Vilora Skirt
Vilora is a semi-fitted wrap skirt with a straight silhouette. It features an asymmetrical horizontal design line below the hip on both the front and back panels. The back of the skirt has a center seam in the top section. The asymmetry of the skirt is emphasized by the angled edge on the right side and the longer hemline which extends from the center to the side seam. Vilora has a waistband with an elasticated section in the back. The left front waistband features a belt which fastens with a buckle and thus secures the waistband at the waist. The top of the waistband sits at the natural waistline. The skirt fastens with Velcro. Topstitching is featured along the center seam of the back panel, the asymmetrical design line, the front edge, and along the hem of the garment.
