Why it's worth it
White embroidery stitched by hand into every pleat — the skirt's detail is only visible up close.
The Edit
Hand-embroidered contrast stitching runs the length of each pleat in this heavyweight merino wool midi, giving visible seam structure to what could have been a clean silhouette. The high fitted waist holds the pleats stitched flat before releasing into full volume — no lining, the wool doing all the architectural work. Midi length lands just below the knee, keeping the proportion sharp against loafers or ankle boots.
