Zara Skirt | Groundbreaking
Zara is a midi length 3/4 circle skirt, with a wide waistband, and inseam pockets.
The fabric is an organic soft and drapey cotton sateen, that falls beautifully.
Groundbreaking is a cute floral print on a yellow background, just perfect for spring.
Zara has a stiff waistband, to help keep its shape and prevent rolling. However this means that there is not much give. Zara also runs small. Please check the size guide before ordering.
Please note, Zara has an accessibility issue. The zips on Tami are only 7 in / 18 cm, so will most likely need to be put on over your head, not stepped into.
