Description
A faux leather mini skirt you pull on
Most skirts with this kind of shine come with a zip and a stiff waistband. This faux leather mini skirt by Tessita has an elastic waist instead. You pull it on, it gathers softly at the top and falls into a short trapeze shape.
It is 38 cm long in every size and comes in black, grey and beige, in sizes S to XXL.

The piece: a trapeze skirt by Tessita
Tessita sells its clothes through a fashion wholesaler in Poland, and the facts on this page come from that wholesaler's data. The description is three sentences long. A trapeze skirt in faux leather. Gently gathered at the waist with an elastic band. Decorative stitching at the centre front and back.
The photos match. A line of stitching runs down the middle of the front and again down the back, and it is the only detail on the skirt. All three colours are available from the supplier today.
Who it's for
For you if you like a smooth, shiny skirt and dislike a waistband that digs in after lunch. The elastic moves with you, and the size table runs up to XXL with a waist of 100 cm.
It is a short skirt. At 38 cm it ends at the upper thigh on the model, so it suits you if you like your skirts with tights or boots, or bare legs in summer.
Closer look: what the maker states and what the photos show
- Trapeze cut in faux leather (maker's data)
- Elastic band at the waist, gently gathered (maker's data)
- Decorative stitching at the centre front and back (maker's data and photos)
- The black version has a sheen; the grey and beige look matte (photos)
- Ends at the upper thigh on the model, 38 cm long (photos and size table)
The maker does not mention a lining, pockets or a zip, and the photos show none. Ask us before you order if you want us to check one of these with the supplier.
Material and feel: faux leather, no percentages given
The maker names the material as faux leather and stops there. The data we receive has no composition table for this skirt, so we cannot tell you what the backing is made of. The sewn-in label will.
What you can judge from the photos is the surface. In black it has a clear shine. In grey and beige the surface is much more even, closer to a soft matte finish. If you want the glossy version, black is the one.
Fit and silhouette: easy at the waist, wider at the hem
A trapeze cut is narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, like the letter A. Here the difference is modest: the skirt skims the hips and stands a little away from the thighs.
The maker's table gives a waist of 76 cm in S, 82 cm in M, 88 cm in L, 94 cm in XL and 100 cm in XXL, with hips from 92 cm to 116 cm. The table does not say whether the waist was measured relaxed or stretched. Since the band is elastic, we would choose by the hip measurement and let the waist take care of itself.

Styling: one tough piece, the rest soft
The photos pair each colour with a bright sleeveless top that ties at the neck: red with black, pink with grey, green with beige. It shows how well a shiny or smooth skirt takes colour.
For autumn, tuck in a chunky knit and add black tights and ankle boots. The black skirt with a white shirt and loafers is good for a relaxed office. The beige one looks fresh with a striped top and white trainers.
Occasions
Wear it for drinks on Friday, a concert or a birthday. The elastic waist also makes it a good skirt for long days when you sit a lot, such as a train trip to a city weekend. For a formal office the length is probably too short.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so go by the label sewn into the skirt. Faux leather in general dislikes heat. Keep it away from a hot press and the radiator, and wipe small marks off with a damp cloth before you reach for the washing machine.
The wow detail: one seam down the middle
The stitched line down the centre front is easy to miss in black and clear in grey and beige. It splits the skirt into two panels and gives a soft, gathered shape something straight to hold on to. The same line returns on the back.
