Description
This black cotton Piccadilly skirt features a straightforward design that can be worn either long or gathered up with the double ruche, allowing the wearer to adjust the silhouette to suit different needs or activities. The bottom edge is reinforced with a broad band of black cotton velvet, adding strength to the hem and a subtle contrast in texture, followed by a smooth black satin trim that helps the skirt fall evenly and maintain its shape. The waistline is fastened securely with heavy-duty hook & eye closures and snap buttons, providing a firm fit that holds up well during movement. Traditionally, such skirts were often paired with layered overskirts or corsets, and accessories like lace shawls and hair rosettes completed the ensemble.
Fun fact: The Piccadilly skirt is named after the lively Piccadilly district in London, which since the 17th century has been a hub of commerce and fashion, where working women and travelers favored this style for its practicality and ease of wear.
