FAQs
Is the skirt true to size?
The skirt follows standard UK tailoring; refer to the brand's size guide to ensure the tailored waist fit aligns with your measurements.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
Due to the metallic hardware and delicate draping, it is strongly advised to dry clean or follow the specific care instructions on the internal label.
Does the hardware affect the fit?
The gold-tone safety pin serves as both a decorative element and a functional detail that helps keep the wrap construction in place.
What top styles go best with this skirt?
Fitted tops like roll-necks or tucked-in blouses work best to balance the volume of the cascading drape.
Is the fabric heavy?
The polyester is chosen for a balance of structure and drape; it is substantial enough to hang well but not overly heavy for general wear.
What colors does this style come in?
This model is available in classic black and a bold red variant, catering to both neutral and statement-focused wardrobes.
Troubleshooting
Hardware looks dull after time
Gently buff the gold-tone metal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to restore its natural sheen.
Fabric appearing wrinkled after travel
Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for several minutes or use a low-heat garment steamer from a safe distance.
Skirt wrap feeling loose
The wrap is designed to be tailored; ensure the internal closure buttons or hooks are securely fastened before securing the exterior hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your skirt, always check the garment’s interior care label first. Given the polyester composition and the presence of gold-tone hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the drape and the finish of the metal accents. If washing at home, use a delicate garment bag to prevent the safety pin hardware from snagging on other items or causing damage to the fabric. Store the skirt on a skirt hanger using the internal loops to maintain the waist structure. For styling, it is compatible with a wide range of footwear, from pointed-toe pumps for formal settings to sleek ankle boots for a more modern, seasonal aesthetic.
