Learn how to fit and style the Poplin Garter Skort from Fleur du Mal, with step-by-step advice on sizing, outfit pairings, and care.

Quick Answer

The Poplin Garter Skort fits true to size with a flattering high waist, and its built-in shorts let you style it from brunch to bar with the matching Poplin Bib Top or Hampton Poplin Bustier.

Why the Poplin Garter Skort Stands Out

Made from lightweight European cotton with a touch of stretch, this skort combines the look of a garter belt skirt with the practicality of built-in shorts. The functional front buttons let you adjust the reveal, making it versatile for day or night.

The garter seam details create a flattering silhouette, but the real trick is in the fit: the high waist and stretch fabric accommodate a range of body shapes without sagging. Just note that the model is 5'11", so if you're shorter, the skort may fall longer on you.

Care Considerations

The fabric blend (74% Cotton, 24% Nylon, 2% Elastane) requires gentle handling. Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Cool iron if needed. Skipping these steps can shrink the cotton or damage the elastic, so plan your care routine from day one.

How to Fit and Style the Poplin Garter Skort

  1. Find Your Size: Measure your natural waist and hips, then compare to the size chart. The high waist means the waistband sits at your narrowest point. If you're between sizes, size up for a relaxed fit or down for a snugger hold. A too-tight waistband will gap at the back; a too-loose one will slide down.
  2. Check the Built-in Shorts: The shorts are attached and have a comfortable leg opening. Sit, bend, and walk in front of a mirror to ensure the shorts don't ride up. If they do, the skort may be too small in the hips. The shorts should stay in place without digging in—adjust the front buttons for more or less coverage.
  3. Style for Day: Pair with the matching Poplin Bib Top or a simple white tee and sneakers for a brunch-ready look. The lightweight cotton keeps you cool, and the garter details add a subtle edge. Avoid bulky tops that hide the waistband—tuck or crop to show the garter seams.
  4. Style for Evening: Swap to the Hampton Poplin Bustier and heeled sandals for a bar or dinner outfit. The functional front buttons let you flash a hint of the shorts for a playful, risqué touch. Test the button closure before going out—it should stay fastened during movement.
  5. Care After Wearing: Hand wash cold or dry clean, then lay flat to dry. Never wring or tumble dry, as the cotton-nylon blend can lose shape. Cool iron if needed, avoiding the buttons. One machine wash can shrink the cotton—stick to the care label for longevity.
