Size guide
Skirt No. 2 has a relaxed fit, but it's important that the waistband sits tight. The skirt is designed to sit just below the navel. Choose the size with a waist measurement closest to your own waist (or the spot on your stomach where you want the waistband to sit).
Sizes 0–9 cover waist measurements from 60–120 cm [23.5-47.25 inches]. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one, as the textured stitch pattern is very stretchy.
Example: You measure 70 cm [27.5 inches] around your waist/stomach. So you should make size S with a waist circumference of 69 cm [27.25 inches].
The model is wearing size 1.
