Magic Beaded Waist Pleated Maxi Skirt
Magic · Clothing & Accessories > Skirts > Maxi Skirts
Era / Decade
2010s; based on the specific style of micro-pleating and the wide elasticated embellished waistband common in fast-fashion trends from 2012-2016.
Material
Polyester chiffon or georgette with a synthetic lining; featuring metallic or plastic seed bead/sequin embellishments on the waistband.
Condition
Good; the main body looks intact but there is visible wrinkling and potential minor snagging in the delicate pleats. The embellishment on the left side of the waistband appears slightly distorted or potentially missing beads.
Demand Level
Moderate; maxi skirts are year-round staples, but this specific 'boho-glam' style is less trendy than it was five years ago.

Description
This Magic brand maxi skirt features a classic floor-length silhouette with delicate micro-pleating throughout. The standout feature is a wide, dark waistband heavily embellished with metallic stud or bead detailing, providing a bohemian-glam aesthetic. The lightweight black fabric is semi-sheer with a shorter internal lining for coverage. Perfect for evening wear, festivals, or casual boho-chic outfits.
Key Features
Versatile black colorway, trendy micro-pleats, decorative embellished waistband that eliminates the need for a belt, and a flowy maxi length.
Authenticity Indicators
Internal brand tag marked 'Magic'; construction is typical of mass-market boutique brands. Confidence level is high as this is not a heavily faked luxury brand.
Flaws to Note
Significant wrinkling that may require professional steaming to restore pleat crispness; check for loose or missing beads on the waistband and potential pulls in the thin chiffon fabric.
