Product Information
Full details
The Erika Maxi Skirt by By Malene Birger is designed for the adult female seeking a versatile and elegant addition to her wardrobe, perfect for transitioning from day to evening wear. Its key benefit lies in its luxurious satin material and vintage-inspired lace trims, offering a flattering fluid silhouette. A potential caveat is the satin's delicate nature, requiring careful handling and care to maintain its sheen and integrity. This skirt features a floor-sweeping length, a relaxed drape, and a lustrous finish, making it suitable for both casual styling with a t-shirt or dressing up for occasions with the matching top.

Troubleshooting
Satin appears dull or loses its sheen.
Ensure the skirt is not exposed to direct heat or harsh chemicals. If hand washing, use only cold water and a mild detergent. Professional dry cleaning is the best way to preserve the luster.
Lace trims are snagged or damaged.
Handle with extreme care during wear and washing. If snagged, try to gently pull the fabric back into place. For damage, professional repair may be necessary.
Skirt has wrinkles from storage.
Hang the skirt on a padded hanger. Use a cool iron on the reverse side or a garment steamer on a low setting to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct ironing on the lace.
