A Line Pleated Midi Skirt with Elastic Waist

Pleats do something no plain skirt can. They hold their shape while you stand still and then move all at once when you walk, which is why an a line pleated midi never quite looks casual even when you are wearing it with a tee. This Juna skirt sets those pleats on a smocked elastic waistband, so it pulls on and sits where it should without a zip or a hook to think about.

The fabric is 100% polyester and the body is not lined, which keeps the pleats light and lets them fall properly rather than hanging stiff. It comes in four colours, rust, orange red, brown and black, in one size. The measurements below show a length of 29.9 inches with a waist of 25.2 inches and a hip of 48 inches, so the waistband has real give through the smocking while the skirt stays generous through the hip and hem.

A fitted top is the natural partner, a plain tee or a ribbed cami tucked in so the waist stays visible and the volume starts where it should. Flat sandals in warm weather, ankle boots and a knit once it cools, and the rust and brown shades both take a tan belt or a tan boot well. Black is the easiest to build on if you are only choosing one. Keep the top simple and let the pleats be the thing that moves.
