Product Information

The Elastic Waist Lace-Up Mini Skirt from Chic Atelier is the most practical short skirt in the range, and that is meant as a compliment. An elasticated high waistband means there is no zip to fight, no button to gap and no fixed measurement to size around, so it fits comfortably across a wider range of bodies than a tailored waistband ever could.

Lace-up detailing at the front gives you a second point of adjustment and stops the design reading as plain. The cut is slim and A-line, flaring only slightly from an empire seam before stopping above the knee, which keeps the silhouette neat rather than bouncy.

It is made from a blended polyester and elastane knit with slight stretch, a combination that recovers its shape after wear and resists the sagging that ruins a cheap mini skirt after a few washes. Lengths run from sixty-one centimetres in an extra small to seventy-five in a large. This is a genuine year-round piece: bare legs in summer, opaque tights and boots once it cools. Machine wash cold and hang to dry. The elasticated waistband also makes it a forgiving choice across a day, since it moves with you rather than digging in after a meal.

No Zip To Fight

An elasticated high waistband means there is no zip to wrestle with and no button to gap at the front. You pull it on and it sits where it should. That is the most practical short skirt in the range, and that is meant as a compliment. Practical is what gets worn.

Lace Up Where It Counts

The lace up detail at the front gives the skirt a focal point that a plain mini would not have. It sits against a simple shape, so it reads as design rather than decoration. You can also adjust how tightly it draws. Small detail, and the reason this skirt looks like a choice.

Comfortable Across More Bodies

Because there is no fixed measurement to size around, it fits comfortably across a wider range of bodies than a tailored waistband would. It also stays comfortable through a meal, which a rigid skirt rarely does. Pair it with trainers in the day or a boot in the evening. Chic Atelier would rather a skirt fit you than the other way round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a zip or button?

Neither. The high waistband is elasticated, so you pull it on and nothing gaps or digs in at the front.

How forgiving is the fit?

Very. With no fixed measurement to size around, it sits comfortably across a wider range of bodies and stays comfortable through a meal.

Is the lacing adjustable?

Yes, you can draw it tighter or leave it easier, and it gives the front of the skirt its focal point.

What shoes suit it?

Trainers keep it casual in the day and a boot or heel takes the same skirt into the evening without any other change.

How do I wash it?

Cold wash and low tumble. Keeping it off high heat protects the elastic in the waistband so the fit stays snug.
