From FibreMood:

Attention please! Amira is our ode to the skirt – a lovely pleated skirt. The yoke shows off the fitted waist area, and the skirt drapes effortless over the hips for a soft, feminine look. We made a trendy mid-length version, but Amira looks lovely longer or shorter too. For a smashing outfit, pair with the our Tilly top in the same fabric to make a co-ord set. Skirt lovers, what are you waiting for?

Fabric advice

For Amira, you want fabric that retains its shape (read: nice, neat pleats!) after pressing. Polyester, polyamide, and poplin do that best. However, lyocell or fabric with a somewhat softer drape – e.g. viscose (crepe) – will also work. In that case, the pleats will be a little more relaxed. Amira also looks fabulous in leather(ette), chambray, suede and satin.
