Named after the poppy (coquelicot in French) the “Coquelicot skirt” is a flowy and adaptable skirt thanks to its adjustable waistband. This skirt was inspired by a vintage silhouette of the 1940’s and 50’s with a historical twist with its 18th century inspired pockets. Perfect for history-bounding!
View A has a sleeker silhouette with a 1/2 circle skirt design and a simple adjustable waistband using a D ring. View B has a full gathered circle skirt with a comfortable wide inner laced waistband. Both views have ties that tie up in the back, however these can be easily elongated to have them wrap around to tie around the front if desired.
