    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabrics for the different elements of your two-piece with our team before placing your order

    Please note: you will need to add a lining if you are adding bound pockets

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabric for gathered, puff or 3/4 length versions of sleeves before you place your order

    Please note: sleeveless garments with attached shoulder ties will mean that the garment opens completely at the shoulder when untied. Garments with sleeves with attached shoulder ties will mean that the shoulder ties are purely decorative

    This bow is decorative not functional

    Bow tie fastenings are functional not just decorative

    A 2-3" modesty panel sewn behind the bows to bridge any gaps created through movement when the garment is worn

    'Full gather' is our classic skirt fit for this dress type. ‘Minimal gather’ is less gathered fabric along the waistline and less volume in the skirt

    Choose between our classic straight hem skirt or our asymmetrical skirt hem style

    With a hi-low asymmetrical skirt hem the back is longer than the front (up to 30cm/12" max difference). Please select the length which applies to how long you want the back length of your skirt to be

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC + PLACE YOUR ORDER:

How to choose your fabric + place your order:

1. Choose your fabric by heading to our instagram fabric gallery 

Each fabric has a reference number & details of which of our designs + sizes it is suitable for. Comment on the instagram post or email us via info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk to reserve it – we generally only have enough of each fabric for 1-2 garments so this step is really important!

2. Place your order here – double-check you have the correct garment type.

Your fabric reservation lasts for 72 hours so please place your order during this time otherwise the fabric will become available to other customers.

Important: make sure to write your size, sleeve preference + fabric reference number in the order notes when you are entering your payment details.

3. Sit back, make a cup of tea + get excited about your one of a kind garment!

GARMENT DETAILS:

With a comfortable figure-hugging cut, the high-waisted gathered skirt finishes just below the knee.

Handmade from scratch in your choice of fabric the skirt fastens with a side popper and side zip fastening.

WAYS TO WEAR:

This crop top + gathered skirt set is a versatile wardrobe addition offering three outfits in one:

Wear the whole two-piece with your favourite shoes for outfit number 1

Style the crop top with high waisted jeans or a skirt for outfit number 2.

Pair the skirt with a black top or plain white shirt + ankle boots or heels for a casual look for outfit number 3.

Two-pieces are for all year round: when the temperature drops add boots, high socks & some cosy cashmere to the whole ensemble.

Feel good fashion! This crop-top & high-waisted gathered skirt will be created by our small team in our Brighton studio for a living wage. Every piece we make is totally unique and will not be reproduced.

  1. Verified owner Cathy (verified owner)

    One of my first garments 4 years ago was a two piece gathered skirt and top. I went with side pockets, a top with gathered short sleeves. Simple! In a lovely daisy picture print. It’s such a classic and the quality phenomenal. It has held up in SO MANY WASHES. I love how I can wear them both for a classic tea dress look or mix and match them. Perfect for summer holiday packing versatility ♥️🥰

  2. Verified owner Kelly Mc (verified owner)

    I chose an interesting print for my 2 piece and everyone was so helpful about the positioning of the border stripes. I tend to wear the pieces separately but together they make an elegant dress for summer dinners or weddings. It came out perfectly and I am so pleased!
