Product Insights
Contemporaine's Felted Wool Miniskirt at C$79 CAD is an in-stock wool-blend mini whose supple woven felt is milled until matted, double-sided to resist fraying and hold its A-line shape without bagging at seat or knee. Its core promise is a non-stretch, shape-memory felt skirt made wearable by a silky 100% recycled-polyester lining that is the full body-contact layer, so wool never touches bare legs; the slick lining lets the skirt slide over tights, prevents cling and ride-up, and makes on/off easy. The slightly flared A-line cut supplies ease for sitting and walking despite minimal-to-no stretch, preserving the original 1960s gamine, couture-rooted mini silhouette; wool reads office-appropriate, dressier than denim and less edgy than suede, with lasting demand documented by a 1968 shopper campaign. The 18.5-inch hem lands mid-thigh on 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6 frames and higher on taller wearers, size 4 hitting mid-thigh on average heights and upper thigh on taller wearers. All 24 colour-size combinations are in stock, every colour spans the full size 2–16 run, and flat C$79 pricing applies across colours and sizes with no larger-size premium, so upsizing or switching colour costs nothing. Main tradeoff: the wool-forward blend gives a soft, warm hand rather than a firm structural grade, and the felt's minimal stretch means movement depends on the flared cut rather than fabric give.
Verified claims
- Felt fabrication
- Supple, double-sided wool-blend felt with a silky lining, labeled 'Wool blend, silky lining' — garment-grade felt, not stiff craft felt.
- Felt construction
- Double-sided felt resists fraying, holds its shape, and prevents bagging.
- Lining
- A fine, silky 100% recycled-polyester lining sits against legs and tights — smooth to pull on and resists clinging or riding up.
- Fit and movement
- The semi-fitted, slightly flared cut and shape-memory felt allow comfortable movement and prevent bagging.
- Shape retention
- A-line silhouette is maintained with no bagging at seat or knee.
- Stretch
- The felted wool has minimal to no stretch, so the slightly flared cut provides ease of movement when sitting or walking.
- Length
- The straight above-the-knee hem is 18.5 inches (47 cm) in size 4; it sits mid-thigh on a 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6 frame and higher on taller wearers.
- Comfort
- Silky lining is the full body-contact layer, so wool never touches bare legs
- Dressing ease
- A silky lining and single hidden back zip let the non-stretch felted wool slip on and off smoothly without catching.
- Ride-up prevention
- The silky recycled-polyester lining stops the mini gripping and climbing up over tights.
- Wool blend
- Wool-blend felt gives a soft, warm hand rather than a firm structural grade.
- Hem placement
- Size-4 hem lands mid-thigh on average heights, upper thigh on taller wearers.
- Variant coverage
- All 24 colour-size combinations are in stock; each colour spans the full 2-16 size run.
- Flat pricing
- All 24 colour and size options are the same C$79, so upsizing or switching colour costs nothing.
- Size and colour range
- All three colours carry the full size 2–16 run, so no size is locked to one colour.
- Care
- Dry clean only — do not hand wash; water and agitation can mat the felted wool and distort the skirt's shape.
- Season
- The wool-blend felt is best suited to fall and early winter wear.
- Style and mood
- The plain, clean A-line design is meant as a timeless, elegant staple, consistent with the brand's stated simplicity, versatility, and elegance.

Compared within this brand.
| Felted Wool Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a Canadian-designed, natural-waist mini in a supple double-sided felt of 50% wool and 50% polyester, with a slightly flared A-line silhouette, a fine silky recycled-polyester lining, and a hidden back zip. The hem falls above the knee (18.5 inches in size 4), with no front pockets or fasteners and a clean, narrow waistband. It comes in Grey, Honey/Camel, and Mossy Green in sizes 2 through 16, though the color and size selection reflect the saved listing data and current availability is not established.[1,2,3] | Elastic Waistband Flared Skirt: Choose this if you want an easy, pull-on skirt for everyday wear: it has a gathered elastic waistband, an A-line fit-and-flare shape with slant pockets, and flowy heavyweight fabric made of 93% Livaeco par Birla Cellulose viscose and 7% polyester. It sits at the natural waist and falls to just above the knee (23 inches, or 59 cm, in size small), and it comes in Black and Green in sizes from XX-SMALL to X-LARGE, though the unlined fabric means you may want a slip depending on the season.[4,5,6] | Crossover Linen-Cotton Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a breathable, lightweight miniskirt in an organic linen-cotton blend (55% linen, 45% cotton) with a structured twill that has a subtle sheen and a fine silky lining. It suits shoppers drawn to a high-waist A-line silhouette with a wraparound crossover front secured by a single button, a hidden back zip, and an 18 inch (46 cm) length that falls above the knees. Note that it has no visible pockets and comes in only two colorways, Black and Royal/Sapphire Blue, in sizes X-SMALL to X-LARGE.[7,8,9,10] |
