The verdict
Fit
Woven, printed construction. The polka-dot pattern and name 'Bella' suggest a feminine, possibly A-line or gathered silhouette. Model notes show it fit a size-small frame—check MOTHER sizing.
Quality
Natalie Martin is known for thoughtful prints and tailored wovens. Quality should exceed typical contemporary retail; seams and print registration should be precise.
Is the price fair?
Mid tier. $324 is reasonable for a designer-curated, printed woven skirt. The collab status and MOTHER vetting add value without luxury pricing.
Best for
A print-lover who wants to wear a recognized independent designer's work without paying haute prices.
Care
Printed wovens fade with washing; cold wash, inside-out, and hang dry to preserve the print and color.
What owners report about MOTHER skirts
Skirt-specific coverage of MOTHER is thin — most third-party reporting covers the brand's denim range as a whole, which the skirts are cut from. One reviewer who covers the skirts directly describes the mini as comfortable with a snug high-rise waist. Across the denim line, owners report fabric that holds up unusually well — no stretching out or fading after years of regular wear — but sizing that varies noticeably from style to style, with waists running small on some cuts and an overall size range reviewers call not very inclusive.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently report the denim keeps its shape and color through years of near-daily wear and washing.
- Watch out for
- Sizing inconsistency is the recurring complaint — the same person can span two sizes across styles, and some waists run small.
- Sizing
- Owners report sizing differs by style, with some waists running small, so check the per-style measurements rather than assuming your usual size.
