Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Panther Ruched Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a fitted, high-waisted black miniskirt with an architectural silhouette — a left-front ruched gather creates a high asymmetric slit, and the merchant describes the movement as adding a dramatic touch to every step. It is made in Italy from 100 percent cotton poplin the merchant sources from regenerative agriculture, with fine embroidered orb-logo detailing at the front and a 55 cm (21.75 inch) length measured on the size 40. Note that the short cut and slit expose the upper left thigh, and visible creasing appears where the fabric gathers and at the slit edge; it is offered in sizes 36 through 46, each in Black only.[1,2,3,4] | Crotch 45 Striped Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a high-waisted, slightly A-line striped miniskirt that sits at the natural waist and falls to a straight hem above the knees (16.5 inches / 42 cm long). It features narrow vertical light-blue and white stripes with a contrasting horizontal striped waistband, a hidden side zip with a button, and a cotton-rich main fabric (72% cotton with spandex for stretch) plus a viscose-blend lining. It is made in Italy and offered in sizes 40, 42, 44, and 46, based on the scraped size list.[5,6,7] |
