Heidi Merrick ~ 2023 Petticoat Maxi Skirt Black Satin and Lace

The waves crash just beyond the terrace. The night air is thick with the scent of sea salt and possibility. The music sways, low and slow, as glasses clink and conversations drift between shadow and candlelight. You step forward, the sheen of your skirt catching the golden glow of the lanterns, whispering against your skin with each deliberate movement. Eyes turn. Of course, they do. This is not an ordinary skirt. This is the PETTICOAT Skirt—a cascading dream of satin and lace, designed not just to be worn, but to be lived in. Nine layers of delicate lace ripple like poetry, catching moonlight, catching glances, catching memories. The fitted and gathered satin waist cinches just so, sculpting a silhouette that is equal parts romance and rebellion. An invisible side zipper ensures nothing interrupts the seamless flow of unlined fabric and mystery. Made in California, where sun-soaked elegance meets effortless cool. Pair it with a cable-knit sweater and a sailor’s cap for a windswept Saint-Tropez afternoon. Or slip into a sheer silk blouse, barefoot on a rocky coastline, the hem lifting ever so slightly in the breeze. Wear it to the market, the opera, or a last-minute escape to somewhere that requires nothing but your presence and a touch of recklessness. Because some skirts are just skirts. And some—like this one—are a glorious moment. Gently worn. Care tag but no fabric tag present. My guess would be it’s made of acetate. Actual and inspiration pics included.
