Most suede skirts stand away from the body. The Noormie falls. The reason is the skin it is cut from.

Second Female made it in goat suede. Goatskin is lighter and finer than cowhide, with a shorter, tighter nap, so the suede drapes where a heavier hide would hold its shape like a board. It is soft in the hand before it has been worn at all.

Chocolate plum is brown with red underneath it. It sits against black in winter and against cream in spring. Suede holds a mark from the first week and a brush lifts the nap again, which is how it comes to look like yours.

For a winter lunch at a cellar door, goat suede is the light skin to choose. It sits through a long table and falls straight again when you stand.

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements.

Choosing between two sizes

Most Second Female styles are true to size. Fitted styles and structured fabrics are the exception, and there the house recommends the larger size. Relaxed shapes and knits with give can take the smaller one. Blazers and jackets want a little room across the shoulders and bust. Any style that runs differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.
Inseam: from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.

Caring for Second Female

Wool, alpaca and mohair knits: hand wash, or a gentle wool cycle with wool detergent. Dry flat. Store folded, never on a hanger.

Leather: wipe with a damp cloth. Condition regularly so it does not dry out. Keep it away from heat and direct sun.

Cotton: wash cold and gently. Air dry to keep the shape and avoid shrinkage.

Denim: wash sparingly and inside out to protect the colour. Air dry.

For every other fabric, follow the care label sewn into the piece.
