FAQs

Is this skirt machine washable?

No, due to the silk composition and studded hardware, this garment must be professionally dry cleaned.

How long is the skirt?

This midi-length skirt measures approximately 83cm in length.

Does the skirt fit true to size?

Yes, it is designed to follow standard UK sizing; however, since it is a tailored fit, we recommend consulting the brand's size guide before purchasing.

Can I wear this in the summer?

Silk crepe is a breathable fabric, making it suitable for warmer seasons, though the structured lining adds some weight for professional settings.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, this skirt is available in both Red and Black colorways.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their crispness

Take the skirt to a professional dry cleaner for steam pressing to reset the structural pleats.

Studs catching on delicate fabrics

Ensure that tops worn with the skirt are made of smooth, sturdy fabrics to prevent snagging on the waistband hardware.

Hem appears uneven

The hem is intentionally asymmetric by design; ensure the skirt is aligned correctly at the waist to keep the intended slope in the correct position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated design suitable for professional and formal environments
  • High-quality lining ensures a smooth, comfortable fit
  • Unique asymmetric hem adds a contemporary fashion-forward detail
  • Structured silhouette maintains its shape throughout the day

  • Silk material requires careful handling and maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this skirt is made from silk, it is essential to follow specific care instructions to ensure longevity.

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the silk crepe, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to protect both the fabric and the studded waistband hardware.
  2. Storage: Hang the skirt on a proper skirt hanger using the internal loops to prevent the waistband from stretching or the pleats from distorting.
  3. Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with tucked-in lightweight knitwear or tailored shirts. Avoid pairing with bulky oversized sweaters that may interfere with the structured pleat line at the waist.
  4. Handling: Store away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, especially in the vibrant red variant.
