Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt sits at a midi length of approximately 83cm.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Due to the structured nature of the pleats and the gold-tone hardware, professional dry cleaning or gentle hand washing is advised to maintain quality.

Does the skirt have a lot of stretch?

Yes, it is made from a compact stretch fabrication designed to balance structure with flexibility.

Can I wear this in a professional environment?

Absolutely; the structured tailoring and modest midi length make it highly appropriate for office settings.

Does the gold-tone button require special cleaning?

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the button; a soft, dry cloth is sufficient to restore its shine.

Troubleshooting

Pleats appear flattened after storage

Hang the skirt in a warm, humid environment (like a bathroom after a shower) to allow the steam to relax the fibers, or use a handheld steamer from a distance.

Wrap panel feels loose

Ensure the internal fastenings are fully secured. If the fit remains loose, consider a professional tailor to adjust the hook-and-eye or button placement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stretch-enhanced fabric maintains a structured shape without sacrificing comfort.
  • Versatile design transitions easily from professional boardroom settings to evening events.
  • Asymmetric hem and pleat detailing provide a unique, modern aesthetic.
  • Tailored fit offers a clean, polished silhouette.

Cons

  • Requires specific styling of tops to avoid cluttering the wrap-front design.
  • The midi length may need to be paired with heels to maintain flattering proportions for all heights.
  • Dry cleaning or careful hand laundering is recommended to protect the gold-tone button and pleat structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep this garment in optimal condition, treat it as a tailored piece. The skirt features a secure wrap closure that should be checked for tension before wear to ensure the pleats sit correctly.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always consult the internal care label for specific material guidelines.
  2. Avoid machine washing on high-heat cycles to prevent damage to the stretch fibers or the gold-tone button finish.
  3. Hang vertically to allow the weight of the fabric to naturally release any minor creases in the pleats.
  4. If ironing is required, use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer held at a distance to protect the integrity of the fabric structure.
