Mad Nomad
THE UNFOLDING SKIRT
THE UNFOLDING SKIRT
Made in a fluid midweight Tencel with a soft sheen, The Unfolding Skirt brings together movement and structure in a way that feels both polished and effortless. The silhouette skims the body before falling into soft volume through the front pleats, while the back stays more smooth and controlled for balance.
Designed to move beautifully as you walk (or dramatically pivot), this is the kind of skirt that can shift from creative work days to dinners, events, travel, or everyday wear without missing a beat.
Pair it with The Shift Happens Jacket for a modern power suit, or style it more casually with boots, sneakers, knits or a graphic tee.
Why You'll Love It:
Volume without overwhelm:
The front box pleats create beautiful movement and shape, while the more streamlined back keeps the silhouette balanced and easy to wear.
Thoughtful comfort details:
A flat waistband keeps the look polished, while subtle elasticated side sections add comfort and flexibility without compromising the fit.
A little unexpected:
The back centre pleat opens to reveal a contrast colour panel, adding movement and depth.
Pockets (obviously):
Deep side pockets roomy enough for the essentials, without adding bulk through the hips.
Customisable fit:
Made-to-order in sizes 6–30, with customisation options for length, waist and hip proportions, and back pleat contrast colour.
Note: This piece is made to order in your chosen colour combination. If you have another fabric or colour in mind, send me a DM or email. I'd love to chat options with you!

Style The Unfolding Skirt your way... depending on your mood.
Pair it with The Shift Happens Jacket for a modern power suit, or keep things relaxed with a simple tee, knit, or denim jacket for everyday wear.
The soft structure and fluid movement make it easy to dress up or down. Wear it with boots and a leather jacket for edge, sneakers and a tucked tee for casual days, or a cropped blazer when you want something a little more polished.
And because each colour acts like a neutral, it can slip easily into your existing wardrobe while still making a statement.
