1980s Chaque-Fois by Gianna Coral Orange Pleated Midi Skirt – Size XS/S–M, US 2/4–6/8

Description

Full Product Description

A bright vintage Chaque-Fois by Gianna pleated midi skirt in a warm coral-orange shade, with a soft elastic pull-on waistband and narrow vertical pleats through the body. The color sits somewhere between tangerine, coral, and sun-faded terracotta: cheerful, warm, and easy to style without feeling overly sweet.

The silhouette is simple but strong: an easy pull-on waist, smooth upper hip, and long vertical pleating that gives the skirt movement without too much volume. It has that relaxed 1980s daywear feeling, but styled with a striped vest, metallic kitten heels, a crisp white shirt, or a simple fitted knit, it reads much more modern.

Marked vintage size US 14 / FR 46 / GB 16 / D 44, but this should not be read as a modern US 14. Based on Dominique’s measurements and the visible fit, this skirt is best for a modern XS/S–M, US 2/4–6/8, approximately UK 6/8–10/12, EU 34/36–38/40, IT 38/40–42/44 depending on waist comfort, elastic stretch, and desired fit.

Shown on Dominique with a striped knit vest and metallic kitten heels. Listing is for the skirt only.

Fit Notes

Marked vintage size US 14 / FR 46 / GB 16 / D 44. Estimated modern fit is XS/S–M, US 2/4–6/8, approximately UK 6/8–10/12, EU 34/36–38/40, IT 38/40–42/44.

Shown on Dominique, who is 5’9” with a 32B bust, 25” waist, and 37” hips and typically wears a modern high-fashion 2/4. On Dominique, the skirt fits comfortably at the waist with a fluid pleated shape through the body. The elastic waistband allows some flexibility, so best fit will depend on waist comfort, where the skirt is worn, and preferred ease.

The marked vintage size is label information and does not translate to a modern US 14. Please use the estimated modern size and model fit notes as the primary fit guide.

Condition

Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The coral-orange pleated exterior presents cleanly overall, with no major flaws visible in the provided photos. Interior label shows age-related wear, and the elastic waistband is wearable as shown on Dominique. Please review photos carefully.

Styling Notes

Style it with a striped knit vest and metallic kitten heels for a playful 1980s-meets-now look, or pair it with a crisp white button-down tied at the waist, a fitted black tank and oversized blazer, a cream silk blouse, or a cropped sweater and sculptural jewelry. The coral-orange tone works especially well with ivory, black, navy, chocolate brown, pale blue, olive, gold, and soft gray.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

Styled with a striped knit vest and metallic heels for shoot styling. Listing is for the skirt only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its saturated coral-orange color, easy pull-on waist, fine pleated texture, and versatile midi length. It has the kind of cheerful 1980s polish that can feel playful, minimal, or artful depending on how it is styled.

Authenticity Note
