DROOPY & BROWNS Blue Ruffle High Waist Skirt

£55.00

1 in stock

An utterly joyful early Droopy & Browns full skirt in the richest electric cobalt blue, cut in a dramatically sweeping silhouette with layered waterfall ruffles and a softly crinkled matte finish that moves beautifully with the body. This is exactly the kind of piece that made Droopy & Browns such a beloved label during the 1980s: romantic, theatrical and playful, but still surprisingly easy to wear now.

The high waisted cut creates a wonderfully flattering shape, while the asymmetric ruffle detailing gives the skirt incredible movement and volume. The fabric has a soft matte appearance rather than a high shine finish, giving the bold colour a slightly more understated feel and making it incredibly easy to style for daytime wear. Paired simply with a white T-shirt, trainers and oversized sunglasses, it suddenly feels modern again.

A genuinely fun statement vintage piece that does all the work for you.

Please note this skirt is labelled a UK 12, however vintage sizing runs considerably smaller. It was photographed on a UK 10 mannequin with a 28″ waist and the waistband could not be fully fastened, so would best suit a contemporary UK 8 or small UK 10 depending on desired fit.
