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/

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.
