FAQs

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Viscose Twill fabric.

How do I wash the skirt?

The skirt is machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleaching. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a medium heat setting, preferably inside out.

Does the stain-resistant finish require special care?

No, the stain-resistant finish is designed to work with regular washing. For tougher stains, pre-treatment before washing is recommended.

How does the internal waist adjuster work?

The internal waist adjuster typically consists of elastic and buttons or toggles inside the waistband, allowing you to cinch the waist for a more secure and comfortable fit.

Are the pleats permanent?

Yes, the pleats are described as 'stitch down permanent pleats', meaning they are designed to stay in place through washing and normal wear.

What sizes are available for this black skirt?

This specific listing is for Size: W28 L22. Trutex offers a wide range of sizes, and other sizes and colors may be available separately.

Can this skirt be dry-cleaned?

Troubleshooting

Skirt not fitting correctly

Adjust the internal waist adjuster for a tighter or looser fit. If significant adjustment is needed, consider if a different size is more appropriate.

Pleats losing shape after washing

Ensure the skirt is washed according to care instructions. For best results, iron while damp on a medium heat setting, paying attention to the pleats. Using a fabric stiffener can also help maintain pleat crispness.

Stains not coming out easily

While stain-resistant, some heavy or set-in stains may require pre-treatment. Apply a mild stain remover before washing, following the product's instructions and the skirt's care label.

Zip is difficult to use

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently move the zip up and down. If the zip continues to be stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zip teeth.
