A pleated midi skirt designed for structure, volume and everyday wear.

Devon is a relaxed midi skirt that combines clean lines with thoughtful construction.

Design Features

Sitting at the natural waist, it features 8 inverted box pleats at the front and 8 at the back. The pleats create volume while maintaining a controlled, balanced silhouette.

Italian pockets are set into the front for a clean finish, combining practicality with a tailored look. The elasticated waistband makes the skirt easy to wear while keeping it polished.

The skirt can be constructed with three different seam finishes depending on your fabric and preference: overlocked seams, bias-bound seams, or fully enclosed seams.

Suggested Fabrics

Lightweight woven fabrics with body such as cotton poplin, chambray, linen, linen blends, or lightweight wool suiting.

Avoid fabrics that are too drapey or stretchy. The pleats hold their shape better in crisp fabrics.

Sizing

Available in sizes 34–60. Drafted for a height of 5'5" / 1m65.

If your hip measurement falls in a larger size than your waist, check that the finished waist measurement without elastic is larger than your hips. The waistband must pass over the hips when dressing, so size up if needed.

Sizing

I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.

If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.

See the sizing page for more information.
