Skirt 101
Welcome to Kemi Telford. We are well known for our fabulous skirts. If this is your first time here and you are thinking of buying one of our skirts, here is the lowdown on the different skirt shapes that we sell. Hopefully, this will help you pick the right skirt for your body shape. Here we go.
Before we start, I should let you know that most of our skirts are one size but they come in different lengths. Our skirts have an elasticated waist and are mostly 28” around the waist but when extended, they can stretch up to approximately 50”.
Some skirts require you to measure your waist and hips - these are Vintage style skirts. Please take the time to do this as it will help you pick the right size.
These are our most popular skirts. They are absolutely beautiful and fit most body shapes. The fabrics of these skirts have been cut into 8 panels and then sewn together. They usually come in 40”, 38”, 35”, 33” and 28" lengths. They have two useable pockets, belt loops and matching belts.
These skirts are voluminous. If you like the print of an 8 panel skirt, but are concerned about the volume, why not go for one of our 2 panel skirts?
We also have the 8 Panel Hipster skirts aimed at plus size women.
