FAQs

Is this skirt true to size?

The skirt is designed with a structured, tailored fit; it is recommended to consult the size guide for a UK size 16 to ensure the hip measurement aligns with your body.

Can I wear this to a graduation ceremony?

Yes, the sophisticated silhouette and polished finish make it an ideal choice for formal events like graduations.

How should I clean the satin fabric?

This garment requires professional dry cleaning to protect the integrity of the fabric and the tailored drape.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The skirt is constructed for a tailored, structured fit, so it has limited stretch compared to jersey or knit materials.

What kind of top works best with this skirt?

Fitted tops, such as bodysuits or tailored camisoles, work best to accentuate the gathered waistband and maintain the clean lines of the silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Gently steam using a garment steamer from a safe distance; never use a hot iron directly on the satin.

Hem dragging on the ground

Consider wearing shoes with a higher heel or consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted.

Static cling affecting the drape

Use a light mist of anti-static spray on the inside of the skirt or use a static guard cloth before wearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expertly tailored for a flattering, figure-skimming fit
  • Sophisticated fishtail design offers elegant motion
  • High-sheen satin finish creates a premium, formal look
  • Versatile enough for weddings, galas, and graduations

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning only
  • Delicate fabric prone to snags if not handled carefully
  • Fishtail hem may require adjustment depending on footwear height

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your skirt remains in pristine condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the skirt on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder or waistline distortion. Ensure it is stored in a breathable garment bag to protect the satin from dust and potential snags.
  2. Steaming: If the skirt arrives with minor wrinkles from transit, use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting. Keep the steamer at a distance to avoid water spotting the satin.
  3. Cleaning: This garment is made of premium satin and is strictly professional dry clean only. Avoid home washing, as water and standard detergents may ruin the drape and sheen.
  4. Styling: Match with minimalist jewelry to allow the architectural waistband to remain the focal point of your ensemble.
