Product Information

The peplum is definitely an interesting type of skirt. It is tapered and close-fitting around the waist and thighs, usually falling to about knee-length. But that’s not all. The peplum shirt wouldn’t be a peplum skirt without an extra ruffle of fabric around the waist. This extra piece of fabric is the same color as the rest of the skirt and it’s what gives this style its very distinct look. The poodle skirt is really a variation of the circle skirt, but this style is so iconic it definitely deserves its own place on any list. The poodle skirt was the ubiquitous look of the 1950s thanks to Juli Lynn Charlot. She was an actress and designer who did not know how to sew. In 1947, she added some adorable poodle appliques to a felt circle skirt…and made fashion history.

Do you have more of a straight shape? You can successfully wear miniskirts and maybe even microminis if you’re feeling brave.

The rah-rah skirt , or ra-ra skirt , is inspired by the classic cheerleader skirt. The rah-rah skirt has two or more overlapping tiers of material or flounces. It’s a short skirt the typically ends above the knee. This is a great skirt to pair with an oversized sweater when you want a cute fall look. Ruffle Around 500 B.C.E., the fashionable Greeks wore an outfit they called peplos . This is where the word peplum comes from. This outfit was a long tube of fabric that was draped and tied at the waist to create an extra fold of fabric for the top half of the body. This was then cinched a second time to add an extra flap around the waist, creating the peplum shape. Greek women often wore this look. The fustanella is a knee-length, pleated skirt that is worn in Greece and Albania. The fustanella , also called fustanelle , is made with white fabric. Twill fabric is a woven fabric that is usually made out of materials such as cotton, silk or polyester, and it is characterized by parallel, diagonal ridges. Some of the many characteristics of a twill skirt include resistance to staining, its durability and its attractive look. You may think of the box pleat skirt as a cheerleader skirt since box pleats are very commonly used to make this garment. Box pleats are a popular type of pleat that creates a distinct style. Once you know how to recognize a box pleat, you’ll always be able to spot this style feature.

The A-line skirt is a great skirt for the pear-shaped figure (that's me!). This skirt is usually knee-length and forms a triangular shape when laid flat. It is an easy-to-sew option and makes up nicely in most fabric types. A ruffle skirt , or ruffled skirt , can be many different types of skirts. Any skirt that has a ruffle is a ruffle skirt. Sarong Skirts that have the bell-shaped design are usually flared on both ends. This flare on both sides of the skirt allows the skirt to look more elegant and also to look as if it has been layered. Bell skirts can come in various lengths and colors. The design of a bell skirt also makes the skirt look formal whether it is made with a solid color, print, or plaid. Box Pleat No one wears bell skirts anymore, which were too big for practical wear. Skirts became so huge that women had trouble getting through doorways and any social event ended up cramped even with just a few guests. The huge bell skirt made even sitting difficult, and crawling in and out of a carriage was certainly a struggle. Toward the late 1800s, fashion slimmed way down and skirts became much more manageable. The bell skirt ended up as a brief fashion moment that is unlikely to ever make a return.
