The Palma skirt is a maxi length skirt; however, you may make it shorter if you wish, for example into a midi length. Materials needed are given for the maxi length skirt.

The skirt consists of three sections with different patterns, and every section becomes more transparent than the previous. The second section is transparent enough for light to shine through, but no more than to show your contours. Together the skirt and it’s sections have an A-shape and gives a flattering impression. It will be suitable for warm days as the stitch structure lets air circulate freely. It will give your summer look an effortless chic impression.
