FAQs
What occasions is this skirt suitable for?
The Alva Maxi Skirt is highly versatile. It can be worn for casual daytime events, elevated for evening occasions, or styled for a relaxed office environment, depending on how you pair it with other clothing and accessories.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide for Phase Eight. Generally, for skirts, measure your waist and hip circumference and compare it to the chart provided. This model is a UK size 18.
Is the skirt see-through?
The skirt is made of 100% cotton and features a full maxi length with tiered detailing. While cotton offers good coverage, wearing dark or heavy undergarments might be visible in very bright light. Nude or matching undergarments are recommended for optimal coverage.
Can I wear this skirt in different seasons?
Yes, the breathable cotton makes it suitable for spring and summer. For autumn and winter, it can be layered with tights, boots, and warmer knitwear or jackets.
How do I store the skirt to prevent wrinkles?
Hanging the skirt on a padded hanger is the best way to store it. Avoid folding it tightly, as this can create creases. If folding is necessary, do so loosely.
What kind of tops work best with this skirt?
Fitted tops, camisoles, t-shirts, and blouses that can be tucked in or partially tucked work well to balance the volume of the skirt. Cropped tops can also create a stylish silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears wrinkled after washing
Ensure you are using the delicate cycle and cool water. Try line drying immediately after washing. If wrinkles persist, iron on a low heat setting or steam the garment.
Color seems faded
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cool water. Avoid exposing the garment to direct sunlight for extended periods while drying, as this can cause fading.
Fabric feels stiff
This can sometimes happen with 100% cotton. Try a gentle machine wash again, possibly with a fabric softener on the rinse cycle, and line dry. Ensure no harsh detergents were used.
