Ona Bubble Midi Skirt
A high-waisted mermaid maxi skirt in handwoven cotton and silk thread, with a full gathered ruffle at the hem.
The skirt is cut to follow the body - fitted through the waist and hips, then flaring dramatically into a gathered ruffle. Silk thread runs through the handwoven cotton weave, a subtle shimmer that deepens in the light. Worn alone or as a set with the Ona Top, it is a skirt built for a room. Handcrafted in Nigeria by Kíléntár's artisans.
STRUCTURE: Fitted through the waist and hips with no stretch. Please check the garment measurements carefully before ordering. If you are between sizes, size up.
FABRIC CARE: Dry clean recommended. Do not tumble dry. Iron on reverse at low heat only. Store hanging.

BEFORE YOU ORDER
Is the Ona Skirt true to size?
The Ona Skirt is fitted through the waist and hips and does not stretch — if you are between sizes, size up. Measurements are taken of the garment itself, laid flat, in inches, so measure yourself and compare against the size guide at kilentar.com/pages/size-chart before ordering.
Is the Ona Skirt lined?
Partially. The fitted body section is fully lined, and the lining sits against the skin through the hip and thigh. The gathered ruffle at the hem is unlined, keeping its movement light. If you have questions about coverage through the ruffle, contact us before ordering.
How do I care for the Ona Skirt?
Dry clean recommended. Never tumble dry. If pressing is needed, iron on the reverse at low heat only to protect the silk thread in the weave. Store the skirt hanging so the fitted body keeps its line and the gathered ruffle falls freely.
How long does it take to make the Ona Skirt?
Each Ona Skirt is handcrafted in Nigeria by Kíléntár's artisans, from cotton handwoven with silk thread. Please allow [LEAD TIME] for your piece to be made before dispatch. We ship to more than 15 countries worldwide, and shipping time is additional to the making period.
Does the Ona Skirt come in plus sizes?
Yes. The Ona Skirt is available in sizes UK 4–24 / US 0–20, cut to the same fitted mermaid silhouette in every size. The fabric is non-stretch, so measure against our size guide before ordering.

KÍLÉNTÁR CARE GUIDE
Every Kíléntár piece is handcrafted - woven, dyed, beaded, or stitched by artisans across West Africa - and each material carries its own way of being kept. Cared for properly, these are pieces made to last and to be passed on. Below you'll find care guidance by material. Most of our garments combine two or more: where they do, always follow the gentlest instruction. The care line on each product page states the final word for that piece, and if you're ever unsure, write to us at hello@kilentar.com - we're happy to advise.
- Handwoven cotton & silk thread (Faso Dan Fani)
Dry clean recommended. Do not tumble dry. Iron on reverse at low heat only, or steam. Store hanging to preserve the weave's structure.
- Raffia (dyed fringe)
Steam only - never iron raffia directly; direct heat damages the dyed fibres. Hang to store and never fold the fringe layers. If fringe arrives compressed from shipping, hang for a few hours and steam gently.
- Beadwork (glass, resin & metallic beads)
Dry clean only - do not hand wash. Store flat or hanging without compressing the beaded surface. Dress with care and keep away from sharp jewellery, zips, and bags that can snag threads.
- Shells & cowries
Dry clean only. Store hanging on a padded hanger - shell-embellished pieces carry real weight. Avoid crushing under other garments; handle gently when dressing.
- Vintage & deadstock lace
Hand wash cold or dry clean - beaded lace is dry clean only and should never touch water. Do not tumble dry. Steam rather than ironing lace directly. Store hanging or flat.
- Chiffon
Dry clean. Steam on low to release creases. Store hanging.
- Tulle, net & mesh
Dry clean recommended. Steam gently or iron on low heat. Hang to store.
- Satin
Dry clean. Steam on low; avoid direct high heat, which marks the surface.
- Silk & hand-dyed àdìrẹ
Dry clean only. Steam on low heat. Hand-dyed pieces should never be soaked - dye placements are unique to each garment. Store flat or on padded hangers.
- Wool & stove-wool fringe
Dry clean only. Steam gently. Store folded or hanging with room - never compress fringe.
- Tassels (cotton & shimmer)
Steam gently if tangled; never iron. Hang so tassels fall freely — do not fold. Finger-comb strands rather than brushing.
- Sequins
Dry clean recommended. No iron contact at any heat. Store hanging with space around the garment.
- Crepe
Dry clean. Steam on low heat.
- Denim (rigid, with aso oke detail)
Dry clean only to protect vintage aso oke pockets. Steam lightly.
- Tweed
Dry clean only. Steam on low heat; avoid pressure over boning channels where present.
- Plissé (pleated)
Dry clean only - pleats are heat-set and washing relaxes them. Steam very gently; never press pleats or ruffles flat.
- Gold hardware, Igba & Adinkra buttons
Keep direct heat away from buttons and plaques. No harsh cleaning products; wipe gently with a soft dry cloth.
- Corsetry & boning
Steam gently; avoid pressing directly over boning. Store hanging or flat - never fold across the boned section.
