Aqueous Skirt

The Aqueous is a heavy, fluid, unique, knee-length skirt with large hip pockets and belt loops. The name refers to its smoothly-flowing drape and swirling seamlines.

Made in the USA of imported fabric.

Style

• Two large hip pockets
• Distinctive spiralling seams
• Heavy-weight, for stable pockets and better privacy
• A fluid, natural drape—despite the weight
• Belt loops (6)
• Colors: Grey, Purple, Black

Materials

• Main fabric: 6-ounce plain weave
  • Linen gives it a natural texture and durability
  • Rayon gives it excellent drape and prevents wrinkles
  • Plain weave is the simplest of weaves: a simple over-under pattern that produces a strong fabric that's the same on each side. Contrast with twill, the weave that produces diagonal lines and is used in denim (and our Unaligned Skirt).
  • About half the weight of jeans denim
  • 55% linen, 45% rayon
• Lining: 11-ounce ponte di roma
  • Ponte di Roma is a style of knit that's smooth and stable (less stretchy) compared to other knits
  • At 11 ounces per square yard, it's quite weighty
  • The unexpectedly fluid drape of this heavy fabric is due to the rayon content and the ponte knit style
  • 67% rayon, 28% nylon, 5% spandex
• Side zipper: YKK nylon coil
• Closure: metal hook-and-bar

Note: A few customers have reported the hook-and-bar starting to pull free from the fabric around it over time. We now consider it to be a construction flaw; the area should have been better reinforced. We do not have a fix, unfortunately. Wearing a belt to hold more of the tension of the waistband helps to prevent it.
