• Tiered Petal Ruffle Design: Multiple layers of ruffled hems cascade gracefully, mimicking the unfolding petals of a blooming flower—a hallmark of classic Lolita aesthetics

• Elastic Waistband: Adjustable fit for ultimate comfort throughout the day, perfect for extended wear at events or all-day styling

Premium Fabric & Craftsmanship

This skirt is meticulously constructed using a sophisticated blend of materials:

The peachskin fabric is carefully selected for its soft tactile quality and sophisticated appearance—a fabric choice favored in vintage Lolita production for its ability to hold structured shapes while remaining comfortable against the skin. The four-directional elastic lining adapts to movement, ensuring the skirt maintains its pristine appearance throughout the day.

A Palette of Romance: Three Enchanting Colors

This versatile skirt is available in three carefully curated colorways, each telling its own story:

• 🧡 Orange-Red: A warm, saturated terracotta tone that evokes autumn forest walks and vintage textile aesthetics. Perfect for warm-season coordinates and pairs beautifully with cream, ivory, and muted earth tones
• 💚 Dark Green: A sophisticated forest green that embodies the natural, grounded aesthetic of cottagecore Lolita. Ideal for gothic-Lolita blends and creates striking contrasts with white or cream blouses
• 🌿 Ivy Green: A softer, more muted sage-green shade that captures the essence of romantic woodland aesthetics. Versatile enough for both classic and sweet Lolita coordinates

Size Chart & Fit Guide

All measurements are taken flat-laid and may vary by 0.8″-1.2″ (2-3 cm) due to manual measurement processes. If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for optimal comfort and freedom of movement.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Petal Swing Skirt:

• Initial Wash: Mild color bleeding may occur during the first few washes—always wash this skirt separately or with like colors to prevent color transfer
• Detergent Choice: Use gentle, bleach-free detergents only. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate peachskin fabric or fade colors
• Water Temperature: Wash in cool to lukewarm water; avoid hot water which may set stains and weaken fibers
• Drying Method: Hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. Never use a machine dryer
• Ironing: If needed, iron on low heat with a pressing cloth to protect the ruffled details and maintain the matte finish
• Storage: Hang or gently fold; avoid compression for extended periods to preserve the shape and ruffle definition
