Hummingbird Woven Skirt

The Hummingbird woven skirt has no-gape panel pockets, back zipper and simple slim, straight waistband (~1" below natural waist). Skirt is suitable for a wide range of woven fabrics - Orange View skirt is shorter and simpler, a workhorse wardrobe staple in twills, canvases or denim. Pink View Skirt is a little fancier with a tail feather flounce and is suitable for non-bulky bottom weight fabrics with some drape.
