FAQs

Can I iron this skirt at home?

It is not recommended to iron this skirt at home. Because it is made of silk and features complex pleating, high heat can damage the fabric fibers and ruin the shape of the pleats.

What is the best way to store the skirt?

Store the skirt hanging vertically on a skirt hanger to ensure the pleats remain crisp and do not develop unwanted wrinkles.

Does the skirt run true to size?

The skirt is designed as a tailored piece; please refer to the UK sizing standard (e.g., size 18) to ensure a proper fit at the waist, where the skirt is most structured.

Is the material heavy?

While the crepe silk has a substantial, high-quality feel, it is designed to move gracefully and is not overly heavy or cumbersome to wear.

Can I wear this in the winter?

Yes, it is highly suitable for autumn and winter when styled with tights, a long-sleeve knit, and knee-high boots.

Troubleshooting

Pleats appear flattened or messy

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in pleated items to have the pleats professionally steam-pressed.

Small snag or pull in the silk fabric

Do not pull at the thread. Take the garment to a professional tailor to have the fiber carefully re-woven or secured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and professional aesthetic
  • Versatile length works well with both boots and heels
  • High-quality lining ensures a smooth silhouette
  • Contemporary design twist on a classic style

Cons

  • Dry clean only due to silk material
  • Requires careful storage to maintain pleat structure
  • Less forgiving fabric compared to synthetic blends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made from fine silk, care should be taken to preserve the structured pleats. Always hang the skirt using a proper skirt hanger with clips that do not leave permanent marks on the waistband. Due to the delicate nature of the crepe silk, this item is dry-clean only; do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as this will ruin the pleat memory and fabric drape. For compatibility, this piece fits best with streamlined footwear, such as knee-high heeled boots or classic pointed-toe heels, to complement the skirt's midi length and asymmetrical design.
