{"product_id":"the-great-skirt-victorian-k18906-white","title":"THE GREAT | Lattice Lace Victorian Skirt - White","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Victorian Skirt is built on the quiet drama of contrast: a crisp cotton ground worked all over with lattice lace, so the eye reads structure first and softness second. It belongs to THE GREAT's ongoing dialogue with heirloom dressing, the kind of piece that looks pulled from a trunk of family lace yet sits comfortably in a contemporary wardrobe. The lattice pattern is the defining feature here — an open, geometric lacework that catches light differently depending on how the fabric falls, giving the skirt a texture that reads as intricate up close and simply luminous from a distance.\n\nThe hand is unmistakably cotton: crisp rather than clingy, with the whisper-light quality of voile that has enough body to hold its own shape without stiffness. Lace trims run through the construction rather than sitting as an afterthought at the hem, so the perforated, latticed texture is integrated into the fabric's character rather than applied on top of it. Against skin it feels breathable and dry-handed, the kind of cotton that softens gently with wear and washing rather than losing its structure outright.\n\nConstruction leans on an interior waist channel, a detail borrowed from the label's Victorian Top and translated here into skirt form — it allows the waistband to sit cleanly against the body while leaving room for a considered, adjustable fit rather than a rigid one. The white colourway keeps the lattice lace legible: the openwork pattern shows most clearly against a pale ground, so the texture does the work that colour or print would do elsewhere. The silhouette is composed rather than fussy, with enough structure through the waist to anchor a fuller or straighter hemline, depending on how it's cut, and enough lightness in the cotton to avoid ever feeling costume-like.\n\nIn motion, the lace-worked cotton has a slight give and sway that plain cotton lacks — the lattice creates small pockets of movement across the surface, so the skirt shifts and catches air rather than moving as one flat plane. That makes it suited to warmer months, worn on its own with bare legs and simple sandals, or layered in cooler weather with opaque tights and a fine-knit top underneath the lace for a modern take on the antique reference.\n\nStyle it with a plain white or ivory top to let the lattice lace read as the sole textural statement, or ground it with a black knit and boots to pull the piece out of purely romantic territory and into everyday rotation. It also works as a foundation piece: pair it with a tailored blazer for daytime structure, or a simple camisole and gold jewellery for evening, letting the interior waist channel do the quiet work of keeping the fit clean underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE GREAT","offers":[{"title":"WHITE \/ 1-S","offer_id":41832056127621,"sku":"475 VICTORIAN K18906","price":4090.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/THE_GREAT-475_VICTORIAN_K18906-WHITE_01.jpg?v=1787773304","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/the-great-skirt-victorian-k18906-white","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
