FAQs

What type of occasions is this skirt best suited for?

The skirt is highly versatile, suitable for both professional office environments and formal events. It can also be dressed down for sophisticated evening wear.

How does the sizing run for this skirt?

The skirt features a tailored fit designed to contour elegantly to the form. It is recommended to consult a size guide or consider trying it on if possible, especially given the specific UK 14 sizing.

Can this skirt be machine washed?

Due to the silk material and tailored construction, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is advised to maintain the quality and shape of the garment.

What does the "tailored pencil midi skirt" description mean?

This describes the silhouette: 'Tailored' implies precise construction, 'pencil' refers to a slim, form-fitting cut that tapers towards the hem, and 'midi' indicates the length falls below the knee but above the ankle.

How can I style this skirt for a professional look?

Pair it with a crisp blouse, a tailored blazer, and court shoes. Ensure the blouse is neatly tucked in to maintain the clean lines of the high-waisted design.

What are the primary materials used?

The skirt is primarily made from silk and includes a touch of elastane for comfort and shape retention.

Does the front split affect the skirt's modesty for professional settings?

The front split is designed to add movement and a contemporary edge. When seated or walking, it typically provides modest coverage, but personal comfort levels may vary.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the skirt on a cool setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed.

Fabric feels stiff or has lost its drape.

This may indicate improper cleaning. Professional dry cleaning is the best method to restore the fabric's feel.

Front split is not lying flat.

Ensure the skirt is correctly ironed on a cool setting from the reverse side. A light steam may also help.
