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 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.

Shown with

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

Interior label reads Chaque-Fois by Gianna with marked vintage size US 14 / FR 46 / GB 16 / D 44 and Made in Hong Kong. Era is estimated based on the label, sizing system, color, pleated construction, elastic waistband, and overall 1980s daywear silhouette.

Sizing Chart to add this for Vintage Clothes Vintage sizing varies greatly by brand, country, garment type, and time period. The marked vintage size may not reflect today’s sizing standards. Whenever possible, we provide both the original marked size and our estimated modern US size equivalent. This estimate is based on the item’s era, construction, fabric behavior, relevant size references, and how the piece fits on the model shown. We do not clip, pin, or artificially alter garments when photographing them. The model’s size, measurements, and visible fit are the best guides for understanding modern fit.

Favorite place to shop. Melynda always has the best treasures and she does custom designs. I bought a vintage dress from her to wear to a Gucci event, and I got soooo many compliments! Go now. This is definitely a must shop place in DTLA .

It was my 2nd or 3rd time browsing the site, and my first time purchasing from it. I was familiar with the site and brand (was recommended by a close friend of mine who has good taste), and decided to check it out. I liked the layout of the site, made it pretty easy to look for what I like, and found what I wanted in like 4 minutes after browsing. Paying was straightforward, I received the package in about 10 days (flat fee for shipping), and it fit pretty well. The shirt fit me well, and I liked the length of it which was longer than typical shirts, I appreciated the minimalism of it. All in all, a great purchase! 5 stars.

I highly recommend supporting this local business. The owner Melynda has been so generous in helping out fire victims by creating a pop up free clothing boutique, and volunteering her time there. She definitely has a strong eye for fashion and a heart of gold, so I recommend stopping by and supporting her shop!

What a gem of a place! Everything I took home fit. The clothes were fabulous but Trent was so cool and cute, Carmen was so very helpful going out if her way for me and Allison helped my cousin hand pick his new wardrobe and not to mention she was gorgeous to boot! Thank you Quirk, Thanks for going above and beyond and for restoring my faith in humanity! Margo and Raul

I helped out the Free People's Boutique by Quirk by sorting racks and registering shoppers on a Saturday. It was a humbling experience. I was asked to pass on so much gratitude to Melynda and her team by every guest I had the pleasure to assist.

My experience with Quirk was online. I was in some need of something white to wear that catches the eye, and found something that suited my taste in a few minutes. I had a fun time browsing the site, looking at the selection that was offered, it was fun to see so many bright colors, which is why it was a pleasent surprise for me to find something I felt more comfortable with. I made my purchase online after seeing how the sizes were measured (which was more detailed than most other sites), and felt confident making my choice. After about 10 days it arrived, and it was exactly how I saw it on the site. I really liked the lenght and the feel of it, and it fit me great, I would recommend Quirk for anyone who wants to step up their outfit game.

Looking for unique style with a personal touch? Look no further than Quirk. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a VIP. The owner, Melynda, is not just a salesperson; she's a magician with fashion. She effortlessly picked out pieces that perfectly suited my taste and body type, creating looks I never imagined possible. The selection of vintage clothing is unparalleled, each piece telling its own story. Whether you're a seasoned vintage lover or a newbie, [Owner's Name] will elevate your wardrobe to new heights. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

This store is about as good as it gets when it comes to second-hand, quality, and well known products. I can't speak as much on the women's section, but the men's had a very wide range of styles and brands. From amazing Ralph Lauren denim to classy vintage coats this place has the works. Not only is it a gem for its wares, but the owner of the place is just wonderful. She is nice and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, and maybe even something you didn't even know you needed. My pickups from my first time included a navy Air Force Peacoat, a cashmere v-neck sweater and a pair of that amazing Ralph Lauren denim that I mentioned. I would highly recommend this store to anyone if you are looking for higher end quality and rarity for a fair price. I know that I will definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.
