FAQs
Is the material machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the faux leather finish.
Does the material have any stretch?
The faux leather used in this design is structured and offers minimal to no stretch, so choosing the correct size is vital.
What is the length of the skirt?
It is a midi-length design, typically intended to hit around the mid-calf area.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While it is a versatile piece, faux leather is non-breathable and is generally better suited for cooler or transitional weather.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the skirt is designed with functional side pockets for practical daily use.
Should I size up for comfort?
If you are between sizes, it is often safer to size up with structured faux leather garments to ensure comfort when sitting.
Troubleshooting
Creases in the material
Hang the skirt in a warm room (not near a direct heat source) to allow the material to relax, or use a steamer on a very low setting from a distance.
Stiffness when wearing
Ensure you have the correct size; if the waist or hips are too tight, the material will feel more restrictive. Consider wearing seamless undergarments to improve the fit and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this skirt is made from faux leather, proper care is essential to maintain its finish. To ensure longevity, store the skirt hanging on a skirt hanger rather than folding it to prevent permanent creases in the material. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the item is completely dry before storing in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the material to crack or fade over time. For sizing, refer to the UK standard sizing guidelines, as the structured faux leather does not provide the same "give" as jersey or knit fabrics.
