Product Insights
Icône's ruffled asymmetrical tier midi skirt, priced at $79 CAD and in stock, creates a continuous vertical line when paired with a fitted tonal top, while ankle boots and sheer tights ground the hem. The elastic waist and flared fit bypass hip measurements for curvy builds, and the 36-inch hem on a size small falls mid-calf at 5 foot 5 and near ankle at 5 foot 2. Made from 100% polyester micromesh with a built-in silky lining, the skirt resists pilling, fading, and stretching, and is fully opaque. At this price, it undercuts similar designs including a comparable & Other Stories skirt originally $119 USD. Care requires washing in a laundry bag on cold delicate with mild detergent, no fabric softener, and hanging to dry; storing on a padded hanger or folding along natural seams prevents creasing.
