Choose Your Fabric

All our garments incorporate an insert or lining of printed cotton. Below is our current range of printed cotton.

We have not included pictures of the accompanying fabric, however we have a wide range of colours in cord and denim. We also have cotton twill, but the colours are more limited. If you have an extra special request, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

All of the fabric below is imported from Japan and is high quality 100% cotton.

I have included my phone in most of the photos below to give an indication of the print size.


Green Paisley - This print would work well with a bright colour such as red or orange and would also work well with denim.


Brown Circles - This 70's inspired print would work well with a beige, brown or olive green. It would also go well with denim. The large print works best with the Danielle skirt.


Green Wavy Lines - This print would work well with bottle green, a bright colour or denim.


Blue and White Paisley - We apologise for the quality of this photo, it is a little blurry. This print would work well with white, a bright colour such as red or denim.


Orange and Yellow Flowers - This print would work well with black or denim.


Blue Maze - This 70's inspired print would work well with a bright colour such as red or with denim. The larger print works best in the Danielle skirt.


Blue and Black Small Print - This cute print would work well with red or maroon, but also suits blue, black or denim.


Black Hearts - This 60's inspired print would work well with black or denim as well as a bright colour such as red.


Black and White Psychedelic - This print also works well with black, denim or a bright colour.


Black Planets - This print would work well with black or denim, or you could also choose to match one of the colours in the print.

Pleases Note - Wherever possible, we have tried to photograph the fabric to accurately reflect its true colours. However it may not be perfect. Please take this into consideration when making your choice.

As we purchase our material upon receiving an order, we cannot 100% guarantee that your choice will be available. If this does occur, we will contact you to discuss further.

Thanks!

How To Measure Yourself

We currently offer our garments as made to order. Therefore you need to submit your measurements to us. Below is a description of the measurements required for skirts, pants and shorts.

SKIRTS/PANTS/SHORTS
Waistline - the narrowest part of your torso.
First Hip - where your stomach is the largest.
Second Hip - where your hips (bum) are the largest.

PANTS/SHORTS
Crotch - from front of waistline between legs to back of waistline.
Length - Outer seam - from natural waistline down outer leg to desired length.
Length - Inner seam - from crotch seam down inner leg to desired length (in bare feet).
Top of Thigh - Around 1 leg at the largest part of the thigh.

For pictorial representation of the above measurements please go to the following website: 'Measurements'

Also please note - when you wrap the measuring tape make sure it is not too tight or too loose. There should be no gap between the tape and the body, but the tape should not sink into the skin at all.

We accept measurements in centimetres or inches, please email us at smokeyfashion@gmail.com.

If you have any trouble with your measurements, please contact us as we may be able to help.

These short shorts have a 4 inch wasitband (~10 cm) and cuffed bottoms. They have a hidden side zipper.

Our trademark printed cotton can be found lining the waistband as well as on the cuffs.

The cuffs can be ordered so that they can fold down to hide the printed cotton.

The 'Emily' pants have a wide 4 inch (~10 cm) waistband and a hidden side zipper. The bottoms of the legs are scalloped.

These funky pants are the master of subtle detail. Our trademark printed cotton lines the inside of the scallops at the bottom of the leg and the inside of the of the waistband.

These pants could be made shorter to a three-quarter length or even to the knee for a pair of cool shorts.
