FAQs

What is the best way to clean this skirt?

For best results and to maintain the skirt's structure and fabric quality, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.

How should I iron this skirt?

Iron on a medium heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. Steam ironing can be effective for removing creases. Ensure the skirt is completely dry before ironing.

What occasions is this skirt suitable for?

This skirt is versatile. It's suitable for professional settings like the office, as well as smart-casual events such as lunches, dinners, or gallery visits.

What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is crafted from 100% cotton, providing a crisp and structured drape.

How long is the skirt?

The midi length falls approximately 85cm from the waist.

Does the skirt have pockets?

Yes, it features practical patch pockets at the hip, echoing classic outerwear detailing.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide for accurate measurements. The structured waist belt allows for some adjustment, but selecting the correct size based on waist and hip measurements is crucial.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled after wear.

Hang the skirt immediately after wearing. If significant wrinkles persist, use a medium-heat iron on the reverse side, or consider professional dry cleaning.

Belt buckle is stiff or difficult to adjust.

Gently work the buckle back and forth. Avoid forcing it. If stiffness persists, consult a tailor or dry cleaner for potential lubrication or adjustment.

Fabric feels stiff.

This is characteristic of 100% structured cotton. The fabric will soften slightly with wear, but its crispness is a key design feature. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.

Pleats are losing their definition.

Ensure the skirt is dry cleaned or ironed following the care instructions. Proper hanging and storage will help maintain pleat structure.
