Faux suede skater mini with zip in caramel
$37.79
Check price & buyThe same faux suede idea as the belted midi, taken shorter and without the belt. A fitted bodice runs into a flared skater skirt that cinches at the waist and skims the hips, with a clean round neckline above and a zip to close it. Five shades, all on the warm side: army green, caramel, burgundy, coffee and chocolate. Of the two suede models here, this is the better rated.

Reading the faux suede skater mini with zip
one
Skater skirt instead of a straight line
The skirt is cut full and short, so it stands away from the hip rather than following it. On a matte suede-look fabric that volume holds its shape better than it would in a drapey cloth.
two
Five shades of autumn
Army green, caramel, burgundy, coffee and chocolate: no brights, no pastels anywhere in the run. The range is narrow on purpose and reads as one seasonal family rather than a colour menu.
three
Zip closure on a sleeveless cut
A zip means the bodice can be cut close without relying on stretch to get in and out. That is why it fits through the ribcage in a way the pull-on smocked dresses elsewhere in this catalogue do not.
A zip buys a closer bodice than any amount of elastic can.
Same model, other colours
Fit, honestly
Small (US 4 to 6) to X-Large (US 16 to 18). Fitted through the bodice, released at the waist; the listing calls the hem knee length on a mini-cut A-line, so expect it to land close to the knee rather than well above it.
- Faux suede with a matte, velvety finish.
- Round neckline, sleeveless, zip closure.
- Fitted bodice with a flared skater skirt.
- Five shades, sizes S to XL.
