FAQs
Is this suit suitable for all seasons?
The polyester blend fabric makes it versatile. It's well-suited for moderate temperatures and can be layered with warmer pieces for colder weather or worn as is in warmer climates.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. The model is 5'7" (170cm) and wears a UK size 12, which can serve as a general reference point.
Can the jacket and skirt be worn separately?
Yes, the jacket and skirt are designed to be versatile and can be styled independently with other wardrobe items.
What type of material is the lining?
The jacket lining is made of 100% Polyester.
Are the pockets on the jacket functional?
Yes, the flapped slit pockets are functional and can be opened by removing the tacking stitches. There is also a decorative top pocket.
What is the length of the skirt?
The skirt is designed to sit just below the knee.
Does the skirt have pockets?
The product description does not mention pockets on the skirt; it features an invisible back zip and button fastening.
Troubleshooting
Jacket buttons feel loose
If buttons feel loose, carefully reinforce them with a needle and matching thread. Ensure the thread is strong and the knot is secure.
Skirt vent stitching unraveling
If the tacking stitches on the skirt vent are coming undone, they can be carefully removed if not desired, or re-secured with a few discreet stitches if they are meant to hold the vent in place.
Suit appears creased after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoid overcrowding the washing machine. Hang dry immediately after washing. Iron on a low heat setting, preferably while slightly damp, to remove creases.
Elasticated waistband feels tight or loose
The elasticated side waistband offers some flexibility. If it feels consistently too tight or loose, consider professional tailoring for a personalized fit.
