Long Pleated Lace Skirt

About

A long pleated skirt built on one gesture: the pleats are stitched flat over the hip, release into sharp knife pleats, and a deep front vent opens onto a white lace panel with every step. The same lace returns at the hem, showing in a scalloped line below the dark fabric. The waistband is high and smooth. Standing still the skirt is strict; walking, it is not — which is the point. A voluminous blouse keeps the proportions romantic, a fine roll-neck turns them modern.
