I&#8217;ve got two versions of the same skirt. The first one has a double-thickness hem and the second one has a regular hem. Both of them have three stripes that have approximately the same thickness.<\/p>\n<p>You can really have a lot of fun with this one, playing around with all different kinds of color combinations. How about a black, white, and black one? And an ombre version would be very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/stripesTITLE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48455\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/stripesTITLE-548x800.jpg\" alt=\"Three stripes Oliver + S Lazy Days Skirt\" width=\"548\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/stripesTITLE-548x800.jpg 548w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/stripesTITLE-188x275.jpg 188w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/stripesTITLE.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be giving you the lengths needed for each stripe.
