Esme feels like a sweater and looks like a party skirt. The black knit is soft and stretchy, and fine knitted pleats fan out from a wide, smooth waistband into a flared shape.

The viscose-blend knit has a gentle stretch, so there is no zip or button to deal with. It is an all-season piece, with tights in winter and bare legs on warmer days.

Questions parents ask

Does the Esme skirt have a zipper?

No, the wide knit waistband stretches, so it simply pulls on.

How does the knit feel?

Soft and smooth with a little give, similar to a fine sweater.

Is the crochet vest part of the order?

The vest from the photos is a separate item, so add it on its own if you would like it.
