Description
Blake is a semi-fitted, gently flared skirt boasting a straight silhouette. Its waist is elegantly finished with a facing, eliminating the need for a separate waistband. Waist darts adorn both the front and back, while centre seams lend sophistication. An invisible zipper and a meticulously finished slit grace the centre back seam. Side seam pockets offer convenience, and a free-hanging lining ensures a polished look. Blake falls gracefully to midi length.
