Skirts

A good skirt gives you outfit after outfit. Ours come in pencil, swing, midi and maxi shapes. Most are tailored at the waist for a neat line under tops. You will find plain styles, prints and a check. Every skirt is made in England from stretch fabrics. Mix them with blouses, knits and jackets for work and evenings out. Sizes run from S to XXL.

The pencil skirt, done properly

The pencil skirt is the backbone of this range. The Pacific, Rhodes, Iselda, Ashford and Antibe are all pencil styles. They sit at the waist and fit close to the knee. Many have a vent at the center back so you can walk freely.

Want pattern? The Faith Print skirt uses our Water Garden print. The Hennessy is a polished check skirt.

Swing, midi and long shapes

  • Ivy Swing Skirt: a fuller skirt with movement.
  • Highfield: an asymmetric A-line midi in Moss Crepe.
  • Huxley: a maxi skirt for evenings.
  • Esoteric: a long black fishtail skirt.

Fabrics include Ripple Crepe, Bi-Stretch and Couture Stretch. Ripple Crepe is light for summer. Bi-Stretch resists wrinkles on busy days. See our fabric guide for more.

Building outfits with skirts

For work, pair a pencil skirt with a fitted top and jacket. For evening, a long skirt and a velvet or sparkle top work well. The Seed Dawlish skirt has a matching peplum jacket. Wear them together as a suit.

Find tops in our tops and skirts range. Find the Dawlish jacket in coats and jackets. For longer hems, browse our midi skirts.

Why our skirts fit so well

A skirt has to fit at the waist and the hips. Ready-made skirts often get one wrong. Our pattern cutters shape each skirt with darts and a tailored waistband. That know-how goes back to our corsetry start in 1985.

Every skirt is designed and made in England. If you are between sizes, choose the size that fits your hips. Our team is always happy to help with fit questions.

Most skirts sit on the knee, with a concealed zipper at the back. Colors include black, blue and red. Several come in prints.

Seed styles like the Esme and Dawlish use the Seed size chart. Check the product page before you order.
