Product Information

Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What length is the midi skirt?

The skirt is designed to fall at a sophisticated midi length, typically landing below the knee.

Is the fabric machine washable?

It is recommended to check the specific care label inside the garment, though professional dry cleaning is often preferred for tailored stretch pieces to maintain their shape.

Does the skirt offer much stretch?

The fabric is a 'compact stretch' blend, which provides a firm, structured hold rather than a loose, casual stretch.

How should I style the colour-blocked hip panels?

Keep tops tucked in or fitted to allow the architectural chevron-inspired panels to remain the focal point of your outfit.

Can this be worn for formal events?

Yes, the sophisticated tailoring makes it an excellent choice for weddings, dinners, or formal work-related events.

Troubleshooting

Visible lines from undergarments

Opt for seamless or laser-cut undergarments to ensure a smooth transition beneath the compact stretch fabric.

Wrinkling after long periods of wear

Gently steam the affected area using a garment steamer; do not use a high-heat iron directly on the contrast panels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural and flattering geometric design
  • Versatile length suitable for diverse occasions
  • Durable, body-skimming fabric composition
  • Functional movement thanks to the rear vent

Cons

  • Fitted silhouette may require specific undergarments
  • Dry clean or specialized care likely needed for fabric longevity
  • Limited stretch compared to casual jersey skirts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure this skirt retains its structured appearance, avoid excessive heat during storage or cleaning. Due to the precision tailoring, it is recommended to store this garment on a shaped clothes hanger to prevent the waistband or fabric from stretching or creasing. When cleaning, refer to the interior care label, as the compact stretch fabric and lining require specific maintenance to keep the colour blocks vibrant and the fabric smooth. If the skirt becomes wrinkled, use a garment steamer on a low setting rather than a traditional iron, holding the steamer a few inches away from the geometric panels to protect the integrity of the seams.
