Side-Slit Textured Crepe Maxi Skirt

Verified claims

Eco-certifications

LENZING ECOVERO lining: EU Ecolabel, 50% lower water/CO2, closed-loop.

Laundering

Cold gentle wash, air dry flat and reshape, no tumble dry, use mesh bag, no softeners/bleach.

Fabric behavior

Shrinks predictably 2-4% length; steaming restores drape; color resists fading with proper care.

Waist fit

Semi-elastic waistband sits at natural waist and accommodates small fluctuations.

Price advantage

At $49 regular ($29.95 sale), undercuts Gap's $108 ECOVERO maxi by >50%.

Waistband

Semi-elastic waistband creates a smooth front and adjusts to minor waist fluctuations.

Fabric comfort

Lightweight, soft, breathable ECOVERO viscose with flowing drape.

Fit and construction

Semi-elastic back waistband and full viscose lining combine for a smooth, flexible, opaque fit.

Care

Wash inside-out in a mesh bag on delicate, then steam; expect 2-4% length shrinkage.

Color retention

ECOVERO's high dye uptake keeps colors and prints fade-resistant.

Coverage

Full lining makes the skirt opaque in all colorways, so no slip is needed.

Pricing

At $49 CAD ($29.95 sale), this maxi costs less than half the $108 Gap alternative.

Care and how it holds up over time

• Never use a dryer — high heat will set deep wrinkles and cause the 35.5-inch length to shrink beyond recovery; instead, lay the skirt flat or hang it to air dry, and gently tug it back to its original shape while damp to maintain the silhouette.
• Because the viscose tightens as it dries, the skirt will feel crisp and slightly stiff after washing — steaming it (or ironing inside-out on low heat) relaxes the fibers back to a soft hand and reactivates the crepe's crinkled drape, which is the key to keeping the maxi looking fluid and polished.
• The fabric must be washed in cold water or on a gentle cycle at 30°C max — hand washing or a machine cycle in a protective garment bag is ideal — because hot water swells the ECOVERO fibers, accelerates shrinkage, and dulls the crepe's surface.
• This fabric typically shrinks 2–4% in length (roughly 0.7–1.4 inches on a 35.5-inch maxi) and 1–3% in width after the first wash, which is better and more predictable than standard viscose's 4–7% — so you can buy true to size knowing the length will settle slightly shorter rather than dramatically.
• Fabric softeners and bleach are incompatible with ECOVERO viscose — they degrade the semi-synthetic fibers, reducing the skirt's longevity and causing the stretch crepe to lose its subtle lustre; a mild liquid detergent without additives preserves the hand and the eco-certified integrity of the material.
• The raised crepe texture is vulnerable to friction — washing the skirt inside out in a mesh garment bag, using a low-spin delicate cycle, and avoiding overcrowded machines prevents the surface from flattening into a smooth, tired-looking finish before its time.

How much stretch and how the waist fits

• The fabric uses LENZING ECOVERO viscose, a fiber sourced from certified renewable wood and produced with a lower environmental footprint than generic viscose, so the skirt’s crepe texture offers both an eco-conscious choice and the soft, fluid drape that allows the maxi silhouette to hang elegantly.
• The 'ultra-comfortable semi-elastic waist' is typical of skirts that incorporate elastic only in the back panel, creating a smooth front and accommodating minor waist fluctuations — a practical detail for a maxi skirt intended for extended wear, as it minimizes gaping at the waistband without sacrificing comfort.

LENZING ECOVERO viscose: sustainability and comfort

• Beyond drape, ECOVERO viscose is breathable, which helps the skirt remain comfortable against the skin in warmer temperatures — a functional advantage that pairs well with the maxi length’s full coverage.
• ECOVERO viscose is fully biodegradable, so at the end of its life the skirt’s fabric can break down naturally in a matter of months under composting conditions — a circular‑economy endpoint that most synthetic‑blend skirts cannot offer.
• The wood pulp for ECOVERO is sourced from certified or controlled forests (typically FSC or PEFC certified), ensuring the skirt’s raw material does not contribute to deforestation or illegal logging — a supply‑chain safeguard that generic viscose often cannot guarantee.
• ECOVERO fibers hold the EU Ecolabel, an independent certification that the fiber meets strict lifecycle environmental standards from raw material to finished product — giving this skirt a concrete, third-party eco-credential rather than a vague “green” claim.
• The fiber is produced in a closed-loop system that recaptures and reuses more than 99% of process solvents and chemicals, drastically cutting the water pollution and chemical waste typically associated with viscose production — a behind‑the‑scenes sustainability gain that reinforces the skirt’s lower‑impact claim.
• ECOVERO’s high dye uptake allows the fabric to achieve rich, even coloration — the vibrant Mossy Green and Patterned Blue variants should resist fading through multiple wears, keeping the skirt’s color fresher for longer than many generic viscose pieces.
• The fiber is inherently lightweight and engineered for a soft handfeel and fluid drape, so the full-length crepe silhouette moves naturally and feels smooth against the skin rather than stiff or clingy.
• Lenzing’s published life-cycle analysis states that ECOVERO viscose production uses up to 50% less water and emits up to 50% less CO₂ than generic viscose, meaning the same soft drape comes with a substantially smaller resource footprint.
