Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this suit suitable for machine washing?

Due to the structured shoulder pads and lining, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the shape.

Does the skirt have pockets?

The skirt does not have pockets; the functional pockets are located on the front of the jacket.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt is designed as a midi length, typically falling to the mid-calf depending on the wearer's height.

Can I wear the jacket and skirt separately?

Yes, the jacket pairs well with tailored trousers or denim, while the skirt can be worn with blouses or knitwear.

How do I choose the right size?

This item is listed as a UK size 12; please refer to standard Paulo Due sizing charts for specific measurements.

Is the material stretchy?

The suit features an elasticated side waistband for comfort, but the primary fabric is a structured suiting material with limited stretch.

Troubleshooting

Garment shows visible wrinkles

Use a low-heat steamer while holding the nozzle at a distance to gently release creases without damaging the lining.

Difficulty with the invisible back zip

Ensure the skirt is laid flat and that no lining fabric is caught in the zipper teeth before attempting to zip.

Buttons feel loose

Reinforce the stitching on the back of the gold buttons using a thread color that matches the black fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Coordinated two-piece set ensures a cohesive, professional look.
  • Elasticated waistband on the skirt adds significant comfort for extended wear.
  • Fully lined construction increases garment durability and quality.
  • Timeless V-neck design suitable for multiple formal occasions.
  • Back vent allows for better stride and ease of movement.

Cons

  • Zinc-based material may require specific cleaning protocols.
  • Fixed sizing may necessitate professional tailoring for a perfect fit.
  • Gold buttons are a strong style statement that may not suit every personal aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this suit is made with zinc-based materials, it is important to handle it with care to maintain the structure of the fabric and the integrity of the metallic details. Always check the garment tag for specific dry-cleaning instructions. When storing, use a padded hanger for the jacket to prevent the shoulder pads from misshaping, and use skirt hangers that clip securely to the waistband to avoid creasing. The suit is designed to be a standard UK size 12; if you find the fit slightly off in the torso or hem, consult a professional tailor to adjust the seams rather than attempting DIY alterations on the structured lining.
