The Gathered Skirt

An everyday Vetch & Clover favourite.

Sometimes you don't need to reinvent a classic.

The Gathered Skirt is simple by design: plenty of fabric, a beautifully full silhouette and enormous pockets. It's an easy foundation for everything from everyday outfits to something a little more fanciful.

• Full gathered silhouette

• Two generously sized pockets

• Made to your waist measurement

• Side zip and wooden button fastening

• Choice of colour and length

• Optional gathered lower panel on ankle length

• Unlined

• Can also be worn as a petticoat

• Made to order in Devon, England

Your skirt begins as lengths of cotton, cut to your chosen length and gathered into its wonderfully full shape.

The waistband is made to your waist measurement before the pockets, side zip and wooden button are added. Once finished, your skirt is checked and pressed before leaving our studio.

Someone made this, especially because you chose it.

100% cotton

A classic woven cotton chosen for its balance of comfort and structure. It has enough body to hold the skirt's generous gathering while remaining easy to wear and care for.

The skirt is left unlined, allowing the cotton to move freely and making it particularly useful for layering.

The Gathered Skirt is fitted at the waist before falling freely over the hips into a full gathered silhouette.

Rather than choosing a standard dress size, simply provide your waist measurement and we'll make the waistband to fit you.

Choose your preferred length when ordering.

Choose your colour. Choose your length.

Keep yours simple, choose something wonderfully colourful, or add the gathered lower panel to the ankle-length version for an extra-full, romantic finish.

Can't find the colour you have in mind? Custom colours may also be available on request.

Made for you in approximately 3–4 weeks.

Your skirt doesn't exist yet. Once your order reaches its turn, the cotton will be cut to your chosen length and waist measurement before being gathered, sewn and finished in our Devon studio.

When it's ready, we'll wrap it carefully and send it on its way to you.
