Vintage Tablecloth Skirts: One-of-a-Kind Wrap Skirt

Discover our unique collection of skirts crafted from carefully selected antique and vintage tablecloths, each telling its own story. Celebrating timeless craftsmanship, these skirts are more than just garments—they are wearable pieces of history, much like our Olea salopettes. Designed for versatility and inclusivity, our one-size-fits-most design ensures a comfortable fit for a variety of body types, making each piece a truly treasure.

The Story Behind the Garment

Last year, I bought a beautiful vintage tablecloth from Vanessa, a Parisian living in Anderlecht, Belgium. Vanessa runs a small online business selling a mix of treasures, including books, accessories, and handpicked textiles. Supporting her business felt great because we both share a love for old textiles and the stories they tell.

The tablecloth I bought from Vanessa was special and so soft, with faint stiches of white silver floral patterns in squares and blue light colors that had stood the test of time. Knowing that Vanessa selected this piece with care made it even more meaningful. As a small business owner myself, it’s wonderful to support others who appreciate and cherish pre-loved materials. This purchase was not just about acquiring a beautiful item but also about connecting with someone who values the history and beauty of vintage finds.

The design was further enriched with a deadstock cotton blend fabric handpicked in a flea market Monday ‘s market in Jordaan area (found 2019/20). Combining these elements resulted in a skirt that showcases the beauty of upcycling and vintage craftsmanship, with each fabric thoughtfully selected and integrated.

Back in our studio, I envisioned a one-of-a-kind skirt that would blend the vintage charm of the tablecloth with modern elegance. I wanted to create a design that fits more body types, so I decided on a one-size wrap skirt, letting the raw textiles determine the sizes. After several days of careful planning, I decided to incorporate pleats—a detail I love to work with, as seen in our Olea salopette pants. Pleats add a touch of sophistication and enhance the fabric's natural drape.

I named this skirt version Melidia, inspired by my daughters Melina and Lydia. They adored the design and even requested their own, making it a truly special creation:)

You can check out the full story of the design further down the page, along with the before and after process.

The result is a stunning wrap skirt that features:

The Final Design

Our Melidia wrap skirt features two sets of ties, designed to fit a range of body types from XS to M/L. This ensures easy size selection and provides a comfortable, flattering fit for all.

Waist Ties: One set of ties, approximately 1.60+ meters in length, wraps around your waist to secure the garment in place. Made of the curtain fabric.

Hip Ties: The other set of ties, each approximately 35-40 centimeters long, ties around the hip area, adding versatility and allowing for further customization. Made of the curtain fabric.

Additionally, the waistband is elasticated on the back side only, enhancing both comfort and flexibility.

The skirt’s back and front halves are crafted from the tablecloth in faint floral patterns , featuring two front darts and drape pleats at the back due to the elastic waistband. The other front part of the skirt, made from the deadstock fabric in dark blue with white stripes, features seven meticulously crafted pleats. These pleats add a chic, draping effect that enhances the overall elegance of the piece, creating a beautiful, flowing silhouette.

Thoughtfully designed to highlight the unique details of the original materials, the skirt preserves their beauty and charm.

The wrap style not only offers adjustable comfort but also adds a touch of effortless elegance to your wardrobe. Perfect for pairing with your favorite tops, shirts, or blazers for a chic and stylish spring or summer look.

From Upcycled Collection : The raw materials and our making process

How to wear it.

To wear the skirt, slide the waist long tie through the buttonhole on the upper edge of the fabric. Pull the right corner tie through the buttonhole and keep it taut. Wrap the left corner around your body until it reaches the buttonhole, then tie both ties together into a single bow. Adjust the skirt for a comfortable fit; it should rest snugly against your waist or hips without pinching or feeling loose. If necessary, untie and readjust until you achieve the perfect fit.

The Story Behind the Garment

Last year, I purchased a charming vintage tablecloth from Vanessa, a Parisian living in Anderlecht, Belgium. Vanessa runs a small online business offering a variety of treasures, including books, accessories, and carefully chosen textiles. Supporting her business felt wonderful because we both share a passion for old textiles and the unique stories they tell.

The tablecloth I acquired from Vanessa was special and soft, featuring delicate stitches of white floral patterns in squares and light blue hues that had gracefully endured over time. Knowing that Vanessa handpicked this piece with care made it even more meaningful. As a fellow small business owner, it’s delightful to support others who value and cherish pre-loved materials. This purchase was not just about obtaining a beautiful item but also about connecting with someone who appreciates the history and charm of vintage finds.

As a designer passionate about saving and reviving vintage textiles, I was thrilled that I didn’t need to purchase anything new for this skirt. By revisiting my collection of deadstock fabrics, I created a piece that blends the past and present. This approach results in a garment rich in history, carrying forward the passion of those who cherished these materials before me.

Reworked with love in our new studio, this garment is a testament to the timeless beauty of vintage craftsmanship and modern creativity.
