FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for taller women?
This model is specifically designed for those 5'3" and under; it may be too short for taller individuals.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The skirt is made of cotton with an elasticated waistband, providing flexibility at the waist, though the cotton fabric itself is non-stretch.
How do I determine if size 18 is right for me?
We recommend measuring your waist and comparing it to standard UK sizing charts to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as high heat can damage the cotton and degrade the elastic waistband.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the pockets are designed for everyday essentials, including most standard-sized smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears too long
Ensure the elastic waistband is positioned correctly at your natural waistline rather than the hips.
Fabric has wrinkles after washing
Use a light steam iron on a low cotton setting to smooth out the fabric without damaging the fibers.
Waistband feels too loose
If the skirt is a size 18, consider if you are between sizes; for a more secure fit, ensure the garment is pulled snugly to the narrowest part of the torso.
Pros and Cons

- Comfortable elasticated waistband for a custom fit
- Includes practical side pockets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt in optimal condition, machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can cause the cotton to shrink or the elastic waistband to lose its tension over time. Instead, hang the skirt to dry in a shaded area to preserve the vibrancy of the purple hue. Because the skirt is designed for a petite fit, ensure you check the size guide against your waist and hip measurements before purchase. The skirt is highly compatible with basic wardrobe essentials such as camisoles, cotton tees, and light cardigans.
