Leaf and flower motifs, lifted with small beads and sequins, are scattered over the whole surface. From a distance, the skirt reads as plain. Up close, the light catches the relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fully elasticated high waist, full and flared. A horizontal seam at mid-thigh introduces gathers that give a godet volume to the bottom of the skirt.

No bleach. Iron at low temperature, on the reverse, without dwelling on the embroidered areas. Dry hung on a hanger, or preferably flat to avoid pulling on the waistband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne size. Elasticated waistband adjusting from a waist measurement of 62 to 80 cm. Total length: 88 cm. As the cut is full, only the waist determines the drape. Allow a measurement tolerance of 1 to 3 cm, inherent to velvet pieces. If you are over 1.72 m, the skirt will fall at mid-calf rather than at the ankle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne size — will it really fit me?\u003c\/strong\u003e The waistband is elasticated all the way round and stretches from 62 to 80 cm. The bottom is full and therefore never restrictive. Beyond an 80 cm waist, however, the elastic would be too stretched and the skirt would ride up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo the beads and sequins survive washing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The embroidery is fixed to the fabric, but they remain applied elements. Wash cold, inside out, and avoid the tumble dryer: it is heat and rubbing that weaken this kind of finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsn't velvet too dressy for the daytime?\u003c\/strong\u003e The matte velvet and the deep colourways stay sober. With a plain jumper and loafers, the skirt works day to day without difficulty. It is the accessories that tip it towards the evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SQOCH","offers":[{"title":"One size \/ coffee brown","offer_id":55284054950217,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"One size \/ black","offer_id":55284054982985,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/0782\/2921\/files\/jupe-longue-en-velours-brodee-de-motifs-feuilles-01.jpg?v=1788858268","url":"https:\/\/sqoch.fr\/en-gb\/products\/jupe-longue-velours-brodee-feuilles","provider":"SQOCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
