Full details

FAQs

What is the length of the midi skirt?

The skirt is made of 58% Polyester (including recycled fibres) and 42% Cotton.

Can this skirt be machine washed?

Is this skirt part of a larger collection?

Yes, it is designed to be part of a matching set with a coordinating blazer and top.

What does 'boucle' mean in the fabric description?

Boucle refers to a looped, textured yarn that creates a nubby and soft finish on the fabric's surface.

How can I achieve a more formal look with this skirt?

Pair the skirt with a sophisticated blouse or camisole, the matching blazer, and elegant heels or dressy flats.

What is the benefit of the recycled polyester content?

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to fasten

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up while holding the fabric taut. If resistance persists, check for any obstructions or damage to the zipper teeth.

Boucle texture appears matted

This can sometimes occur after washing or wear. Try a gentle steam to lift the fibers, or use a soft-bristled brush to carefully brush the texture back to its original state. Avoid excessive heat.

Skirt feels tight despite correct size

The pencil fit is designed to be tailored. If movement is restricted, consider the side split's role. For a looser fit, sizing up may be an option, but it will alter the intended silhouette.
