Secret Honey North Mountain Elsa Skirt

Hello everyone and welcome to a new post Today I would like to show you a piece, I consider a real treasure in my collection, the beautiful North Mountain Elsa Skirt from Secret Honey. I searched very long for this one, I really wished to have it in my collection. It is beautiful and unique among all Secret Honey designs. I love the sequins, the silver print, the waistband… Even the zipper is beautiful.

I showcase one of my Disney pieces every two weeks, you can check out my other posts if you like. Last time I showed you my Shimamura Spirit Elsa Set.

The North Mountain Elsa Skirt

I tried to style this skirt different ways, for example with the Spirit Elsa costume leggings and white shoes etc. But I think I like it this way best. Nude tights or no tights at all. The shoes have potential to be better in the future though 😉 This skirt made me really feel my inner Elsa, I have too many photos posing, but I like this one best. Here is a picture from the front:

Still posing and presenting the skirt from the side. I think, I need to loose another 5ish kilos. I like the way the skirt looks, but it is very snug.

And here is the skirt from the back. It has a beautiful silver statement zipper. We will look at it in more detail further down this post 🙂

Of course, you can wear the gilet from the Elsa North Mountain Set with the skirt as well! The shirt is also from that set.

The Facts

I guess this skirt is quite rare, judging from how long it took me to find it. I also paid too much for it, but hey, I’m a collector…

Size and Closure

The skirt closes with a decorative silver zipper in the back. On both sides of the waistband in the back you have a shirring panel. The waistband is lined and quite sturdy. The fabric has actually a bit of stretch which is nice to wear.

The skirt is quite small, but maybe the reason is, that it is a fitted pencil skirt in japanese onesize. You get away with the smaller dresses if they fit around the waist usually, even if your hips are a bit more curvy because usually, you have a circle skirt.

Measurements

(Amateur-)measured with shirring extended:

Waist: ca. 74cm
Hips: ca. 102cm

Fit on me

My buttocks are probably the biggest that fits into that skirt… I do like how it looks on me when I stand, I like my clothes to be fitted, but compared to the promo pictures it is visible that it is clearly not meant to be tight. When I sit, there is tension on the slit in the skirt. Which is why I will wait until I have lost a bit more weight to really wear it. The slit is sewn very well, but the risk is unnecessary.

The Waistband

I really like the waistband. It has a nice shape and I like that the seams of the skirt are mirrored on it as well. The seams give it some interest. But of course, it is the sparkles that are most important, right?

Here is a closer look at the beads and rhinestones on the waistband:

The Sequins

But, the waistband is not the only sparkly part of this skirt, there are sequins sewn on in rows and clusters all over. They are quite subtle in natural lighting since they are transparent and only slightly iridescent:

In studio lighting however, these things sparkle magnificently and I bet they also would in sunlight! Look at it:

The Print

The skirt does have a print in silver on both sides of the slit. On the right side, we have Elsa, her palace and some snowflakes.

On the other side we have more snow flakes. I like that there are so many different shapes! I think all of them do repeat once though:

Skirt Construction

There is one last thing I would like to mention. This skirt does not have a lining. i have never sewed a pencil skirt. My pencil skirted dresses usually do have a lininng and they do ride up a bit, which is not the nicest if the skirt is on the shorter side. Maybe Secret Honey deliberately did not line this skirt to not make it ride up? I don’t know. Just wanted to mention it. The fabric is sturdy, so the second layer is not really needed. But the threads holding down the sequins are not protected. Just something to keep in mind if you are like me used to the fact that Secret Honey lines almost everything 🙂

Here is one last photo of me in this beautiful skirt 🙂 I am so happy and grateful I was able to find it, I love it so much!

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed looking at all of the pretty details of this North Mountain Elsa skirt together with me. I wish you a good one and hope to see you in my next post

Love,
Ella
