Product Insights
The Orange Floral Sequin Maxi Skirt from Twik, an exclusive Simons house brand designed in Canada with 1960s Twiggy inspiration, is priced at C$150, positioned between fast-fashion and luxury alternatives. Its 94 cm length, 4-10 cm shorter than competing maxis, includes a long side slit from mid-thigh to hem that enables unrestricted movement for walking, dancing, and stairs—a rare feature at this price point. The 100% polyester chiffon overlay drapes fluidly and diffuses light while sequins reflect for a shifting shimmer, though the overlay is semi-sheer, requiring a slip for full coverage. Care involves dry cleaning or spot cleaning, storing on a padded hanger to prevent creases, and air drying in the shade. The side slit not only frees the legs but also reveals the leg and makes sequins shimmer in motion, creating visual elongation and a competitive edge among sequin maxi skirts at this price.

- Length
94 cm waist-to-hem is 4-10 cm shorter than competing maxis, fitting 5'2–5'4 without hemming.
Why this is supported
At 94 cm, the Twik maxi skirt is shorter than the Princess Polly Emalia sequin maxi, which measures 98–104 cm.
Length of size US 2 / AU 6 / UK 6 waist to hem: 98cm / 38.5in
princesspolly.com.auThis means that for a petite wearer (5'2"–5'4"), the 94 cm length typically hits at the ankle without requiring hemming — an important advantage because altering a sequin-embellished garment is difficult and risks damaging the beadwork.
- Side slit
Long side slit from mid-thigh to hem prevents restriction and creates visual elongation.
Why this is supported
The skirt includes a long side slit that opens from mid-thigh to the hem. This design prevents the skirt from restricting stride, allowing full leg movement. On a petite frame, the vertical line of exposed skin also creates a visual elongation effect, making the wearer appear taller.
- Sheerness
The chiffon overlay is semi-sheer; a slip is recommended for full coverage.
Why this is supported
The brand states:
The lining should provide sufficient opacity, but we recommend wearing a slip if you prefer extra coverage.
Is the chiffon lining opaque enough to not require an additional slip?The chiffon outer layer is very lightweight, described as

giving the skirt a more fluid hang that moves with the body rather than holding a stiff, structured shape.
