Satin-Effect Mermaid Hem Midi Skirt

A high-waist skirt in fluid, satin-sheen fabric cut on the bias so it skims close through the hip and drops in soft folds rather than structured pleats. The hem flares out into a fishtail below the knee, giving it movement as you walk without adding bulk at the waist. The bias cut is what does the shaping here — there's little stretch in the fabric itself, so the close fit through the hip comes from the grain of the cut rather than elastane. It pairs easily with a simple fitted top for evening or a relaxed knit for daytime, letting the fluid drape and subtle sheen carry the look.

Fluid satin-effect weave with a soft sheen and liquid drape that relies on the bias cut for its close fit — there's little stretch, so the shape comes from the cut, not elastane. Hand wash cold or dry clean, and hang to dry on a padded hanger to avoid crease lines forming at the waist.

The bias-cut construction shapes the skirt to the body using fabric grain and seaming rather than added elastane or lining layers, keeping the material makeup simple.
