FAQs

What is the length of this skirt?

The midi length of this skirt is approximately 83cm.

Is the fabric machine washable?

It is recommended to check the specific care tag on your garment, but due to the structured pleats, professional dry cleaning is advised to maintain shape.

Does the waist have any stretch?

The skirt is made from a compact stretch fabric, which offers comfort, though it is designed to maintain a tailored, structured fit at the waist.

Can I wear this in a professional environment?

Yes, the sophisticated cut and length make it an excellent choice for a professional, office-appropriate outfit.

What should I do if the gold button becomes loose?

Carefully reinforce the stitching on the back of the button, or take it to a professional tailor to ensure the hardware is properly secured without damaging the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their crisp edge

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to have the pleats professionally pressed.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a vertical garment steamer to gently release creases without crushing the pleated structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, versatile aesthetic suitable for multiple occasions
  • Stretch fabrication provides excellent comfort for all-day wear
  • Structured design retains shape well during movement
  • Modern take on a timeless, classic kilt silhouette

Cons

  • Requires specific garment care to maintain pleated integrity
  • Midi length may require adjustments depending on individual height
  • Gold-tone hardware necessitates careful washing to prevent scratching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your skirt, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the skirt on a proper garment hanger, ideally using the interior loops to prevent the pleats from stretching or distorting.
  2. Cleaning: Always refer to the internal care label. Given the structured nature of the knife pleats, professional dry cleaning is often the safest method to preserve the sharpness of the pleating.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer from a distance. Avoid applying direct high heat to the decorative gold-tone button.
  4. Styling Compatibility: The cream colorway coordinates well with neutral palettes, navies, and deep autumnal tones, making it highly compatible with existing business-casual wardrobes.
