Girls' Tiered Skirts
A girls' tiered skirt is made from horizontal bands of fabric, each one gathered onto the last, so the skirt gets fuller towards the hem. That shape gives it swing and room to move, which suits playtime, parties and days out. MINOTI makes them for girls from newborn to age 15. Pair one with a vest and tights for babies, or a T-shirt and cardigan for older girls, and switch to bare legs and sandals in summer.
Some shops call this style a ruffle skirt. When you shop for a girls' tiered skirt online, go by her height rather than her age: a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and an 8-year-old 134 cm. Lighter fabrics suit summer with sandals, and heavier ones sit well over tights in winter. Before you buy a girls' tiered skirt, check the care label; hang it to dry and smooth each tier by hand so the gathers fall evenly.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's girls' tiered skirts are made from gathered tiers of fabric for girls aged 0 to 15 in centimetre sizes, with a 10-year-old usually taking 146 cm.
What size girls' tiered skirt should I buy for a 7-year-old?
Most 7-year-olds take 128 cm. Measure her height in bare feet and pick the size closest to it, or go up one to 134 cm if she is tall for her age, for longer wear.
What is the best girls' tiered skirt for a baby or toddler?
The best one fits her length now with a little room to grow. A 9-month-old usually takes 80 cm and a 2-year-old 98 cm. Check the product page for the waistband style, as a soft elasticated waist sits best over a nappy.
