Product Information

The High Waist Floor Length Skirt from Chic Atelier does the one thing a long skirt has to do properly, which is move. Cut loose and full from a high waist, it falls all the way to the floor without gripping the hip or thigh, so it stays cool in heat and reads elegant rather than restrictive.

The high rise is doing real work here. Setting the waistband above the natural line shortens the torso and lengthens everything below it, and because the skirt is A-line rather than straight, the volume falls away from the body instead of clinging to it. A geometric pattern breaks up what would otherwise be a large expanse of plain fabric.

It is made from a woven polyester broadcloth with no stretch, chosen because a non-stretch weave holds the A-line shape and drapes in clean vertical lines rather than collapsing. Lengths run from sixty-six centimetres in a small to seventy-eight in an extra large. Wear it with a tucked shirt and flat sandals for the office, or a vest and heels for an evening. Machine wash cold and hang to dry. Because there is no stretch anywhere in the weave, check the waist measurement against the size chart before ordering rather than sizing by eye.

A Long Skirt That Actually Moves

A floor length skirt has one job to do properly, and that is move. This one is cut loose and full so it falls all the way down without gripping the hip or thigh at any point. In heat that difference is not subtle. It reads elegant rather than restrictive, which is the whole reason to own one.

The High Rise Does Real Work

The high waistband sits above the natural line, which lifts where the skirt starts and lengthens everything below it. It also gives you a clean place to tuck a top without bulk. That is two useful things from one seam. It is why the same skirt looks intentional with a plain t shirt.

Elegant Without Being Restrictive

Because nothing is fitted below the waist you can sit through a long dinner without adjusting anything. Air moves under it, which makes a full length skirt genuinely wearable in summer. Flat sandals keep it easy and a heel lifts the hem for an evening. Chic Atelier made it for warm weather that goes on late.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it hot to wear in summer?

The opposite. It is cut loose and full so air moves underneath, which makes it cooler than most fitted shorter styles.

Where does the waistband sit?

High, above the natural waist, which lengthens the line below and gives a clean place to tuck a top.

Will it be too long without heels?

It is designed to reach the floor, which looks intentional with flat sandals. A heel simply lifts the hem for an evening.

What tops work with it?

Anything tucked. A plain t shirt, a fitted knit or a camisole all balance the volume of the skirt well.

How do I care for it?

Wash cold, tumble low and hang it from the waistband so the length hangs straight and the hem stays even.
