{"product_id":"natural-linen-maxi-skirt-wide-structured-waistband","title":"Linen Maxi Skirt DOROTHEA — Natural, Structured Waistband","description":"\u003cp\u003eA floor-length linen maxi skirt in mint, built around a wide structured waistband that holds the silhouette in a clean vertical line from waist to hem. Nothing interrupts that line — no seams, no panels, no fuss. Made to order at the atelier in Bulgaria, it fits every size from XS to 4XL, with custom sizing at no extra cost. Free worldwide shipping is included. This is the skirt for slow summer days that still require you to look considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarah made the first version of this skirt because she wanted something that felt supportive without being architectural — fabric that carries you rather than constrains you. The wide structured waistband was the single decision everything else followed from. Once the waist had that quiet weight to it, the rest of the skirt could be completely simple: one long fall of linen, floor-length, uninterrupted. The natural linen maxi skirt wide waistband proportion is the whole point. It gives you a centre to move from. The mint colour came later, chosen because it reads as almost-neutral in outdoor light and stays cool to look at in the heat of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is 100% linen in a mint tone that sits closer to sage than blue. It has the slight texture characteristic of natural linen — not stiff, but with enough body to hold the silhouette without lining. The finished garment weighs approximately 500 g, which gives the skirt a satisfying drape without pulling at the waistband. After a few washes the hand softens further, and the colour settles into a slightly more muted version of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarah is 175 cm and wears size S in the photos. Between sizes? Send your measurements in the order notes — we'll cut to fit at no extra cost. The wide structured waistband sits at the natural waist and is designed to lie flat without gaping or rolling. The skirt falls straight from there, so hip room is generous across all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it with a simple linen camisole tucked in at the front, or layer with the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/asymmetric-womens-shirt\"\u003easymmetric women's shirt\u003c\/a\u003e left open. The \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/wide-linen-pants\"\u003ewide linen pants\u003c\/a\u003e share the same fabric weight if you want to build a full linen set across two pieces. Best occasions: a warm-weather wedding where the dress code is soft and you want to move freely, long-haul flights where you need a waistband that doesn't cut in, and slow market mornings where the outfit should do most of the work. If you want the same fabric in a separates set, the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/olive-linen-harem-trousers-elastic-waist-pockets\"\u003eolive linen harem trousers\u003c\/a\u003e build a head-to-toe linen look. For occasion dressing, the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/linen-pinafore-dress\"\u003elinen pinafore dress\u003c\/a\u003e is the dress-form alternative when you want the same drape without the waist division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Hang to dry rather than tumble — linen relaxes back into shape on the hanger. Iron on medium heat while the fabric is still slightly damp; this is when linen presses most easily and the waistband regains its structure. Do not bleach. The mint tone is stable but repeated hot washing will shift it over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a made-to-order piece take to ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery skirt is cut and sewn after you place your order. Production takes approximately 5–10 business days, after which your order ships from Bulgaria. Shipping times vary by destination, but most orders arrive within 7–14 days of dispatch. You'll receive a tracking number by email once it's on its way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I order in a custom size or with specific measurements?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and there's no extra charge for it. Add your measurements — waist, hips, and preferred length — in the order notes at checkout. Larah will cut the pattern to those numbers. If you're unsure what to measure, send a message before ordering and she'll guide you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy for made-to-order items?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each piece is made specifically for you, we cannot accept returns based on size, colour, or fabric preference. If something arrives damaged or with a construction fault, contact us within 7 days and we'll resolve it. When in doubt about fit or colour, message us before you order — we'd rather answer ten questions than have you receive something that doesn't work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the mint colour available in other fabric tones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe atelier works with a range of linen tones each season. Message Souls In Clothes through the shop before ordering if you'd like to know what's currently available — the colour offer changes and some tones are limited to current stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the linen shrink after washing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinen can shrink slightly on first wash, particularly in length. The atelier accounts for this during cutting, but washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle and hanging to dry (rather than tumble drying) keeps any further movement minimal. If you're ordering a custom length, it's worth mentioning in your notes that you'd like a little extra allowance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Souls In Clothes","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":52764200141147,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":52764200173915,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":52764200206683,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":52764200239451,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":52764200272219,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":52764200304987,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":52764200337755,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":52764200370523,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/1269\/9676\/files\/sic-natural-maxiskirt-overcast-front.png?v=1777152428","url":"https:\/\/soulsinclothes.com\/en-us\/products\/natural-linen-maxi-skirt-wide-structured-waistband","provider":"Souls In Clothes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
