Check Denim Mini Skirt in Light Navy

Denim's silhouette, linen's hand — this one is a bit of a trick, and a good one.

The Check Denim Mini reads as a classic denim skirt from across the room: clean A-line, welt pockets, contrast topstitching. Up close it's a linen-cotton blend with a soft denim-look finish and a printed check running through it, which means it moves and breathes like linen rather than sitting stiff the way real denim does.

The Tiny Big Sister is tinycottons' grown-up line — the same fabric quality and the same prints, cut for adults.

Wear her with the Colour Blocked Sherpa Jacket and a boot, or a fine-gauge knit and a flat.

Fit: Sized in European numbers. We have EU 36 through 42 — roughly a US 4 through 10. The Tiny Big Sister doesn't publish a conversion chart, so we've put the actual waist measurements in the size guide below. Between sizes? Email us and we'll measure the garment itself. Their model is 173cm (5'8") and wears a 36.

Care note: The Tiny Big Sister asks that this one be washed separately for its first three washes — the printed check can crock.

The details: A-line mini · welt pockets · contrast topstitch · printed check on a denim-look finish · 55% linen, 45% cotton · machine wash cold, wash separately 3 times, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, warm iron on reverse, do not dry clean, wash inside out with similar colours · designed in Barcelona, made in China in BSCI-certified factories

FIT NOTES
Clean A-line mini. Sized in European numbers. The Tiny Big Sister's model is 173cm (5'8") and wears a size 36.

EU TO US, AND WHAT EACH SIZE ACTUALLY MEASURES

EU 36 ≈ US 4 (UK 8) · waist 28" (71 cm)
EU 38 ≈ US 6 (UK 10) · waist 29.5" (75 cm)
EU 40 ≈ US 8 (UK 12) · waist 31" (79 cm)
EU 42 ≈ US 10 (UK 14) · waist 32.5" (83 cm)

We carry EU 36 through 42 in this style - the full run.

A note on where these numbers come from, because it matters: The Tiny Big Sister does not
publish a size chart or a US conversion. The US column above is the standard European
conversion, and it lines up with a US stockist of this same line, which lists EU 34 as a
US 2 and EU 42 as a US 10. The waist figures are published by a UK stockist, not by the
brand. Treat both as a good guide rather than the brand's own word.

European numbers are not consistent between brands - a French label and a Spanish one can
put the same number a full size apart - so go by the measurement rather than the number if
you can. This is a skirt, so the waist figure is the one that decides it.
