ONCE UPON A TIME, OUR ‘WHATS YOUR SKIRT’ BRAND WAS BORN…

“IT IS MORE THAN A SKIRT BUT HOW IT EXPRESSES YOUR INDIVIDUALITY” 

Established since 2018, What’s Your Skirt is an award-winning UK leading designer and British manufacturer of luxury skirts in both ready-to-wear collections and haute couture bespoke personal services. Specialists in fashion design, garment craftsmanship and personal styling, we design and produce individual, elegant, luxurious, skirts for various occasions defining timeless key looks. Our signature style is feminine and quirky coupled with high quality fabrics and manufacture. We always aim to compliment and accentuate curves using the classic silhouettes and nipped in waist. We are devoted to making women look and feel beautiful in the skirt they are in, celebrating their bodies and bringing out their confident self. 

We pride ourselves in designing some of our own in-house eclectic prints which are exclusive to our brand. Limited collections are exquisitely designed and cut with attention to detail in our Yorkshire-based studio and we are influenced by the iconic British fashion from the 1950’s. Furthermore, all our collections are designed and manufactured in the UK and featured as a British label.

​‘What’s Your Skirt?’ is inspired by ‘The Confident Woman‘, she is a go-getter and knows her identity. The sophisticated and modern well-dressed woman with a twist of individuality is her daily style. She is glamourous, personable, and ambitious. She loves bold colour and statement pieces.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to revolutionise the skirt as a wardrobe staple, through design innovation, creativity, and couture construction, to allow women’s personalities to shine through their beautiful individual style.

WHAT INSPIRED US?

“Excuse me, I love your outfit, is that a skirt or a dress?”

This was precisely the question that ignited our entire brand! On numerous occasions, this was always the main comment, I would receive it was always posed to me everywhere I went, people would say, I love your dress, 9/10 times I would reply “Thank you lovely, it’s a skirt and a top”, it was then when I found my muse. It was at that point when I desired for every beautiful woman to feel 100% confident in the clothes they wear and the body they are in, with the skirt being the key piece that inspires the whole look. I have always loved fashion, but I found myself being somewhat disappointed when I went shopping as I struggled to find clothes that would fit me well and suited my personality. That is when I decided to give birth to my baby ‘What’s Your Skirt?’

MEET THE FOUNDER – SIOBHAN THOMAS BA (HONS)

I guess I have always had a real passion for creativity, it is my happy place even as a little girl, you would find be in the corner, painting a pretty picture. As a teen my love for art and design grew and I was thrilled when I got into Leeds College of Art and Design (Now called the University of the Arts in Leeds)

So, a little bit about me…

I graduated from the University of Huddersfield several years ago on a course called Fashion with Marketing, Manufacturing and Promotion. I have always loved fashion, but I found myself being somewhat disappointed when I went shopping as I struggled to find clothes that would fit me well and suited my personality. That is when I decided to give birth to my baby ‘What’s Your Skirt?’…

I have been in the fashion business since 2006, I have worked at a variety of industry renowned fashion brands and gained some invaluable first-hand experience and skills.

We pride ourselves in working with a variety of organisations freelancers, agencies, photographers, designers, models, hair stylists, makeup artists and influencers. We love to work with raw talented people and create a memorable experience for our clients.

The quality of the fabric, the design and the detail are exquisite. I recommend 'what's your skirt' very highly indeed to anyone who appreciates fashion and design.

I have an obsession with pencil skirts and the; incredibly talented Siobhan Thomas certainly didn’t disappoint!!! I was completely blown away with how perfect it fit and complemented my curvy figure.. Don’t delay and what’s your skirt right away!!xx Dionne Lydia Cummings

I fell in love with Siobhan's skirts when I had the honour of modelling a couple of designs. This lady is an absolute genius.. Her designs are so clever, beautiful and truly a joy to wear. I've since purchased my own skirt and I absolutely love it. It's a real treat having bespoke made clothing, especially a skirt, which I haven't worn in years. If you're looking for a special unique piece to update your wardrobe, I highly recommend a 'What's your Skirt'. Siobhans makes the whole experience really special. Such a treat xxx Emily Winn-Khan

I snapped up the most amazing beautiful skirt from Siobhan at my daughter's fashion event during York Fashion week. Siobhan offered to come to my home to fit it and returned with the finished skirt ( more a work of art!)

I found Siobhan gorgeous -fun friendly and what customer service !!! A fantastic personal shopping experience and sooo happy with my fantastic skirt ! Phillipa McDonough Bedford
