Y2K Black Mesh Floral Skirt

Black Floral Long Skirt — Mesh with Ruffled Fishtail Hem

Size Chart

Both figures are taken with the mesh relaxed and unstretched, so they read smaller than the UK sizes they correspond to — the fabric has real give beyond them. Order by your hip measurement, since the skirt sits close from the waistband through the thigh. The band is designed to sit low, below the natural waist, so measure yourself around the hip bones. Length is taken at the longest point; the ruffled hem finishes unevenly. Between two sizes, size up.

Oversized blooms in bone and pale gold, sketched across black mesh like something scanned from an old scarf. The waistband sits low and flat, the mesh follows the hip and thigh without a seam breaking the print, and then the skirt releases into a ruffled fishtail that flares out at the ankle with a second layer showing beneath it. Faded, slightly gothic, and far more elegant than that combination usually manages.

How to Style a Floral Skirt

The print is faded enough to sit against black without fighting it, so a cropped black vest, a fitted long-sleeve or a shrunken tee all work, with a sliver of waist showing above the low band. Platform boots are the obvious partner and give the fishtail something to break over; silver jewellery, nothing gold. Because the mesh traces the hip and thigh before it flares, this flatters hourglass and pear shapes especially naturally and builds curve on straighter frames — and the low waistband suits longer torsos. It follows the body rather than skimming it, so it's a different proposition from a gathered or A-line maxi.

FAQ

Where does the waistband sit, and how long is it?
The band sits low across the hip bones rather than at the natural waist, and the skirt measures 34.7 to 36.2 inches from there to the longest point of the hem. On an average 5'6" frame that reaches the floor, so a platform or heel keeps the ruffle clear of the ground.

Which size should I order?
Match your hip measurement to the chart and don't be alarmed that the figures look small — they're taken unstretched. Size up rather than down between two rows, since mesh worn at full stretch thins the print and shows more than it's meant to.
