shape better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy waist is near the top of the size range — will it fit properly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt will physically fit, but not comfortably or well. The upper figure is the point at which the elastic gives up rather than a recommended fit, so the waistband will dig in, roll at the top and pull the gathers flat. Go by the relaxed measurement instead and take the size whose lower number sits at or just under your waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the ruffles make it look too sweet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNot in this fabric — the trims are narrow and the colour is dark enough that they read as construction detail rather than frills, which is why the skirt sits comfortably alongside boots and a heavy knit. If you want it read as tougher still, keep everything above the waist black and structured, and the ruffles disappear into the silhouette entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"Green \/ S","offer_id":58397572202831,"sku":"14:175#Green;5:100014064","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ M","offer_id":58397572235599,"sku":"14:175#Green;5:361386","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ L","offer_id":58397572268367,"sku":"14:175#Green;5:361385","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ XL","offer_id":58397572301135,"sku":"14:175#Green;5:100014065","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S","offer_id":58397572333903,"sku":"14:193#Black;5:100014064","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":58397572366671,"sku":"14:193#Black;5:361386","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":58397572399439,"sku":"14:193#Black;5:361385","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL","offer_id":58397572432207,"sku":"14:193#Black;5:100014065","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ S","offer_id":58397572464975,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:100014064","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ M","offer_id":58397572497743,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:361386","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ L","offer_id":58397572530511,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:361385","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige \/ XL","offer_id":58397572563279,"sku":"14:771#Beige;5:100014065","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Velvet-Ruffle-Skirt.webp?v=1786111448","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/velvet-ruffle-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
