Vintage Denim Skirt

Vintage Denim Skirt — Pleated A-Line Midi

Size Chart

Order by your waist measurement — the skirt fastens with a button and zip, so the waistband is a fixed size with no stretch to rely on. Hip measurements aren't supplied, and the pleats release below a smooth yoke rather than fitting the hip, so hips aren't the deciding factor. Length changes by less than an inch across the whole range, so where the hem lands depends far more on your height than on your size. Between two sizes, take the larger one.

Faded indigo with the kind of uneven wash that usually takes years to earn, cut into a proper midi. The waistband sits high, a smooth yoke carries the fit past the hip, and then the denim opens out through soft pleats into a wide skirt that swings from the knee down. It's substantial without being stiff — the sort of piece that looks better with wear rather than worse.

How to Style a Denim Midi Skirt

It works hardest with plain things — a white long-sleeve tucked in, a fine grey knit, a striped tee, an oversized shirt left loose. Chunky loafers or clogs with slouchy socks, trainers for daytime, ankle boots when it turns. The construction is what makes this length forgiving: because the volume starts at the yoke rather than the waistband, the skirt lies flat across the hip and only flares below it, which suits pear and hourglass shapes as easily as straighter ones. Midi denim plus flat shoes can shorten the leg on petite frames, so tucking the top in and adding a little height keeps the proportions clean.

FAQ

Where does this denim midi skirt sit on the leg?
It measures 30.7 to 31.5 inches from the waistband, landing at mid-calf on an average 5'6" frame and lower on shorter heights. The length barely changes between sizes, so going up for the waist won't gain you meaningful length.

Do the pleats add bulk at the hip?
No — the pleats are stitched down through a smooth yoke and only release below it, so the skirt sits flat across the widest part of the hip. That's the main difference between this and a fully gathered denim skirt, which builds volume from the waistband down.

Which size should I order?
Use your waist measurement in inches and size up if you're between two rows. A buttoned denim waistband has no give, and a skirt that's slightly roomy at the waist still hangs correctly, whereas a tight one pulls at the fly and rides up.
