Meet the passionate team dedicated to helping Australian women find their perfect skirt
Best Skirt Australia began in 2024 when our founder, Sarah Mitchell, found herself overwhelmed by the endless choices of skirts available online. As a Melbourne-based fashion enthusiast who had spent over a decade working in the Australian fashion retail industry, Sarah understood firsthand how challenging it could be to find skirts that truly fit, flatter, and last.
After countless conversations with friends, colleagues, and customers who shared the same frustrations—discovering a gorgeous skirt online only to receive something that didn't match the photos, or worse, fell apart after a few washes—Sarah knew there had to be a better way. She envisioned a platform that would cut through the noise and provide genuine, tested recommendations for Australian women.
What started as a small blog documenting skirt reviews has grown into Australia's most trusted skirt styling resource. Today, our team of fashion experts, textile specialists, and style consultants works tirelessly to test, evaluate, and curate the best skirts from midi to maxi, denim to pleated, ensuring every recommendation meets our rigorous standards for quality, fit, and style.
We believe that the right skirt can transform not just your outfit, but your entire day. There's something magical about twirling in a perfectly fitted midi skirt or feeling the breeze through a flowing maxi on a warm Sydney afternoon. Our mission is to help every Australian woman experience that feeling—without the guesswork, disappointment, or wasted money that often comes with online shopping.
The principles that guide everything we do
Every skirt we recommend undergoes extensive evaluation. We examine fabric composition, stitching quality, sizing accuracy, and real-world wearability. We don't just look at product photos—we understand hem finishes, waistband construction, and how different fabrics drape on various body types.
We only recommend products we genuinely believe in. If a skirt doesn't meet our standards—whether it's poor quality stitching, inaccurate sizing, or unflattering cut—it doesn't make our list. Our reputation depends on your trust, and we take that seriously.
We understand the unique needs of Australian women. From selecting breathable fabrics for our harsh summers to recommending versatile pieces for our unpredictable weather, every guide is tailored to life Down Under. We know the difference between what works in Europe and what works in Brisbane.
We prioritise quality over quantity, recommending investment pieces that last rather than fast fashion that ends up in landfill. We actively highlight brands using sustainable practices, recycled materials, and ethical manufacturing processes.
Fashion should be accessible to everyone. We make a conscious effort to include options across all size ranges and provide detailed sizing guides. Our team includes women of different body types who personally test how skirts fit across various measurements.
Beyond recommendations, we aim to empower you with knowledge. Our guides cover everything from understanding fabric care symbols to mastering the art of tucking different tops into various skirt styles. We want you to feel confident making your own styling decisions.
