Lovehoney Fierce Skirt - Black - UK 8

While the faux leather material is water-resistant and sheds light moisture, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging in water to preserve the material's integrity and finish.

The faux leather material may feel warmer and less breathable than natural fabrics. It is generally best suited for cooler temperatures or for shorter periods in warmer climates. Its 'wet-look' aesthetic can still be striking in various settings, but prolonged wear in high heat may lead to discomfort.

This specific skirt is a UK size 8. To ensure an accurate fit, measure your waist and hips and compare them to a standard UK sizing chart. As it is a curve-hugging design with limited stretch, precise measurements are key for both comfort and the desired silhouette.

With proper care, avoiding harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and abrasive cleaning, the glossy 'wet-look' finish will last. Frequent rubbing, improper cleaning, or exposure to damaging elements can dull the surface over time.

Altering faux leather can be challenging as it can tear or show needle marks easily. It is generally recommended to avoid alterations if possible. If alterations are absolutely necessary, consult a specialized tailor experienced with working on faux leather or similar delicate materials to minimize potential damage.

Faux leather, also known as pleather or vegan leather, is an artificial material made to look and feel like real leather. It is typically made from a plastic base (like polyurethane or PVC) that is coated onto a fabric backing, providing a cruelty-free and often more affordable alternative.

The criss-cross detailing on this skirt is a fixed design element and is not adjustable. It is designed to create a specific aesthetic and draw attention to the silhouette without requiring user modification.

Gently hang the skirt in a warm, humid environment (such as a bathroom after a shower) for a few hours. Do not iron directly. If creases persist, place a clean, dry towel over the skirt and very lightly press with a cool iron on the lowest setting, avoiding direct contact with the faux leather.

Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then buff with a dry, lint-free cloth to restore shine. Avoid using household cleaners or abrasive materials, which can strip the finish.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements, as faux leather has limited stretch. If discomfort persists, assess if the styling (e.g., tucking in too much fabric) is contributing to the tightness. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a larger size if available.

This could be due to humidity, product residue (like lotions or sprays), or infrequent cleaning. Gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry completely. Avoid using alcohol-based products, which can cause stickiness or damage.

Ensure the skirt is clean and dry. Sometimes, static electricity can make faux leather cling. Try wearing smooth undergarments or using a very small amount of body lotion on your legs to help the skirt slide on more easily. Always step into the skirt carefully to avoid stretching or tearing the material.
