FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is highly versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, including professional settings, formal events, weddings, and race days. It can also be dressed down for sophisticated evening wear.

How should I care for the silk fabric?

The skirt is made from silk and requires dry cleaning only to maintain its quality and shape. Avoid washing or bleaching.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a length of 90cm, which typically falls at the mid-calf level.

How do I style the godet flare design?

The godet flare adds graceful movement. It pairs well with fitted tops to balance the volume or with blouses tucked in. For formal events, consider heels to enhance the drape and flow.

Are the gold-tone buttons functional?

The description mentions decorative gold-tone button detailing, suggesting they are primarily for aesthetic appeal and not functional fasteners.

Does the high waist offer a comfortable fit?

The high-waisted design is intended to accentuate the waistline. For comfort, ensure you select the correct size. The structured fabric offers a polished fit.

What other sizes are available?

This skirt is available in various UK women's dress sizes, including 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16, in addition to the listed size 14.

Troubleshooting

Skirt loses shape after wear

Ensure the skirt is properly stored on a hanger. If the silk becomes creased, a gentle steam iron on a low setting (on the reverse side) can help restore its form. Professional dry cleaning can also help maintain its structure.

Decorative buttons appear loose

Carefully inspect the buttons. If loose, they may require gentle re-securing with a needle and thread suitable for silk. Avoid excessive force when handling the buttons.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

This can sometimes occur with silk. Ensure you are using a reputable dry cleaner. A very light steam can help soften the fabric, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Pinstripe pattern seems misaligned

The godet flare construction might create a slight illusion of misalignment at the seams. Check the overall symmetry. If there is a significant defect, contact the retailer for assistance.
