Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the waistband adjustable?

The waistband is made of elastic, which provides a flexible fit but is not manually adjustable with drawstrings or buttons.

What is the material composition?

The skirt is constructed from high-quality lightweight fabric chosen for its ability to hold pleats while remaining comfortable.

Can I put this skirt in the dryer?

It is not recommended to use a tumble dryer. Air drying is the best way to maintain the integrity of the pleats and the ruffle hem.

Does this skirt require a slip?

The fabric is designed to be opaque, but if you prefer extra coverage or a smoother drape, a lightweight slip can be worn underneath.

How do I choose the right size?

This variant is a UK size 12. Because of the elastic waist, it offers some flexibility, but we recommend checking the brand's standard size chart for precise waist and hip measurements.

Troubleshooting

Pleats look flattened or wrinkled

Use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance to gently relax the fibers and restore the pleats.

Hem feels too long or catches on shoes

Pair with shoes that provide a slight lift, or consult a professional tailor to have the hem adjusted to your specific height.

Static cling making the fabric stick to legs

Lightly mist the inside of the skirt with a fabric-safe anti-static spray or use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner lining.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable elastic waist provides a flexible fit
  • Flowy silhouette is flattering and allows for easy movement
  • Sophisticated design details like pleats and ruffles
  • Suitable for multiple seasons and styling options

Cons

  • Maxi length is prone to collecting dirt at the hem
  • Pleated fabric requires careful storage to maintain shape
  • May require hemming if the wearer is shorter than average

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Apricot pleated maxi skirt in excellent condition, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water or use a delicate machine cycle with a mesh garment bag to protect the pleats.
  2. Drying: Air dry by laying the skirt flat or hanging it vertically to maintain the pleat structure; avoid tumble drying as high heat can damage the pleat finish.
  3. Storage: Hang the skirt on a skirt hanger using the interior loops, or fold it gently if drawer space is limited. Avoid pressing heavy items on top of the pleats.
  4. Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer from a distance to remove wrinkles, ensuring you do not flatten the pleat design.
