Product Insights

The Nocturnal Plaid Pleated Chiffon Skirt by Contemporaine offers a sustainable alternative in long skirts using certified recycled polyester that matches virgin polyester in wrinkle resistance, color retention, and pleat durability, while reducing waste and carbon emissions. Its heat-set pleats create alternating translucent and opaque bands in light, and the A-line cut with full lining provides opaque coverage (with slight sheerness at the hem in bright light) and fits heights 5'0 to 5'9 with adjustable hem placement via rise changes. At $125 CAD, it undercuts luxury brands, but requires hang drying to maintain pleat shape and avoid ironing and tumble-drying.

Verified claims

Care instructions
Hang drying is essential to maintain pleat shape.
Light-play
Pleats create alternating translucent and opaque bands in light.
Pleat care
Pleats are heat-set permanent; hang dry to restore, avoid ironing and tumble-drying.
Coverage
Full lining provides opaque coverage; slight sheerness at hem in bright light.
Hem placement
Fits heights from 5'0 to 5'9 with hem from below-calf to midi.
Rise adjustment
High rise drops hem toward ankle; low rise lifts it to mid-calf.
A-line cut
Pleated A-line silhouette prevents an abrupt hem line at the calf.
Value
At $125 CAD, it undercuts luxury while using certified recycled polyester.
Pleat retention
Heat-set pleats hold identically to virgin polyester chiffon.
Environmental impact
Recycled polyester from plastic bottles reduces waste, energy use, and carbon emissions.
Certification
Carries Simons' Vision designation confirming at least 50% reduced-impact materials.
Performance parity
Recycled polyester chiffon matches virgin polyester in wrinkle resistance, color retention, and pleat durability.
Fabric performance
Recycled polyester chiffon resists wrinkling, dries quickly, and holds color with lower environmental impact.
