FAQs
What occasions is this skirt suitable for?
The skirt is ideal for professional settings, business events, formal dinners, and sophisticated social gatherings. It can also be dressed down for smart-casual occasions.
What is the length of the midi skirt?
The midi length of the skirt is 85cm.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for bust, waist, and hips, and compare them with your own measurements. Model Romy wears a UK size 8/S and is 5'10"/179cm.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
Yes, the skirt can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a gentle cycle and follow the specific instructions on the garment's care label to preserve the fabric's quality.
What does 'boucle' mean?
Boucle (pronounced boo-clay) refers to a type of textured yarn or fabric made of loops, which creates a nubbly, looped surface. It adds visual interest and a luxurious feel.
Does the side split make the skirt too revealing?
The side split is designed for comfort and style. Its placement and depth are intended to be modest while allowing for ease of movement. It can be adjusted by how the skirt sits when worn.
What are the benefits of the recycled polyester content?
Using recycled polyester reduces reliance on virgin materials, lowers energy consumption, and helps divert waste from landfills, contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it remains stuck, a small amount of graphite pencil on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Boucle texture appears uneven or pulled
Check for snagged threads. Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid snagging by being mindful of jewelry and rough surfaces.
Skirt feels too tight around the hips or legs
The pencil silhouette is designed for a close fit. Consider the next size up if more room is desired. Ensure the side split is correctly positioned for ease of movement.
Color appears faded after washing
Ensure washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Always dry away from direct sunlight. Check garment label for specific colorfastness instructions.
