FAQs

What type of occasions is this skirt suitable for?

This skirt is ideal for formal events, office wear, and general business attire due to its sophisticated midi length and tailored design.

How does the elasticated waistband work?

Elastic sections are incorporated into the hip area of the waistband. This provides flexibility and a more comfortable, adaptable fit compared to a traditional non-stretch waistband.

Will the back vent allow for easy movement?

Yes, the 8" (20cm) open vent at the back is specifically designed to allow you to sit and bend comfortably without feeling restricted.

What is the material of the skirt?

The skirt is made from a medium-weight, soft suiting-type wool blend material.

How long is the skirt?

The front length of the skirt measures between 27" and 28" (69-71 cm), placing it at a midi length that rests below the knee.

What are the care instructions for this wool skirt?

Due to the wool composition, it is generally recommended to dry clean the skirt. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment for the most accurate instructions.

Does the skirt come in other colours or sizes?

This particular listing is for the Red, Size 22. The Paulo Due Tailored Midi Pencil Skirt is available in other colours and sizes, such as Beige and Plaid patterns, and various UK dress sizes.

Troubleshooting

Skirt feels tight around the waist.

The elasticated sections in the waistband are designed for an easier fit. Ensure the size selected is correct. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider consulting a tailor for minor adjustments or exploring larger sizes.

Creases are difficult to remove.

Follow the recommended care instructions. For wool, a garment steamer is often more effective than a traditional iron. If using an iron, set it to a low 'wool' setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric, possibly with a pressing cloth.

Lining feels stiff or uncomfortable.

The premium lining should provide a smooth feel. If it feels unusually stiff, ensure the garment has been cared for according to instructions, as improper washing can affect fabric feel.

Back vent seems restrictive.

The vent is designed to provide ease of movement. Ensure it is properly aligned and not caught on anything. If it consistently feels restrictive, the skirt may be too tight overall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and sophisticated design suitable for formal and business settings.
  • Comfortable fit due to elasticated waistband sections and back vent.
  • High-quality wool material offers a premium feel and look.
  • Versatile length appropriate for various professional and formal occasions.
  • Designed to flatter a range of body types.

Cons

  • Wool material may require specialized cleaning (e.g., dry cleaning).
  • May not be suitable for very warm weather due to the medium weight fabric.
  • As a pencil skirt, it may restrict movement more than an A-line style, despite the vent.
  • Specific care instructions need to be followed to maintain fabric quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the correct size is selected for the best fit.

Compatibility: This skirt is designed as a wardrobe staple that pairs well with a variety of tops, blouses, knitwear, and footwear, from formal heels to smart flats.

Care Instructions: Given the wool material, it is recommended to follow the care label precisely. Generally, this would involve:

  • Dry Clean Only: To preserve the fabric's texture and shape.
  • Cool Iron: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: Avoid machine drying to prevent shrinkage or damage.
  • Wash Separately: If hand washing is permitted (check label), do so with similar colours.
