Embrace effortless elegance with the Astell Skirt! This bias-cut beauty hits just below the knee with a graceful flow that moves with you, while the internal elastic waistband ensures all-day comfort without compromising on style. Back darts add shaping, and an optional side zipper to make getting dressed a breeze, no matter your shape. 

Style it tone-on-tone with luxe knitwear for an on-trend look, or pair it with a classic tee and sneakers for dressed-up chic. Choose flowing fabrics like silk, satin, or rayon to let the bias cut truly shine, creating movement and dimension that skims rather than clings. Because bias-cut brilliance deserves a place in every wardrobe!

  • A sizing calculator which will tell you exactly which size to make
  • A free step-by-step video sewalong that you can watch anytime
