Cutout Waist Maxi

$175 USD

Two waist cutouts at fixed positions, published in centimetres from the shoulder seam.

Light and lining

Opaque
Under our backlight rig, the outline of the form behind the fabric is not readable.
Fully lined
A second layer runs from the shoulder to the hem.

The backlit photograph above was taken on our fixed rig. The rig conditions are published. We do not claim any piece blocks light completely.

Where the hem lands when you sit

Floor standing; seated, the hem sits on the instep and the cutouts close slightly.

Measured seated: 43 cm below the knee at the base size. How this is measured.

In moving air

Moderate — the hem moves in air but returns quickly. A common choice for part-outdoor events.

This is a description of how the cloth behaves, not a promise about the weather.

Fabric and care in full

Why it is made this way

A cutout that lands somewhere unexpected is the reason this shape gets returned. So we publish exactly where ours are: two openings, each 9 cm tall and 7 cm wide, centred 41 cm down from the shoulder seam at the base size, graded 0.8 cm per size.

If your natural waist sits higher or lower than that, the cutouts will not land on it. That is a measurement question, and the answer is in the table.

Measured, not estimated

Every number below is taken from the finished garment laid flat and doubled, in centimetres and inches. Tolerance is ±1 cm. How each measurement is taken.
