In contast to the soft tones of the "Upstate" mesh collection, Manhattan is bright, bold and anapologetically confident. 
 
The geometic pattern is a nod to the grid structure in the majority of Manhattan's streets, the millions of windows, the angles of the buildings, the billboards of Times Square. The noise, the colours, the intensity, the audacity of the city and its people are expressed in the bright colours. 
 
The Swish shape works so well for a danceskirt, and is particularly suited to stretch mesh fabric. Whilst you get a sleek, minimal feel, you also get a lovely swish and flow when you move.
 
The waistband is a simple foldover elastic for a neat, minimalist feel. 
 
Cut in a full circle/ellipse, shorter on the sides and a little longer at the back - a cut that really lengthens the leg. And the effect in a pirouette is delightful.
 
Here are the approximate lengths according to waist sizes (excuse mixed cms and inches!!) Or let me know your preferred length.
