MELIDIA: Wrap Skirt in Blue / White Embroidery tablecloths mix - One size
Vintage Tablecloth Skirts: One-of-a-Kind Wrap Skirts
Introducing our exquisite collection of skirts made from carefully selected vintage and antique tablecloths, each with its own unique story. Designed to celebrate the beauty of timeless craftsmanship, these skirts are more than just garments—they are wearable pieces of nostalgia, crafted using only preloved materials (with the exception of new elastic).
The Story Behind the Garment
While browsing Etsy, I spotted a blue tablecloth with white embroidered flowers sold by Anne Marie from a small village outside s-Hertogenbosch. The intricate floral patterns and delicate hand-stitched details immediately caught my eye, so I decided to buy it. Anne Marie told me about the history of the tablecloth and the many family gatherings it had seen, despite a few stains. When I received it, she also included a heartfelt letter. This beautiful story inspired me to give it new life, to transform it into something wearable and timeless. The stains tell their own stories of gatherings, dinners with friends, and celebrations.
Back in our studio, I was captivated by the beautiful flowers and black “ X “stiches embedded in the fabric. I envisioned a one-of-a-kind skirt that would blend the vintage charm of the tablecloth with modern elegance. I wanted to create a design that fits more body types, so I decided on a one-size wrap skirt, letting the raw textiles determine the sizes. After several days of careful planning, I decided to incorporate pleats—a detail I love to work with, as seen in our Olea salopette pants. Pleats add a touch of sophistication and enhance the fabric's natural drape.
However, the tablecloth alone wasn’t enough for the pleats. Fortunately, I found a beautiful white cotton tablecloth from my collection, likely found in Paris in 2022 during my pop-up in Le Marais. With its faint floral designs, the magic happened.
I named this skirt version Melidia, as both my daughters, Melina and Lydia, approved the design and even asked for some for themselves! :)
You can check out the full story of the design further down the page, along with the before and after process.
The result is a stunning wrap skirt that features:

How to wear it.
To wear the skirt, slide the tie through the buttonhole on the upper edge of the fabric. Pull the right corner tie through the buttonhole and keep it taut. Wrap the left corner around your body until it reaches the buttonhole, then tie both ties together into a single bow. Adjust the skirt for a comfortable fit; it should rest snugly against your waist or hips without pinching or feeling loose. If necessary, untie and readjust until you achieve the perfect fit.
The Story Behind the Garment
This unique piece began its journey with a blue tablecloth adorned with white embroidered flowers, discovered on Etsy from Anne Marie. The intricate floral patterns and hand-stitched details immediately caught my eye. Anne Marie's shared the tablecloth’s history and the many family gatherings it had witnessed. Inspired by this beautiful story, I decided to give the fabric new life.
Back in our studio, I envisioned a one-of-a-kind skirt that blends vintage charm with modern elegance. I spent several days planning a design that would fit a range of body types, ultimately creating a one-size wrap skirt. Incorporating pleats, a detail I love to work with, added sophistication and enhanced the fabric's natural drape.
The Melidia skirt, named after my daughters Melina and Lydia who approved the design, features two sets of adjustable ties and an elasticated back waistband to ensure a comfortable fit for sizes XS to Large. Meticulously crafted pleats on the front add a chic, flowing silhouette. Perfect for pairing with your favorite tops, this skirt combines timeless charm with contemporary flair, making it a versatile and stylish addition to your wardrobe.
The result is a one-of-a-kind, wearable art piece that I am incredibly proud of. The abstract pleats and the intricate pocket detail create a beautiful, flowing silhouette.
Reworked with love in our new studio, this garment is a testament to the timeless beauty of vintage craftsmanship and modern creativity.
