Dimi Pockets Midi Skirt

Verified claims

A-line silhouette

Double thickness keeps A-line silhouette crisp, pleats open, and movement fluid.

Underskirt

Material

73% certified organic cotton and 27% polyester blend ensures stability, thickness, and satiny sheen.

Timeless design

Timeless design strengthens cost-per-wear by outlasting seasonal trends.

Seasonless design

Released outside seasonal cycles, the skirt stays timeless and wearable across multiple seasons.

Construction

Double-thickness weave, pin tucks, crease-resistant polyester, local manufacturing, and fixed waistband ensure enduring silhouette.

Origin

Made in Spain in family-owned factories.

Price context

CAD 495 exceeds Paloma's typical range; organic cotton and Spanish production differentiate.

Sizing

True to size in sizes 36 and 38, but only two sizes offered.

Waist fit

Between sizes, size up to avoid zipper distorting the front pleats.

Opacity

Full cotton voile lining makes the skirt opaque without an extra slip.

Drape

Double-thickness cotton voile construction gives the skirt a crisp A-line shape that holds.

Movement

The lining prevents the outer fabric from clinging for fluid one-layer movement.

Breathability

Cotton voile lining keeps the skirt breathable for warm-weather wear.

Sheen and structure

The polyester blend gives the voile a satiny sheen and keeps the A-line shape crisp.

Wrinkle resistance

Polyester content helps the fabric resist creases and keeps pleats sharp.

Pleat durability

Double-thickness fabric and pin tucks keep pleats crisp; polyester adds memory.

Pleat maintenance

Steam pleats after drying; polyester and pin tucks ease reshaping.

Bleach

Only non-chlorine bleach is safe for the skirt.

Wash

Wash whites separately; use pH-neutral detergent and max 8-minute soak.

Care

Steam pleats at 95°C; iron at 110°C inside out with a cloth.

Ironing

Iron at 110°C max., inside out, with a pressing cloth.

Steaming

Refresh pleats with a steamer at 95°C, not an iron.

Care best practices for the organic cotton blend

• Hand washing in lukewarm water with a pH-neutral detergent — limiting soak time to 8 minutes to avoid weakening the fibers — and rolling the skirt in a towel to remove moisture without wringing preserves the pleats' crispness and the lining's integrity far better than even a delicate machine cycle.
• The 27% polyester content reduces the skirt's tendency to shrink and fade compared to pure cotton, making it more dimensionally stable even with home care — cotton-polyester blends are the workhorses of the laundry room specifically because they withstand machine cycles better, though hand washing remains the brand's directive for this piece to protect its satiny face.
• The deep front pleats and pin tucks can be refreshed after washing by gently reshaping them with your fingers while the skirt is damp and then, once fully dry, using a garment steamer at about 95°C held 15 cm away to reset the heat-formed creases — direct ironing would flatten the texture and reduce the architectural silhouette.
• The white variant stays bright by avoiding chlorine bleach entirely — the organic cotton and polyester shell lose brightness with harsh bleach — and by washing it only with other whites, as dye transfer from coloured garments can permanently tint the fine weave.
• The care label's 110°C iron limit is roughly 230°F, substantially below the 300°F often recommended for cotton-polyester, because the satiny finish and polyester content will develop irreversible shiny patches if overheated; always iron inside out with a pressing cloth to maintain the fabric's matte-sheen character.
• Paloma Wool's local Spanish production implies tighter quality control on seam finishes and pocket attachment; the skirt is engineered to survive many seasons of gentle washing, with the polyester content reinforcing stress points and the double thickness preventing the thin spots that cause premature wear.
• The skirt must be dried away from direct heat — laying it flat on a rack or towel after towel-rolling allows the double-thickness cotton layers to dry evenly without stretching the flared hem, while any tumble drying, even on low heat, can shrink the cotton and permanently distort the side zip and pleats.

Fit and length on different body types

• The body is woven from 73% organic cotton and 27% polyester with no elastane, and the closure is a hidden side zip, so the waistband has zero stretch — if your waist measurement sits between sizes, you'll need to commit to the larger size to avoid the zipper pulling or the pleats warping open.
• The skirt is fully lined in 100% cotton, which adds weight to the flared panels and keeps the semi-sheer outer from clinging — meaning the skirt moves as a single fluid piece, without catching on tights or bunching when you stride.
• Every stockist that has dressed a model in the Dimi skirt reports a true-to-size fit: a 5'8" model wears a 34, a 5'9.5" model wears a 36, and a 5'9" model wears an X-Small, confirming the skirt runs true to the brand's grading and won't require sizing up or down for the intended shape.

How the front pleats and pockets hold up

• The double-layer construction — two plies of the cotton-poly voile fused into one — gives the skirt enough weight and body to hold the front pleats open without collapsing, so the A-line silhouette stays crisp through sitting and the pleats are physically shielded from rumpling by the inherent stiffness of the doubled fabric.
• The pin tucks at the front stitch the pleat folds into the fabric, creating a permanent ridge that acts as a guide — because the stitch physically holds the fabric in a crease, the pleats always have a defined origin that makes them easy to press back into line, even after washing, without guesswork.
• With only two deep front pleats (plus back pleats), there are far fewer crease lines to distort compared to an all-over accordion or sunray skirt; if the pleats ever need refreshing, the job is limited to those few folds rather than re-aligning dozens of narrow ribs, making maintenance quick and forgiving.
• The 27% polyester content gives the fine cotton voile enough memory to bounce back from creasing more readily than 100% organic cotton, so the deep front pleats stay defined through a full day's wear and are less likely to set permanent wrinkles.

How the double-thickness fabric wears across seasons

• A separate 100% cotton voile lining doubles the skirt without adding weight, eliminates the outer fabric’s slight sheerness completely, and keeps the interior as smooth as the exterior so the skirt moves as a single fluid layer rather than a clingy or bulky lined garment.
• The skirt is cut from voile — an ultra-lightweight plain-weave fabric with a crisp hand — that gives the full midi silhouette its airy movement and breathability, keeping the garment cool and swingy even on hot days while maintaining a defined shape.
• The 27% polyester in the outer shell introduces a subtle satiny shine that lifts the skirt beyond a flat cotton basic, and imparts enough dimensional stability to the lightweight voile that it recovers from sitting creases more readily than a pure cotton version — a practical advantage for a crisp white design that would otherwise read every fold.
• Because both layers are cotton-based voile with an open, breathable structure, the skirt excels in heat and humidity, but the doubled fabric also provides a slight barrier against mild breezes — it layers cleanly with tights and a knit for cool evenings, extending its usefulness from late spring through early fall in most climates.
