Eyelet fabric and construction details
The Melrose and Market eyelet miniskirt is cut from crisp 100% cotton eyelet – a woven fabric punctuated with small embroidered holes arranged in delicate floral motifs. We chose this particular eyelet weave for its dimensional texture and the way it catches light without feeling costume-y. The base cotton has enough body to hold the A-line shape while still draping naturally when you move.
Each skirt is fully lined with a lightweight cotton voile layer that prevents sheerness and adds a soft hand against your skin. The eyelet pattern concentrates along the hemline and radiates upward in graduating density, creating subtle visual movement. Our pattern team refined the cutwork placement over several samples to ensure the design reads cohesive from every angle.
Sizing and fit guidance
This miniskirt runs true to Melrose and Market’s standard sizing. The high-rise waist sits approximately one inch above your natural waistline, and the concealed side zip extends four inches down from the waistband for easy on-and-off. We designed the A-line silhouette to skim your hips without clinging – there’s enough ease through the hip measurement to allow comfortable movement without excess fabric bunching.
The finished length measures 16 inches from the top of the waistband in size medium, hitting most customers at mid-thigh. If you typically wear our brand and find yourself between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a closer fit through the waist or staying with your usual size if you prefer a bit more room through the hips. The cotton eyelet has minimal stretch, so the waistband measurement is your primary fit indicator.
Styling options and wardrobe pairings
We wear our Melrose and Market eyelet miniskirt tucked into with a lightweight knit tank and slides for daytime ease, then swap in a silk cami and heeled mules when evening plans call for something slightly elevated. The eyelet detail carries enough visual interest that you can keep the rest of your outfit simple – solid colors and minimal jewelry let the fabric do the talking.
For cooler spring mornings or air-conditioned spaces, layer a cropped denim jacket or linen blazer over a fitted tee. The white colorway reads crisp and summery against tanned skin, while the natural ecru option offers a softer, vintage-inspired tone that pairs beautifully with warm neutrals and terracotta shades. The eyelet’s floral cutwork complements other feminine pieces in our collection, and the clean A-line shape works just as well with chunky sneakers as it does with delicate accessories that echo the skirt’s romantic detailing.

What people are saying
Common questions about our eyelet miniskirt
No, this skirt is fully lined with a soft cotton voile layer that ensures complete coverage. The eyelet cutwork creates decorative openings in the outer fabric, but the lining beneath prevents any sheerness. You won’t need to wear a slip or additional layer underneath.
The finished length measures 16 inches from the top of the waistband in size medium, which typically hits at mid-thigh for most customers. Your exact placement will vary based on your torso length and natural waist position. The high-rise waistband sits approximately one inch above your natural waistline.
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with similar colors. We recommend line drying or laying flat to preserve the eyelet’s texture and prevent shrinkage. If you prefer machine drying, use a low heat setting and remove the skirt while still slightly damp to minimize wrinkles. A warm iron on the cotton setting will restore crispness as needed.
No, this skirt does not include pockets. The A-line silhouette and eyelet fabric construction are designed to maintain a clean, streamlined profile. The concealed side zipper provides the only functional closure, keeping the overall look minimal and feminine.
This miniskirt runs true to our standard sizing. The waistband has no stretch since it’s cut from cotton eyelet, so we recommend choosing your size based on your waist measurement rather than your hip measurement. If you typically wear our brand and find yourself between sizes, sizing down will give you a closer fit through the waist, while staying with your usual size offers a bit more ease through the hips.
The white colorway is a crisp, bright white with cool undertones that reads fresh and summery. The natural ecru option has a softer, slightly off-white tone with warm undertones that lean more vintage-inspired. Both colors feature the same eyelet pattern and construction – the choice comes down to whether you prefer a bolder white or a mellower neutral base.
The embroidered eyelet cutwork is reinforced along each opening to resist fraying under normal wear and care. To maximize longevity, avoid washing with items that have rough hardware or Velcro closures, and skip high-heat tumble drying. With proper care, the eyelet detail should maintain its integrity through many seasons of regular wear.
