The Sidewalk Skirt
The Sidewalk Skirt
This pattern features a subtle A-line silhouette with two front box pleats for shape and movement, balanced by an elasticated back waistband for comfort and ease. The result is a clean, pull-on style that feels both relaxed and refined.
Dress it up, dress it down, wear it on a slow morning or out the door in five minutes. This is a skirt designed to move with you.
