This stunning maxi skirt redefines modern bohemia with its statement dropped waist silhouette — one of the season’s most coveted shapes. Designed to sit lower on the waist before falling into a fluid, full-length hem, it creates an effortlessly cool, elongated line.
Crafted from intricate cotton lace, the texture is the hero — detailed, breathable and undeniably elevated. The delicate embroidered finish brings depth and dimension, giving it that luxe, directional edge seen across this season’s runways.
A soft elastic waistband keeps the look relaxed and wearable, while the skirt is fully lined for complete coverage without losing its light, airy movement.
Style it back with a fitted tank, an oversized knit or a cropped jacket for a modern contrast. This is statement dressing made effortless — romantic, contemporary and designed to turn heads.

Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
What sets this skirt apart is its substantial, beautifully lined lace, which feels luxurious without being sheer or overly fussy. Customers repeatedly praise the flattering drape, comfortable stretch and rich colours, with many finding it easy to dress up or down. The fit tends to be true to size or slightly generous, particularly through the waist.
Customer Fit Feedback
Many reviewers say their usual size fits perfectly, including a size 16 customer who chose XL. Others report extra room at the waist or successfully buying one size smaller, so shoppers between sizes or wanting a closer fit may prefer sizing down; the stretch and wide waistband make the middle feel forgiving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers based on customer reviews
Fit & Sizing
How does the sizing run, and should I order my usual size?
Among 11 reviewers who discussed fit, 8 (73%) described their chosen size as perfect or very flattering. The skirt can run somewhat generously through the waist, so start with your usual size and consider sizing down if you are between sizes; sizing up may work if you prefer extra room over the lower tummy.
Based on 11 customer reviewsIs the shape flattering around the waist and lower tummy?
Six reviewers described the skirt as flattering, including customers who appreciated its stretch and forgiving fit around the waist. A fuller-figured reviewer also liked the coverage, while another customer sized up by choice to avoid a snug look over the lower tummy.
Based on 6 customer reviewsHow does the length work for petite customers?
Three reviewers commented specifically on the length: two found it just right or perfect, while a 157 cm (5'2") customer needed to shorten it. That customer reported that hemming the skirt was easy with a sewing machine, so petite buyers should be prepared for a possible alteration.
Based on 3 customer reviewsMaterial & Quality
Is the lace good quality, or does it feel thin and flimsy?
All 12 reviewers who commented on the fabric or lace described it positively, using terms such as substantial, luxurious, soft, and high quality. The two-layer construction also gives the skirt a more premium feel than a lightweight, unlined lace skirt.
Based on 12 customer reviewsIs the skirt fully lined, and can you see through it?
Seven reviewers highlighted the lining, and one specifically confirmed that the skirt is not sheer. Customers described the lining or underslip as soft, comfortable, and cleverly designed, providing coverage beneath the lace.
Based on 7 customer reviewsDoes the skirt have a lightweight feel or a heavier drape?
Four reviewers described it as substantial, heavyweight, or having a pleasing drape due to its lace and lining layers. This gives it a structured, premium appearance, but shoppers seeking a very light summer skirt may find it heavier than expected.
Based on 4 customer reviewsComfort
Is the waistband comfortable enough for extended wear?
Six reviewers praised the skirt's comfort, particularly its stretch, wide waistband, forgiving waist, and soft lining. Customers wore it to dinners and outings without reporting restriction, although the substantial lining may feel warm in hotter conditions.
Based on 6 customer reviewsPerformance
Will this skirt be too warm to wear in summer?
Four reviewers discussed seasonality and agreed that the lined, double-layer construction provides noticeable warmth. It worked well for winter with tights and for spring, autumn, or cool evenings, but two customers felt it could be too warm on hot summer days.
Based on 4 customer reviewsStyle & Versatility
Can I dress this skirt up and also wear it casually?
Yes. Five reviewers praised its versatility, describing combinations with heels for a dressier look, flats for casual wear, and different tops for dinners, cruises, and other outings; the lace adds glamour without looking overly fussy.
Based on 5 customer reviewsIs this a practical skirt to pack for a trip or cruise?
Two customers specifically chose or recommended it for travel, including one who bought it for a cruise because it was easy to mix and match. Another reviewer reported that it did not require ironing, making it a convenient option for packing, although only one review explicitly addressed wrinkle performance.
Based on 2 customer reviewsDo the colors look attractive and easy to style in person?
Six reviewers specifically praised the color, with several calling it gorgeous, glorious, or versatile. Multiple customers were pleased enough with the appearance to consider purchasing the skirt in another color.
Based on 6 customer reviewsReviews and Counting
Gorgeous heavy weight skirt. Many compliments on my first outing. I love the fit and the colour. The lace has a quality feel to it.
The quality, the colour, the feel and look of this skirt is absolutely stunning. Cannot wait to wear it out!
Bought a Medium the fit is perfect. Love the colour and the length is just right for me. Customer Service is the best, excellent and Delivery Service excellent. If you need a gorgeous Lace Skirt this is the one to buy.
Love the colour and the drape. I ordered the medium and it fits me perfectly. I only received it last week and I’ve worn it twice already. So comfortable and forgiving around the waist with the stretch. I’m only 157cm or 5’2” and I had to shortened it. So easy on my sewing machine. I would definitely recommend this skirt. Might just buy myself another colour
Saw this skirt on website and thought must have it. It has arrived and what a glorious colour. It is so pretty. Thinking of buying the other colours. Never disappointed whenever I purchase any items from Dharma Bums
Beautiful substantial lace skirt - larger than anticipated- went with a small rather than usual medium. Still not tight
