Banksii Petticoat with Vintage silk ruffle

This vintage silk petticoat is 100% Australian Made

The Banksii Petticoat is an awesome garment to have in your wardrobe. The slim bias cut main part of the skirt sits against your body then it flutes out at the hem with the 3m long ruffle made from our Vintage silk fabric (from 20 years ago). The ruffle fabric is Silk Dupion and it's decorated with strips of bias cut cotton that is stitched and overlaid in circles. The waist of the Banksii is simply elasticated with 20mm elastic, keeping it smooth under the top layers. 

Layering this petticoat skirt under dresses, tunics or longer tops will create a special outfit, especially because the ruffle moves as you walk. We layered it under the matching Synthesis pieces but it looks great also underneath one of the Osmosis long tops, or the Cupro version of the Sunlight top, with or without the Converge Corset, as shown in the images from our photoshoot. 

This style is limited edition due to the vintage fabric. These will be all made to order so we use the precious fabric in the sizes people are wanting. To assist with working out what option will work for you, please read the details below. If you require more assistance please contact us.
The size medium shown here is 96cm from top edge to the hem. The length can vary with bias cut depending on how tight it is. If it's more fitted the fabric will give sideways therefore shortening the overall length. When I put on this size M, it measures a total length of 89cm, 7cm shorter. 
I am offering the Banksii Petticoat in S/M/L in two length options, the longer one as shown here, approx 89cm from waist to hem when on a body, or 10cm shorter which should end up approx 79cm total length. I have made a chart below as a guide.

Size S (short) 78cm   Size S (long) 88cm
Size M (short) 79cm   Size M (long) 89cm
Size L (short) 80cm   Size L (long) 90cm

The Banksii Petticoat was designed to layer under the Synthesis Skirt or the Synthesis Wrap to complete that statement look for a special occasion. If you purchase the Banksii with either of the Synthesis pieces a 10% discount will be applied automatically to both items at the checkout.

This style is prewashed in rainwater at our home studio.
