Tiered Skirts for Older Girls
Tiered skirts are made from bands of fabric sewn one below the other, each a little fuller than the last, so the skirt swings as she walks. MINOTI tiered skirts for older girls cover ages 8 to 15 and suit school holidays, parties and weekends. Pair one with a tucked-in T-shirt in summer. Once the weather turns, add tights and a jumper.
Go by her height rather than her age. An 8-year-old usually takes 134 cm, a 12-year-old 158 cm and a 14-year-old 170 cm. If she is between sizes, the larger one leaves room to grow and simply sits a little lower on the leg. Fabric and care details vary from style to style, so check the product page and the care label on each skirt. For straighter or pleated shapes, see Skirts.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's tiered skirts for older girls are full, gathered skirts made from layered tiers for ages 8 to 15 in centimetre sizes, and a 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm.
What size tiered skirt does a 10-year-old need?
A 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm. If she is tall for her age or between sizes, 152 cm gives a little more length and time to grow into it.
What can you wear with a tiered skirt in winter?
Add opaque tights and a jumper once it drops below about 15°C. Tuck a fine knit in at the waist, or let a chunkier jumper sit over the top tier. Ankle boots or trainers both work.
