Mes Demoiselles Clooney Skirt, Beige

$429.00

French sizing. 36 is an AU 8, 38 an AU 10, 40 an AU 12. A guide.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

A pareo is a rectangle of cloth wrapped and tied. The Clooney keeps the wrap and adds a waistband, so nothing needs retying.

It is cut in airy viscose, khaki tie and dye over powder pink, to drape around the body. Viscose this light moves with every step and takes any breeze.

Khaki over pink keeps the tie and dye soft from a distance. For the walk up from a swim to lunch it goes on over a swimsuit. The waistband holds it where a pareo would need retying.

Mes Demoiselles is a Paris house and labels its pieces in one of two ways: in French sizes, 34 to 44, or in its own sizes 0, 1 and 2, each of which covers two French sizes. Australian sizes are the same as UK sizes, so read across to the UK column of the house chart. A French 36 is an AU 8 and a French 38 an AU 10. A house 0 is an AU 6 to 8, a 1 an AU 10 to 12 and a 2 an AU 14 to 16. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements. The French column is the size on most labels; pieces in house sizes are labelled 0, 1 or 2.

Choosing between two sizes

Mes Demoiselles publishes one chart for every style and no separate fit advice, so read your size from your measurements. A French number is two below the Australian one: a French 38 is an AU 10. Where a piece comes in house sizes, each covers two French sizes, so a 1 takes in both an AU 10 and an AU 12. Any style we know to run differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Chest: around the widest point of the chest and shoulder blades, arms hanging by your sides.
Waist: around the narrowest part of the waist, the tape snug but not tight.
Hip: around the widest point of the hips.

Caring for Mes Demoiselles

The care label sewn into each piece is the authority. On the house's cotton dresses it reads: hand wash only, do not tumble dry, iron gently.

Still not sure

We have handled these pieces and can tell you how a particular style sits against the chart. Write to us before you order, or come and try it in Red Hill. The full edit is in our Mes Demoiselles collection.

Cold gentle machine wash or hand wash. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat in the shade and cool iron.
