About this Product
Medium Velvet Upcycled Skirt, Eco Fashion,Recycled Clothing
Why? Several colors of velvet combine to make a unique skirt. Dress it up for a fancy party or boho it out for a festival. It's up to you. These particular skirts are truly prettier than the camera can portray and the colors are so much richer. The velvets just don’t photograph well for me honestly. (I’m much better at sewing)! Fabrics are soft and with the added flexible wide elastic waistband are just about as comfortable as you can get. It's as easy to wash as your favorite tee. It’s slow fashion at its best - handmade by me using awesome clothing found at thrift stores and estate sales. And less textiles in the landfills.
Sizing Is an estimate so be sure to check the measurements. This skirt is a size medium, with an elastic waist of 26” (unstretched) to 30” (stretched) and a length 27”.
Materials are all upcycled fabrics, taken from pre-loved party dresses, palazzo pants, and all matters of fun. They’re all stretch velvet, likely containing spandex. Garments used will never be stained or excessively worn. My skirts have exposed serged seams which only add to the character.
Care is SO EASY! Believe it or not, just throw these velvets in a washing machine in cold or warm water. Tumble dry on low to medium heat. No dry cleaning needed.
All my items are one-of-a-kind and ready to ship (although custom orders are welcomed)!
I’ve based my sizing on the waist on standard US sizing charts:
XS / 25”
S / 27”
M / 29”
L / 32”
XL / 34”
2X / 37”
3X / 40”
4X / 43”

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Fadoware and thanks for looking around! I’m Sandra, a one-woman shop owner selling uniquely upcycled clothing. I do all of my work at home in Texas, sewing a ton but also working as a process writer for a major bank. I’m a certified LEED Green Associate and passionate recycler who is addicted to estate sales and thirft stores.
How it’s Made
I love thrifting and going to estate sales. While shopping, I look for funky knits I can restyle into my one-of-a-kind, sustainably created skirts. I wash and dry the clothing I use using a high quality detergent, cut out the pieces, patchwork them together using a serger, and add a soft wide elastic waistband to come up with my unique creations.
