FAQs
What occasions is this skirt suitable for?
This skirt is highly versatile and suitable for professional settings, business meetings, formal events, weddings, and smart-casual daytime outings.
What is the length of the petite fit?
The petite fit is designed with an ideal length of 80cm.
How do I care for the skirt?
The skirt should be dry cleaned only to preserve its fabric and tailored structure. Use a cool iron on the reverse if needed.
Can I wear this skirt for everyday casual wear?
While versatile, its tailored nature and check pattern lend themselves best to smart-casual or formal occasions. It can be dressed down with knits and boots for a refined daytime look.
What does 'godet detailing' mean?
Godet detailing refers to triangular or diamond-shaped fabric inserts, typically placed in seams to add extra fullness, drape, or ease of movement to a garment. In this skirt, they create a graceful flare towards the hem.
Are the gold-tone buttons functional?
No, the gold-tone buttons down the front are decorative and add to the refined aesthetic of the skirt; they are not functional for opening or closing the garment.
What material is the skirt made from?
The skirt is made from 100% Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears too long or proportions are off.
This skirt is designed with a petite fit. If you do not have a petite frame, consider professional tailoring for alterations.
Fabric feels stiff or has lost its drape.
Ensure the skirt has been dry cleaned according to the care instructions. Avoid washing or ironing at high temperatures.
Decorative buttons become loose.
Gently secure any loose buttons using a needle and thread suitable for polyester fabric. If they detach completely, professional repair may be needed.
Minor creasing after storage.
Hang the skirt and allow it to air. If creases persist, use a cool iron on the reverse side, placing a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
