Product Insights
The Second Female Alisa Elastic Waist Khaki Poplin Skirt offers a blend of Scandinavian minimalism and modern French femininity, crafted from 100% organic cotton poplin that is soft and safe for sensitive skin, with a poplin weave that holds the A-line silhouette without sagging. It features a drawstring that cinches for fit and serves as a fallback when elastic relaxes, deep pockets that hold a phone, keys, and wallet without visible bulges, and is true to size with a relaxed, roomy fit. The main tradeoff is that the pure cotton poplin wrinkles naturally, though the khaki color minimizes visible creases, and it requires cold-water wash and air drying to protect the fabric and elastic, all while being part of Second Female's broader organic cotton collection.
Verified claims
- Comfort
- 100% organic cotton poplin is soft and safe for sensitive skin.
- Wear performance
- Poplin weave holds the A-line silhouette without sagging.
- Care
- Cold-water wash and air drying protect the skirt's fabric and elastic.
- Sustainability
- This skirt is part of Second Female's broader organic cotton collection.
- Pockets
- The large front patch pockets are deep enough to hold a full-size phone, and the skirt's gathered volume through the hips plus the crisp organic cotton poplin keep loaded pockets from protruding visibly.
- Drawstring
- Drawstring cinches for fit and serves as fallback when elastic relaxes.
- Design aesthetic
- Scandinavian minimalism with modern French femininity; 25-year design history.
- Fit
- True to size with a regular, comfortable fit; the elastic-and-drawstring waist adjusts, and the poplin holds its shape.
- Wrinkling
- Pure cotton poplin wrinkles naturally; khaki color minimizes visible creases.
- Fabric feel
- Certified organic cotton poplin is noticeably softer and free of skin-irritating potential compared with conventional cotton, which matters most where the high waistband sits against bare skin.
- Opacity
- The khaki poplin is medium-weight and dark enough that it is unlikely to show undergarments in bright light; wearing nude undergarments removes any remaining show-through risk.
- Waistband longevity
- Using the front drawstring to secure the waist instead of relying only on the elastic reduces daily strain on the band and slows the loss of recovery that eventually makes elastic waistbands go limp.
- Color undertone
- The Khaki/Hazelnut colorway reads as a muted, earthy khaki with warm brown tones and a subtle greenish cast in daylight, rather than a pure pale beige.
- Lining and static
- The skirt is an unlined, single-layer cotton poplin; the crisp fabric drapes slightly away from the body so clinging is minimal, though it can pick up static against tights in dry conditions.
- Seasonal weight
- The cotton poplin is a light-to-mid weight: crisp and airy for summer, with enough body to layer with tights and boots into early fall, but not a deep-winter fabric.
- Pocket count
- The skirt has only the two large front patch pockets; there are no side-seam or back pockets.
- Waistband shrinkage risk
- The organic cotton poplin can shrink up to 5%, and because the elasticized waistband casing is woven poplin with no mechanical stretch, shrinkage there can restrict the waistband's stretch and recovery.
- Drawstring placement
- The drawstring exits at center front, so cinching gathers the waist symmetrically and keeps the A-line flare from going lopsided.

| Alisa Elastic Waist Khaki Poplin Skirt: Choose this if you want a long, ankle-length A-line skirt in light, crisp 100% organic cotton poplin with a relaxed, cargo-inspired feel. It has an elastic gathered waistband with a drawstring tie at the front, large front patch pockets, and a 36 inch (92 cm) length, offered in the Hazelnut color in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note that the fabric can show faint creasing, and the fitted-at-waist, waist-slimming description reflects the retailer's characterization of the design.[1,2,3,4,5] | Wila Contrast Lace Satin Skirt: Choose this if you want a long, straight satin slip skirt in taupe with a semi-sheer contrast floral lace hem and scalloped, fringed edging. It has a high waist with a hidden elastic waistband and hidden side zip, a soft drape with a subtle sheen, and measures 36 inches (92 cm) long in size small, with sizes X-Small to X-Large. Note that the fabric may shrink up to 5%, and care involves washing inside out with similar colors or drycleaning (any solvent except trichloroethylene).[6,7,8,9,10,11,12] | Tie-Belted Lightweight Nylon Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a high-waisted, A-line maxi skirt with soft fullness — it is made of fine, ultra light nylon (100% polyamide) with a soft viscose lining, sewn waist pleats, a matching self-tie belt, hidden side zip, and slit side-seam pockets. It falls to about 34 inches (86.5 cm) and comes in Light Brown, sized X-Small to Large. Note the lightweight fabric shows soft creasing and a slight crinkled texture, and slight puckering was observed along the hem seam.[13,14,15,16] |
