What does 'boucle' mean?
Boucle refers to a type of looped yarn or fabric that has a nubby, textured surface, creating a distinct, tactile finish.
How do I style the side split?
The side split is designed to add a modern detail and improve ease of movement. It naturally falls open as you walk and can be a subtle feature of the skirt's design.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is smooth and not caught. Gently pull the zipper up or down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the teeth might help.
Skirt feels too tight or restrictive
Check the sizing carefully against the product's measurements. The pencil silhouette is designed to be fitted; consider if a larger size would be more comfortable, or ensure the side split is positioned correctly for movement.
Boucle texture appears pulled or damaged
Avoid snagging the fabric on sharp objects. If minor pulls occur, do not cut them. Try to gently tease the thread back into place with a needle or tweezers. Follow washing instructions precisely to prevent fabric damage.
