FAQs

What is the length of this skirt?

The skirt measures approximately 135cm in length, designed to create a floor-grazing silhouette.

Can this be worn for professional settings?

Yes, its tailored, structured pinstripe design is ideal for office environments, especially when paired with a matching blazer.

Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?

As with many satin-based tailored pieces, it may wrinkle if sat in for long periods; steaming is recommended to restore the crisp appearance.

How should I clean this skirt?

Always check the internal garment care label; generally, satin pieces of this nature require dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's luster.

Does the front split make it difficult to walk?

No, the front split is specifically designed to allow for ease of movement while maintaining the structured aesthetic of the maxi cut.

What kind of top works best with this skirt?

A tucked-in crisp shirt, a sleek bodysuit, or a fine-gauge knit sweater are ideal choices to maintain the defined waistline.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing after wear

Use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting to remove wrinkles without damaging the satin finish.

Hem dragging on the ground

Pair the skirt with heels of an appropriate height or consider a professional tailoring adjustment for a perfect length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this skirt is designed with a satin finish and specific tailoring, it is important to handle the garment with care to maintain its integrity.

  1. Storage: Hang the skirt using appropriate skirt hangers to prevent creasing and to maintain the structured line of the waist.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the satin material, it is recommended to follow the specific garment care label instructions, typically suggesting professional dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to preserve the fabric sheen.
  3. Footwear Selection: Given the 135cm length, select heels that complement your height to ensure the hem skims the floor without dragging, which can protect the hemline from fraying.
  4. Styling Compatibility: The high-waisted cut is best utilized with tucked-in tops, such as thin silks or fine-gauge knitwear, to avoid adding bulk under the structured waistband.
