Burnt orange is the color of the year! This classic print is one of the earliest African wax print designs, it was originally produced in the Ivory Coast. It’s called “Shell”, or “Helmet”, or “Bunch of bananas”.
Match this midi skirt with either pale or dark colors, for cool summer, spring or autumn style.

Made from a lovely soft cotton, this skirt has a flattering shape, and is easy-to-wear. Tuck in your favorite old Tshirt, or your silky evening blouse, either way you’ll look fabulous! Did you see it has pockets too?!

About the cut: It has an elasticated waistband, it’s slightly gathered at the top, with a fuller gathered skirt tier.
The pockets are sewn into seams that are moved frontwards so it’s sort of slimming, and extremely comfy for your hands!

Please check all sizes and measurements below.
Model height in photos: 5 feet 6.5 inches (1.69 mtrs).

Sizes:

Due to the elastic waistband, each size fits various body shapes.
I highly recommend to compare the length and waist to a skirt you already have.

Each waist size has two options, smaller or larger. For example if you are waist size 8, you can choose size 6-8 or 8-10.

If you like to wear skirts high on your waist, I recommend choosing the smaller size, it’s best to have the waistband stretch a bit on your waist.
If you like wearing skirts low on your hips, choose the looser fit.
It’s easiest to compare the length to a skirt you already have.

Skirt length:
MIDI - skirt length (top of waistband to hem) - 30" / 76cm

* If you’d like it slightly shorter - convo me and I’ll be happy to help.
Because of the print placement, I recommend shortening by about 7-8 cm at the most.
