This is a beautiful, professional-grade circle skirt made for dancing. It's handcrafted in Mexico by skilled artisans. The skirt is a 'double circle' cut, which means it has tons of fullness and spins out dramatically with every turn – perfect for Folkloric Mexican dance, Flamenco, Bomba, or Plena. It's made from a 35% cotton / 65% polyester blend that has just the right weight and drape for movement. The best part is the adjustability: it has two long ties on each side that you knot at the back waist. This lets you adjust both the waist size (up to about 38 inches) and the length (up to about 39 inches from waist to hem, but you can hike it up). The loops on the skirt are about 20 inches long. It's machine washable (use cold, gentle cycle, maybe a mesh bag), but hand washing is recommended to preserve the vibrant colors and stitching. A stunning and functional skirt for any performer.
