Marie Stopes Women's Skirt Swallowtail Needlecord with Swedish Blue Hand Smocking
The Marie Stopes Skirt for Women in Control. Named after the founder of the first birth control clinic for women comes this hand smocked needlecord beauty. Made of a rich navy needlecord, the skirt features a deep hand smocked waistband emblazoned with our stacked lattice smocking design in beautiful tonal threads of Swedish Blue. Gently elasticated on the inside, the high waist gently hugs the hips for a super flattering smooth fit, framing the tiered skirt full of swish complete with pockets. Pair with one of our Scholl blouses for a statement look or combine with a merino polo neck for a sculptural silhouette to take you through the Winter.

Due the way our hand smocked pieces are pleated and sewn, our clothes offer a very versatile fit - there is natural stretch in all hand pleated smocks. For this reason we offer fewer, bridge sizes. This means more room for growth and less waste.
Below you will find measurements for our Girls' and Women's Sizes. Please note that as our pieces are made by hand, there will be natural variation between pieces so the measurements below are approximate. If you have any questions, do come and talk to us hello@smocklondon.com.
All measurements in centimetres.
Kids Sizing

Kid's Fit
In general our girl's fit is “Classic British” meaning dresses are designed to hit just below the knee and blouses sit at the lower waist level. At the beginning of the age range dresses will reach to mid calf; at the upper end of the range they will hit above the knee.
Most of our styles will comfortably fit your child beyond the age range specified: elasticated sleeves, tie straps and sashes allow you get as much as possible from each outfit. Better for you and better for the planet.
