CHARME
This rather short skirt is composed of 2 layered elements, assembled on a wide V-shaped waistband on the back and front. For a very minimalist version, you will use the underneath skirt which is flared, simple and symmetrical. For a more romantic garment, add the top skirt which is gathered and asymmetrical. The skirt is closed on the left side with an invisible zip and a fastener.
