Sunray Circle Skirt (Pillai)
Features & Measurements
FEATURES:
- Iconic Sunray pleat:
Manual, heat pressed cardboard pleating: Each pleat has been sculpted by our artisans from cardboard moulds broken by hand, tightening the loom with wooden clamps then heated in an oven — creating a texture that is both visually striking and sensorially delightful.
This pleating has a permanent effect, and care for the skirt is as effortless as the sway of the pleats: Put garment in a laundry bag, gentle machine wash, hang to air dry and let the chic continue.
Avoid rough and excessive bending to maintain integrity of the pleats.
While the pleats withstand heat during the crafting process, avoid exposing them to excessive heat sources like ironing and steaming.
- Double row elastic waistband
- Full circle silhouette
- Sits on natural waist
- 2 Side Pockets
- Maxi length
- Finishing (French Seam finishing for the sides)
- Hair Tie is not included
Paired with our Bow Blouse (Look Up) for this look.

This pleating has a permanent effect, and care for the skirt is as effortless as the sway of the pleats:
Avoid rough and excessive bending or pressure to maintain integrity of the pleats. While the pleats withstand heat during the crafting process, avoid exposing them to excessive heat sources like ironing and steaming.
Do not wear a pleated garment for a long period of time if it is still wet as it may alter the pleats and shape of the garment.
