The Zero Waste Ocean Skirt is for the occasions you want to feel a little more special, and for the days you simply want to feel good. Gathered and full, with enough structure to hold its shape, it dresses up for the theatre, a show or a fancy dinner, then takes you lightly through a summer day, lunch with friends or cocktails at sunset. When the weather turns stormy, wrap up in a warm orange top, a cosy jumper and boots, and it will hold its own against the grey.
The abstract watercolour print runs from pale grey blue through aqua and sea green, with deeper blues and greens, a hint of orange and fuchsia pink and small strokes of black, a little like the reflection of the setting sun on the water. It gives the skirt depth, light and shadow, and a story to tell.
The gathered shape is inspired by 1940s peasant skirts, with a wide waistband that sits close at the waist. Deep side pockets hold your phone, keys and a pouch with your lippy and a hanky, so you can leave the big bag at home. French seams make the inside as beautiful as the outside and strong enough to last for years, and a deep hem gives the skirt its weight. A side opening with natural corozo buttons keeps it neat, and the whole skirt is cut from a single piece of certified organic cotton poplin, printed with water based pigment inks, so nothing goes to waste.
The Ocean Skirt has a close fit at the waist. Check the size guide below, or message me and I'll help you choose.

Sustainability
Zero Waste Design: Zero waste starts with design. Our zero waste designs work by creating patterns that fit into one piece of fabric, incorporating all the parts of the fabric into the finished piece—be it binding or a decorative element. This extends to garment construction, using techniques like French seams not only for their quality finish, but also to reduce the extra threads needed for an overlocked seam. Print-to-order fabric reduces fabric waste for both us and our supplier.
Natural Materials: Made from organic cotton, a natural fibre that is biodegradable. While not yet certified compostable, we're following research into fabric composting standards.
Made in Australia: Garment handcrafted in our Melbourne studio
Ethical Production: Ethical Clothing Australia accredited
Circularity: When you're finished with this piece, pass it on to a loved one, take it to a clothes swap, or donate for resale. As a mono-fibre fabric, it can be mechanically recycled at end-of-life once buttons and labels are removed.
Free shipping on orders over $250 and $10 flat rate within Australia and New Zealand.

Beautiful skirt.
Jo Was very accommodating to all my questions as I'm tall and was worried about the length.
Thank you so much Sharon. It was so lovely making this skirt for you and giving it a little twist to make it an original for you. I hope your day was wonderful. Jo
