FAQs
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, because this garment is crafted from silk, it should be dry cleaned only to prevent damage.
Does the skirt run true to size?
The skirt follows standard UK women's sizing. It is designed for a high-rise fit, so ensure you measure your waist at its narrowest point.
Is the material heavy?
The skirt is lined and structured, which gives it a significant, high-quality weight that helps it drape elegantly rather than feeling flimsy.
Can I wear this in winter?
While the floral print is often associated with spring or summer, the black base makes it versatile enough for formal evening events year-round when styled with appropriate layers.
What is the exact length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate midi length of 95cm from the waistband to the hem.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing upon removal from packaging
Gently steam the skirt from the inside or use a cool setting on an iron to carefully smooth out the pleats.
Pleats losing their crisp structure
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner and request a press; do not attempt to re-pleat the silk manually at home.
Minor snags in the silk fabric
Do not pull at the thread. Carefully trim any loose ends with small, sharp fabric scissors or seek professional repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this skirt is made from high-quality silk, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan.
- Storage: Always store on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the box pleats and prevent unnecessary creasing.
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the silk, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of the floral print.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron or a garment steamer on a low setting if you need to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct, high-heat contact with the fabric.
- Handling: Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or rough surfaces that could cause pulls or snags in the silk fibers.
