Matching our Daisy Top - we now present to you our corseted high waist skirt named Zinnia!
Zinnia is our corset-skirt with sewn-in boning accentuated by a flared skirt - such an elegant vintage classic!
Decide if you want to sew a classic rounded (+ lacing) corset waistband, a rounded-down style or the pointed-up style, for very different corset looks. Either way, Zinnia’s silhouette will always be truly flattering to accentuate your waist. As always, side seam pockets are included to add modern practicality.
Zinnia is also perfect for medieval or witchy halloween looks, with Version A being a laced corset style and version C being a pointed witchy design.
Try using contrasting fabric for the front middle panel, to accentuate this design feature even more!
