Product Insights

The Dandy Skirt Dl is ET AL's entry pleat skirt, a $549 AUD piece in a 35% nylon / 30% cotton / 35% viscose shell with a cotton lining, designed to drape fluidly while heat-set pleats hold their line through wear and dry cleaning. The black lace is lined to be opaque, so openwork reads as tonal texture, and cotton-lined side pockets keep contents from showing through, with nylon at the openings resisting stretch. It breathes through warm days thanks to viscose and cotton, and the cotton lining sits against the skin so the lace never scratches. The main tradeoffs: the front waist is fixed with minimal stretch, so sizing must match the natural waist (elastic back adds seated ease, not stretch); the openwork lace snags on jewellery and hardware, though nylon reduces the risk; and dry-clean-only care turns the $549 price into an ongoing maintenance cost, even though nylon resists wrinkles and pleats hold. The scalloped hem alone reveals the lace's true sheer edge. Priced at $549, it matches the Dandy Blazer and shares the same lace weave as the Dandy Angle Shirt, forming a $1,098 unisex suit.

Verified claims

Material
35% nylon / 30% cotton / 35% viscose shell with cotton lining: fluid drape, pleats hold, Dry Clean Only.
Fabric
Smooth, fluid drape from the 35% nylon / 30% cotton / 35% viscose shell; nylon holds the pleats.
Fit
Main fabric barely stretches on this unisex skirt; the elastic waist at the back is the only give, so the fixed front must match the natural waist.
Pleats
Heat-set pleats hold their line through regular wear; dry cleaning keeps the crease intact.
Opacity
Cotton lining makes the black lace opaque, so openwork reads as tonal texture.
Pockets
Side pockets are cotton-lined with a nylon-stabilised opening, so the pocket opening resists stretching out of shape.
Snag risk
Openwork lace catches on jewellery, bag hardware and rough surfaces; 35% nylon reduces but doesn't remove the risk.
Warm-weather comfort
Viscose and cotton keep the skirt breathable all day despite the lace overlay and cotton lining.
Sizing
Seven unisex sizes (0–6) size by the fixed front waist; the elastic back adds seated ease, not stretch.
Care
Dry-clean only; a low-heat steamer a few inches away refreshes pleats between visits.
Durability
35% nylon stabilizes the viscose blend, adding tensile strength and abrasion resistance through regular wear and dry cleaning.
Value
At $549 AUD it's ET AL's entry pleat skirt, undercutting Astille's $590 Aurore.
Dandy set
One designed set: same lace as the Dandy shirt, same $549 as the Dandy blazer; the full suit is $1,098.
Hem
The scalloped hem is the visible lace edge; the cotton lining provides opacity, but the listing doesn't specify the exact lining depth.
Skin comfort
The cotton lining sits against the skin, giving a smooth finish so the openwork lace doesn't scratch.
Drape
The lace is integrated into the pleated construction, so the skirt keeps a fluid drape and the pleats hold rather than feeling stiff.
Set coordination
The skirt's BLACK LACE is the same 35/30/35 lace as the Dandy Angle Shirt DL.
Price ladder
$549 Dandy is ET AL's cheapest skirt, $50–$130 under its siblings.
Maintenance cost
Dry-clean-only care turns the $549 skirt into an ongoing cost the synthetic pleats avoid.
Pocket function
The side-seam pockets sit in the hip ease created by the pleats, so they can take real weight without the side seam bowing the way they would on a close-fitting skirt, and the pleated front face stays visually uninterrupted.
Styling
Layer the Dandy Skirt DL with a sleeveless black lace buttoned vest for a coordinated matching lace look.
Lace construction
The BLACK LACE is a true openwork lace, not an embossed or printed texture, and it is integrated into the pleated construction.
