Custom O'odham skirts, made one at a time

Desert Skirt Co. makes custom O'odham skirts to order. Here is who is behind the work and how each garment is put together.

Desert Skirt Co. is a small, owner-run business. Every skirt is cut and sewn individually, starting with a direct conversation about your measurements, the length you prefer, and the look you want.

Because the work is made to order, there is room to adjust fit and detail before anything is finished. Questions about your order are answered directly by the person making it.

Each skirt is made from a cotton blend chosen for everyday wear and repeated washing, so the fabric holds its shape over time.

Ribbon borders are sewn straight and even, keeping the hem clean and the finished edge consistent from one garment to the next.

Waistbands are reinforced so the skirt stays secure through regular use. Fit is checked against your measurements before the garment is finished.

Every order starts with your measurements, so the skirt is built to fit you rather than to a standard size chart.
