Product Insights

The Satiny Drawcord-Waist Skirt from Contemporaine uses a durable twill satin weave that resists wrinkles and snags while providing a subtle sheen, with rare functional side-seam pockets that preserve its A-line silhouette. Its adjustable drawstring waist allows cinching at waist or hips to transition from midi to above-ankle length, and the TENCEL lyocell and recycled nylon blend improves drape, breathability, and wrinkle resistance over typical polyester satin. The unlined stretch twill moves with the body, but the skirt requires gentle hand washing or dry cleaning, and lighter colors may be slightly sheer, necessitating a slip.

Verified claims

Design
Rare functional side-seam pockets preserve the A-line silhouette.
Pleating
Flat pleating creates a smooth A‑line silhouette that compresses cleanly when cinched.
Fabric quality
The twill satin weave resists wrinkling and is more durable than charmeuse satin.
Twill satin weave
Diagonal ribbing gives subtle satiny sheen and visible texture.
Durability
Wrinkle-resistant and more snag-resistant than standard satin.
Two-sided face
Satin finish on face only; reverse side is matte for skin comfort.
Opacity
The twill weave offers more opacity than plain-woven satin, but the unlined construction means lighter colors may still be somewhat sheer.
Drape
TENCEL content improves drape and resists wrinkles better than cotton.
Sustainability
The skirt qualifies for Simons’ Vision program, meaning at least 50% of its materials are reduced-impact compared to conventional alternatives.
Adjustable fit
Drawstring waist cinches for custom fit and can be worn at waist or hips for different lengths.
Pleated silhouette
Flat pleats maintain the A-line silhouette whether the waist is cinched or loose.
Fabric stretch
Unlined stretch twill moves with the body and drapes without bunching when cinched.
Material
Fabric blend includes TENCEL lyocell and recycled nylon for breathability and durability beyond typical polyester satin.
Value
At $69.95 CAD (44% off $125), this skirt undercuts high-street satin skirts that use 100% polyester.
Care instructions
Gentle hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the satiny finish and lightweight twill.
Layering
Layers easily over a slip or tights without clinging.
Fit & Movement
Adjustable waist and stretch fabric allow free movement without restriction.
Fabric Performance
TENCEL lyocell wicks moisture and resists wrinkles for all-day freshness.
Sheerness
Gentle hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning is recommended; lighter colors may be somewhat sheer, and a slip or nude undergarments are recommended for opacity.
Waist adjustability
Adjustable waistband transitions from formal midi to casual above-ankle without bunching.
Warm-weather breathability
The TENCEL lyocell blend actively wicks moisture and can lower surface temperature by 0.5–1°C compared to non-absorbing synthetics, making the skirt feel cooler and less clammy in humid weather than polyester satin.
