White Polka Dot Midi Skirt

White Polka Dot Skirt — Sheer Overlay with Ruffle Hem

Size Chart

These are garment measurements with ease already built in, so they read larger than standard UK body sizing — order by your own waist measurement and expect a little room rather than a close fit. Hip measurements aren't supplied, as the skirt falls straight from the waist rather than tracing the hip. Length is taken from the waistband to the hem of the underskirt, which sits slightly below the dotted layer. Between two sizes, take the larger one.

Black spots on cream is the print that always looks more expensive than it is, and here it's been given some architecture. A fine dotted layer sits over a plain underskirt, so the spots float slightly clear of the body rather than lying flat against it, and the underskirt drops just below with a small gathered frill running along its edge. The effect is two hemlines where you expected one.

How to Style a Polka Dot Skirt

Spots go sharper when everything around them is solid and dark, so a burgundy or black leather jacket, a fine knit, and knee-high boots to close the gap below the hem. A structured bag rather than anything slouchy. The straight cut falls from the waist without gripping the hip, which makes it comfortable across most shapes and particularly kind if you'd rather not have the hip traced — and the double hemline draws a horizontal line at the knee, so a boot that meets it or a heel that lifts it keeps the leg looking long. On petite frames, a heel matters more here than on a shorter skirt.

FAQ

Is the polka dot layer see-through?
The dotted fabric is fine and light enough to see through on its own, which is what gives the spots their floating effect. It isn't worn alone though — a plain underskirt sits beneath it and provides the coverage, finishing a little lower with a small ruffled edge that shows deliberately at the hem.

Where does this skirt sit on the leg?
It measures 24.0 to 24.8 inches from the waistband, which lands at or just below the knee on an average 5'6" frame. That's shorter than a true midi, so if you're expecting mid-calf coverage this will sit higher than you think.

Does this skirt run large?
The waist figures include ease, so they look generous next to standard UK sizing — a size S measures 28.4 inches at the waist but is cut for a smaller body than that. Order by your own waist measurement and go up rather than down if you're between sizes.
