FAQ

Frequently asked

Who makes the skirts?

I work with two small workshops in India — Isha and her team in Gujarat sew the travel skirts and tops, and a separate workshop in Jaipur cuts and sews the one-of-one sari pieces. I source every vintage sari myself in Jaipur's flea markets.

Why are some pieces "one-of-one"?

Because they're cut from a single vintage sari. Once the fabric is used, it's gone. That's also why the sari pieces are final sale — there's nothing to exchange them with.

How long does shipping take?

Everything ships directly from our workshop in Jaipur, India. Processing takes 1–3 business days, then delivery takes 7–14 business days to the US and most international destinations. Full details on the Shipping policy.

Can I return something?

Travel skirts and tops: yes, 14 days, unworn with tags. Sari wraps and one-of-one pieces: no — they're final sale. Full return policy.

What size am I?

See the size guide. Or just email me your measurements — I'll pick for you.

Do you ship to my country?

Yes — we ship worldwide from Jaipur. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (not included in shipping). A dedicated EU warehouse is coming in 2026 to reduce delivery times for European customers.

How do I take care of the skirts?

Cold hand wash, hang dry, no bleach. Vintage saris are decades-old fabric — gentle is the rule. Iron on low if needed.

Is the fabric really vintage?

Yes. Every sari is sourced from flea markets and resale traders in Jaipur. The colors and prints are from the 70s, 80s, 90s — that's the whole point. Tiny imperfections (a soft mark, an irregular weave) are part of the fabric's history, not defects.

Do you do wholesale?

Yes — small boutiques and retreat shops. Work with us.

How can I get featured on the website?

Tag #WornAroundTheWorld on Instagram when you wear yours. I repost every single one and you'll get 15% off your next order with code UGC15.

Yes. theskirtgirl.com is a real Shopify store run by me (Valeria) since 2024. Checkout is secured by Shopify Payments, the same processor used by Allbirds, Gymshark and thousands of other brands. Email me anytime at travelingcuervo@gmail.com and I'll reply within 48 hours.
