FAQs

What occasions is this skirt suitable for?

The Alva Cotton Maxi Skirt is versatile and can be styled for various occasions, from casual daytime outings to more formal events like garden parties or dinners, depending on how it's paired with tops and accessories.

How should I care for the 100% cotton fabric?

It requires a delicate machine wash. It's best to wash it in cold water, on a gentle cycle, and lay it flat or tumble dry on low heat. Iron on a low setting if needed.

What kind of tops pair well with this skirt?

It pairs well with a variety of tops, including simple t-shirts, blouses, camisoles, and knit sweaters. The choice depends on the desired look and occasion.

Does the tiered detailing add a lot of bulk?

The tiered detailing is designed to create a voluminous silhouette with fluid movement, rather than excessive bulk. It contributes to the skirt's romantic and flowing appearance.

Is the skirt true to size?

Based on standard sizing, the skirt is designed to fit true to size. Referencing a size guide if available and checking customer reviews can provide further insight.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Iron on a low setting while the fabric is slightly damp. Ensure you are using the delicate wash cycle and not overloading the washing machine.

Fabric feels stiff after drying.

Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid using harsh detergents. A gentle shake out after washing can also help.

Color seems to fade after a few washes.

Wash the skirt inside out in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid exposing the garment to direct sunlight for extended periods when drying.
