Gothic Plus Size Skirts

Gothic plus size skirts are the same cuts as the rest of the range, made in an extended size run from XL up to 5XL. Most styles have an elastic or laced waistband, which matters more on a skirt than on any other garment.

Plus size maxi skirts

A plus size maxi skirt falls to the ankle and is the most forgiving cut in the collection, because the width is carried by the fabric rather than by the fit at the hip. Look for a slightly flared shape rather than a straight column, and check the total length against your height, since a maxi skirt that drags loses its line. Lace panels, tulle layers and lace-up sides are the usual gothic detailing at this length.

Plus size mini skirts

A plus size mini skirt sits at or just above the knee and works with tights, over-the-knee socks and heavy boots. Pleated versions in eco-leather and versions with buckles or chains are the two most common styles. Because the length is short, the waistband does the work, so an elastic or corset-laced waist fits a wider range of shapes than a plain zip.

How to choose your size

Skirt sizing runs off the waist and hip measurement, not the dress size, so compare both against the table on the product page. If you fall between sizes, an elastic or laced waistband covers several centimetres and the larger size fits better than the smaller one at full stretch. Every product page lists waist, hip and total length in centimetres.

More extended sizes across dresses, corsets and tops sit in gothic plus size clothing, and the full range of lengths in standard sizing is in gothic skirts.
