Over the years, the market size of women's and girls' dresses, skirts, and divided skirts of textile fabrics not knitted or crocheted in Ireland has experienced fluctuations. From 2013 to 2019, the market saw a declining trend, reaching its lowest during 2020 with a noticeable dip attributed perhaps to economic and market conditions. A recovery occurred in 2021, with a significant year-on-year increase of over 15%.
