Vintage Mint Skirt

Mint Green Checked Midi Skirt with Floral Appliqué

Size Chart

This style comes up small, so the UK sizes above are converted from the garment's actual waist measurements rather than from the letter sizes — a size S here fits a UK 6, not a UK 8. Order by your own waist measurement in inches. Hip measurements aren't supplied, as the skirt flares away from the hip rather than fitting it. Between two sizes, size up.

Soft mint green with a lattice of pale pink and cream running across it on the diagonal, and then the detail that makes it: tiny fabric roses applied at the intersections, scattered among small embroidered sprigs so the pattern is raised in places rather than flat all over. The skirt itself is simple — smooth at the waist, gently flared to just below the knee — which is exactly right for a print doing this much.

How to Style a Checked Midi Skirt

Pale green and pink is already a full colour story, so everything else should be plain white or cream — a fitted white tee tucked in, a cream cardigan, a beige trench thrown over. White trainers and ankle socks keep it easy; a ballet flat makes it softer. The gentle A-line skims the stomach and hip rather than tracing them, which makes it comfortable across most figures, and the diagonal direction of the check does quiet work on proportion by drawing lines across the body rather than straight down. At this length a flat shoe with a visible ankle keeps the leg from looking cut short.

FAQ

Does this skirt run small?
Yes — the letter sizes sit roughly one size below UK equivalents, which is why our chart converts them from the actual measurements. A size S measures 23.6 inches at the waist, so it fits a UK 6 rather than a UK 8. Order by your waist measurement rather than by the letter.

Are the flowers printed or applied?
Both — small three-dimensional fabric roses are stitched onto the surface at intervals, sitting among finer embroidered sprigs and the printed check underneath. That mix of flat and raised is what gives the fabric its texture up close.

Where does the hem sit?
It measures 25.2 inches on the smallest size up to 26.4 inches on the largest, taken from the waistband. That lands at or just below the knee on an average 5'6" frame, and a little lower if you're shorter.
