The 14" at the top of the skirt is an extended length band of doubled organic cotton spandex which is very stretchy. Because of this, the skirt can work on any body, short or tall, larger or smaller. Play with the height of the band, as it's placement on your waist and hips adjusts the length of the skirt. it can be comfortably worn very long, with the cotton spandex hugging the hips, or substantially shorter by pulling the band up above your true waist and folding it over. It can be worn as a sleeveless dress. The Tiered part of the skirt measures 29-30" in length. The band at the top adds 14".
Try it inside out- the longest Tier of Cotton lawn will be prominent with the shorter tiers beneath acting as crinoline, causing a fuller shape that stands out a bit.
Tie the top tier in a loose knot to let the lace show. Tuck a piece of the top tier into the waistband to show even more lace. We love this skirt with boots, but you can add pretty shoes if you prefer.
