Serena is an adorable high-rise knit athletic skort. The skirt pieces are open on the sides with a petal hem that flashes a little peek of the shorties as you move about. You can tack down the sides for more coverage if desired. Both skirt front and back pieces are curved, and the back is longer than the front for coverage as you move. The shorties are attached and have an optional side patch pocket. Choose from 3 skirt hemline lengths: mini, mid, or full length. It also includes 3 waistband options: a short or tall yoga waistband, and a contour waistband. These are perfect for gymnastics or dance class, tennis, as swim bottoms or everyday wear as an adorable skort.
