Standard Sizes

Skirt length is measured from the top of waistband to the bottom of the hem. Petticoats tend to sit just below the skirt waistband so a 23" petticoat suits a 25" skirt and a 25" petticoat suits a 27" skirt. No hard and fast rules though, some ladies like their petticoats the same length or longer than their skirts. We quote maximum hip sizes as you need to be able to get into the skirt!

Skirt Construction

All skirts have an elastic waistband. This can be in black, navy, white or red elastic to match or contrast with the fabric, or the elastic may be covered with the skirt fabric, as appropriate. Most hems are finished with a rolled edge to minimise bulk, but some are overlocked and turned under.

Shrinkage

Some cotton fabrics may shrink a little during their first wash. We test wash a sample of each new roll of fabric and in general, IF we find shrinkage, it's usually between 1% and 3%. To put this into perspective, a 25" skirt with 2% shrinkage will become just under half an inch shorter after the first wash. If this is important to you, please ask about the fabrics you have in mind BEFORE you decide to buy.

Made-to-order

We can make skirts in almost any size, including children. Please email your sizes And we will price it. Circular skirts with elastic waists are great for cross-dressers as it is easy to get a good fit. If you don't fit a standard size, just email.
