Whoever engineered this skirt built the flare from real gore construction, tulle set directly into the seams as proper godets rather than added afterward as trim, which is the part worth admiring regardless of what the label says. Made sometime in the 2000s or 2010s, when tailoring this considered still turned up in ordinary work wardrobes rather than only on runways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe closes at the side with an invisible zip, no visible teeth or tape breaking the tweed's surface, and sits fully lined so the tulle panels never touch skin directly. Each godet widens gradually from waist to hem, which is where all the movement lives, the tulle catching air the tweed never could on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44180665467014,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3821.jpg?v=1784791869"},{"product_id":"origami-ts-taking-shape-2000s-pinstripe-stretch-skirt","title":"Origami · TS Taking Shape 2000s Pinstripe Stretch Skirt","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePinstripe stretch weave · folded origami pleat at front hem · back vent · wide elastic waistband · TS (Taking Shape), Australia · 2000s · 78cm long, 45cm waist stretching to 55 · tagged a vintage 14\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolds at the front hem do something the rest of the skirt does not: refuses to lie flat,  origami creases that catch the pinstripe mid-line and send them off at a different angle, so the stripes stop marching for exactly one moment before falling back into order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stretch comes built into the weave itself, viscose carrying nylon, polyester and elastane so the pinstripe moves with a body rather than resisting it, the waistband alone giving a full ten centimetres of ease. TS, more properly Taking Shape, has been designing curve fashion in Melbourne since 1985, one of Australia's longest-running specialists in exactly this kind of considered, wearable tailoring for real bodies rather than sample sizes.
