The elasticated waistband ensures an easy fit, while two length options—standard (26” / 66cm) and short (22” / 56cm)—make it versatile for pairing with different styles of dresses.

Available in size S/M (UK 8–12, US 4–8) and M/L (UK 14–18, US 10–14), the soft stretch waist offers a forgiving fit across body shapes.

Ethically made in our main factory in India, it’s a wardrobe staple for anyone who loves the femininity and flair of authentic mid-century style.

Elizabeth J. ★★★★★

The black tulle layers sit just right under my swing dress, giving it that perfect 1950s bounce without being too poofy. The waistband stays put all day through sitting, standing, and twirling. Really glad I picked this up for my vintage-themed dinner party.

Thomas ★★★★★

The frilly hem has just the right amount of stiffness to hold out a full skirt without feeling like cardboard, and the black shade makes it invisible under lighter fabrics. I wore it to a retro dance and got that authentic 1950s silhouette all night long.

Jason ★★★★★

The waist ties are adjustable and the layers have that perfect mid-century swish without being too poofy. I wore it under a swing skirt and got compliments all night — it really holds its shape after a full day of wear.
