FAQs

What material is this skirt made from?

The skirt is primarily made from Polyester, as indicated by the product information.

Is this skirt suitable for machine washing?

It is generally recommended to dry clean this tailored skirt to preserve its structure and fabric quality. Always check the specific care label for definitive instructions.

What does 'godet detailing' mean?

Godet detailing refers to triangular or diamond-shaped fabric inserts sewn into the seam of a garment, typically at the hem of a skirt, to add fullness and enhance movement.

How can I style this skirt for a professional setting?

Pair it with a classic blouse, a tailored blazer, and closed-toe heels or smart flats. Ensure your top is tucked in to highlight the peplum waist.

What is the length of the petite fit?

The petite fit is designed with an ideal 80cm length to complement smaller frames.

Can the gold-tone buttons be removed?

The decorative buttons are part of the design. While they might be sewn on, they are intended to be a feature of the skirt and are not typically designed for removal.

How do I care for the check pattern to prevent fading?

To maintain the vibrancy of the check pattern, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying and always follow the recommended washing and ironing instructions.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the skirt for a few hours or use a garment steamer on a low setting. If necessary, iron on a low heat, inside out.

Buttons feel loose.

Gently tighten the buttons with a needle and thread, ensuring they are securely attached.

Fit around the waist is too tight or loose.

As this is a tailored fit, consider professional alteration services for minor adjustments. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the brand's sizing chart.
