FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for this skirt?

This skirt is designed with a fitted bandage silhouette. It is recommended to follow the standard UK sizing guide, but if you prefer a less restricted fit, consider your measurements against the size chart to ensure enough stretch for movement.

Is the fabric suitable for all seasons?

Yes, the polyester construction is mid-weight, making it suitable for year-round wear when paired with appropriate hosiery or seasonal tops.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

Due to the PU binding and structured nature of the piece, machine washing is generally discouraged. Professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the integrity of the seams and hardware.

What is the exact length of the skirt?

The skirt falls at a midi length, approximately 83cm from the waist.

Will the silver-tone buttons tarnish?

The hardware is designed for durability, but it is best to avoid exposing the buttons to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or excessive moisture to keep the shine intact.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the fabric

Use a handheld steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric to gently release creases.

Difficulty zipping or fastening

Ensure the garment is correctly centered on the body. If the fit feels too tight, do not force the zipper; consider sizing up for comfort.

PU trim appears dull

Gently wipe the PU trim with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or buildup, then let it air dry completely.

  • High-quality hardware details enhance the overall aesthetic

  • PU trim requires specific care to prevent premature wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features specialized PU (polyurethane) binding, proper care is essential to maintain its look.

  1. Cleaning: Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Typically, professional dry cleaning is recommended for structured pieces with synthetic trim to avoid damaging the PU material.
  2. Storage: Hang the skirt on a skirt-specific hanger with clips to maintain the vertical seam alignment and prevent stretching at the waist.
  3. Compatibility: This piece pairs best with pointed-toe heels or strappy mules to accentuate the leg-lengthening effect of the pencil cut. For a more casual look, leather ankle boots are a suitable option.
  4. Wrinkle Management: Use a garment steamer rather than a traditional iron, keeping the steam away from the PU trim to prevent melting or discoloration.
