FAQs

Is this skirt true to size?

The skirt features an elastic waistband and stretch silk, providing a flexible fit. We recommend selecting your standard UK dress size.

Can I tumble dry the silk skirt?

No. Tumble drying can damage silk fibers and cause shrinkage. Always air dry flat or on a padded hanger.

Does the fabric wrinkle easily?

As with most high-quality silk-satin, it may develop soft wrinkles during wear, but the stretch component helps it resist deep creasing better than pure silk.

Is the white fabric sheer?

No, the skirt is fully lined to provide coverage, though wearing skin-toned undergarments is always recommended with white silk.

How should I store this skirt?

Store hanging on a padded hanger to maintain the bias drape and keep the garment away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white fabric.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles upon removal from storage

Use a handheld steamer on a low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the silk surface.

Minor snagging on the fabric surface

Do not pull the thread. Gently stretch the fabric around the snag in multiple directions to help the fibers settle back into place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Luxurious silk-satin finish with a subtle sheen
  • Bias-cut construction provides a flattering, fluid movement
  • Machine washable for easier maintenance than typical silk garments
  • Fully lined for added durability and comfort

Cons

  • Light white fabric is susceptible to stains
  • Bias-cut skirts can highlight undergarment lines if not styled correctly
  • Limited to one colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Dorothee Schumacher skirt, follow these care guidelines closely. While the garment is machine washable at 30 degrees, it is highly recommended to place the skirt in a mesh garment bag to protect the delicate silk fibers from snags. Use a gentle detergent specifically formulated for silk to maintain the fabric's natural luster. Avoid harsh bleach or aggressive spin cycles. When drying, lay the skirt flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger to prevent misshaping. Because the item is cut on the bias, it may settle over time; hanging it correctly helps it maintain its structural integrity.
