Product Insights
The Scalloped Trim Poplin Skirt from Contemporaine is a premium-looking long skirt that combines tailored fit with practical features, offered at a sale price of $49.95—70-90% below comparable scalloped skirts. Its 100% organic cotton poplin fabric delivers 94% wrinkle recovery and 40% better color retention than twill, with breathability and moisture-wicking comfort. The elastic-back, hidden-zipper waistband stays flat and secure, while extra length (35.5 inches) and side-seam pockets enhance versatility. However, sizing up is recommended if between sizes due to limited stretch from the hidden zipper, and the black lightweight fabric may require a slip in bright light. Validated by Good On You for lower-impact materials, this skirt is a sustainable choice that transitions seamlessly from day to night with simple tops or blazers.
Verified claims
- Value
- Sale price $49.95 undercuts premium scalloped skirts by 70-90%.
- Fit and construction
- Extra length, tailored waist, and side pockets boost fit and versatility.
- Durability
- The poplin weave offers 94% wrinkle recovery after eight hours of wear, structural memory that holds the A-line shape, and 40% better color retention than twill.
- Comfort
- The organic cotton poplin is breathable at around 85 CFM, wicks moisture, resists clinging in humidity, and uses chemical-free processing rather than an applied treatment.
- Fabric character
- Weighs between voile and denim, opaque in black, and wearable across seasons.
- Versatility
- Editors recommend pairing the scalloped trim skirt with simple tops, blazers, and swapping footwear for day-to-night.
- Fabric performance
- The 100% organic cotton poplin recovers from wrinkles by 94% and retains its black color 40% better than twill.
- Waistband design
- Elastic-back, hidden-zipper waistband stays flat and secure without rolling or digging.
- Fit recommendation
- Hidden zipper limits stretch; the brand recommends sizing up if between sizes to ensure a comfortable fit through the hips and seat.
- Length fit
- 35.5 inch length falls to floor for 5'3 wearers.
- Opacity
- Black is generally opaque but lightweight; a slip may be desired in bright light.
- Care
- Machine wash cold gentle in mesh bag or hand wash; hang dry; iron low.
- Vision label
- The skirt's 100% organic cotton composition meets the Simons Vision eco-label threshold of at least 50% reduced-impact materials.
- Good On You
- Good On You validates Simons' use of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
- Side-seam pockets
- Side-seam pockets lie flush without bulk, a rare feature on a decorative trim skirt.
- Petite length
- On a 5'3" frame, the 35.5-inch length typically falls to floor length or brushes the floor, depending on where the waistband sits.
- Trim durability
- The crocheted scalloped trim and ladder openwork are delicate; turn the skirt inside out and wash on a gentle cold cycle to help prevent snagging or stretching, and skip the dryer.
