FAQs

Is this skirt truly machine washable?

Yes, it is designed to be machine washed at 30 degrees, though using a garment bag is recommended for extra protection.

Does the waistband stretch out easily?

The elastic is designed to maintain its shape, but ensure you do not store heavy items on top of the waistband to keep it elastic.

Is the fabric transparent?

No, the skirt is fully lined to provide opacity and comfort.

What is the benefit of a bias-cut skirt?

A bias-cut skirt is cut at a 45-degree angle to the grain, which allows the fabric to stretch and drape beautifully over the body's curves.

Should I iron this skirt?

If necessary, iron on a low, cool setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or preferably use a professional garment steamer.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the item in a steamy bathroom to gently release creases without damaging the silk.

Static cling during dry weather

Lightly mist the inner lining with a static-release spray or use a small amount of fabric softener during the rinse cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering bias-cut drape
  • Comfortable elasticated waistband
  • Fully lined for quality and coverage

Cons

  • Bias-cut material may require extra care during storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your skirt, it is recommended to wash on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees using a silk-friendly detergent. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these can compromise the natural white tone and the integrity of the silk fibers. For drying, lay the garment flat to prevent the bias-cut fabric from stretching or warping while wet. When storing, fold the skirt gently or hang it using smooth, padded hangers to avoid shoulder or waistband tension. The skirt is true to size but should be handled carefully when donning to ensure the elastic remains flexible and intact.
