A calf-length pleated skirt for check-pattern outfits
This Contemporaine skirt is styled in photos with a navy checked pattern, a smooth banded waist worn at the natural waist, and dense knife pleats that flare toward the hem. In the product images it falls to mid-calf on the model, though length may vary by size and wearer. The pleats create vertical folds that open slightly toward the bottom, ending in a slightly scalloped hem with visible pleat tips.[2,3]

| Celestial Checks Pleated Skirt: Choose this if you want a flared, pleated midi skirt with an all-over navy check pattern and an easy elastic waist. It is a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive designed in Canada, made of 66% polyester from recycled plastic bottles and 34% viscose in a light, fluid fabric with dense, narrow knife pleats that open slightly toward the hem. It comes in sizes XX-SMALL to X-LARGE in Patterned Blue; the measured length is 35 inches (89 cm) in size SMALL, and the mid-calf look may vary by size and wearer.[1,2,3,4] | Pleated Structured Twill Flared Skirt: Choose this if you are looking for a highly structured, A-line midi skirt made from dense, slightly stretch cotton twill in an Off White color. This piece features a high waistband with a flared silhouette defined by distinct box pleats and practical inset side pockets. The look is finalized with a smooth, matte finish and a wide stitched hem band.[5,6,7,8] | Flared Textured Crepe Pleated Skirt: Choose this if you want a flared A-line midi with sewn pleats at the waist, slant pockets, belt loops, and a zip fly with hidden hook closure, offered in sizes 2 to 16 across Black, Hazelnut, and Navy/Midnight Blue. The delicately textured stretch crepe is described as fluid and thick for an impeccable drape, and 58% of its polyester comes from recycled plastic bottles. Note that the skirt is unlined, and one image analysis noted slight natural waviness at the finished hem; listed length is 31.5 inches (81 cm) in size 4.[9,10,11] |

Pleated skirt
Loved this skirt but had to exchange the medium for an xs. Normally wear a size 10 skirt and the elastic waist on the medium was huge! Recommended to size down.
Still Mad for Plaid
The blue plaid caught my eye first. I loved the way it was styled. The fit & fall of the skirt will be easy to style for lunches, lectures and train trips. This skirt is perfect.
