FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for non-petite individuals?
This garment is specifically engineered with an 89cm length for a petite frame. It may appear significantly shorter on individuals who are not petite.
What is the material composition?
The skirt is constructed from a high-quality polyester-based knit, chosen for its durability and texture.
Can I tuck a thick sweater into this skirt?
While the high waist allows for tucking, a bulky sweater might create unnecessary volume at the waistline. Slim-fit tops are recommended to maintain the skirt's intended silhouette.
How should I store the skirt to keep the pleats perfect?
It is best to hang the skirt using the provided internal hanger loops. If folding, ensure it is placed on top of other garments to prevent creasing the pleats.
Does the waistband have any stretch?
The fitted waistband is designed to provide a secure, defined silhouette while offering enough flexibility for a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crisp edge
Avoid high-heat ironing. If necessary, use a handheld steamer from a distance to gently restore shape, but never press the iron directly onto the knit pleats.
Fabric snagging
Ensure that jewelry or sharp accessories do not come into direct contact with the textured knit surface during wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this skirt is a finely knitted, pleated item, proper care is essential to preserve the pleats and fabric texture.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Always follow the care label. Due to the delicate nature of the fine knit and pleated construction, hand washing or a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag is recommended.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying, which can damage the pleats and synthetic fibers. Lay flat on a drying rack to maintain the skirt's shape.
- Storage: Store by hanging on a skirt hanger using the internal loops, or fold carefully. Avoid long-term compression under heavy garments, as this can flatten the knife pleats.
