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. This one was made sometime in the 2000s, the origami fold at the hem doing the same job a dart usually does, just louder about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waistband sits a full 6cm deep and stretches generously, 45cm easing out to 55cm at the waist and 55cm to 66cm at the hip, built for real movement rather than a single held pose. A vent opens at the back for ease through the stride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44180830126214,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3850.jpg?v=1784792896","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/origami-ts-taking-shape-2000s-pinstripe-stretch-skirt","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
