Product Information

Full details

The Phase Eight Melissa Midi Skirt is designed for the modern adult woman seeking a polished, versatile staple that bridges the gap between professional office attire and evening sophistication. Its primary benefit is the high-waist, sculpting cut that creates a smooth, flattering silhouette with a luxe faux leather finish; however, wearers should note that the structured material may require specific care and limited stretch compared to knit fabrics.

FAQs

What is the best way to clean this faux leather skirt?

Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the synthetic coating.

Does this skirt have any stretch?

The faux leather material is designed to be structured and sculpting, meaning it has limited stretch compared to fabrics like spandex or jersey.

What size is the UK 8 equivalent to?

A UK size 8 in Phase Eight is typically designed for a standard slim-to-average frame; refer to the brand's official size guide for precise waist and hip measurements.

Can I iron this skirt?

No, do not iron faux leather as direct heat will melt or warp the material. Use a steamer from a safe distance if necessary.

Is the purple color versatile for styling?

Yes, this deep purple tone acts as a rich neutral that pairs beautifully with black, grey, cream, and metallic accents.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the material

Hang the skirt in a warm room to allow the material to relax, or use a steamer on the lowest setting from a distance of at least 6 inches.

The skirt feels slightly restrictive

Ensure the garment is correctly positioned at the natural waistline rather than the hips, as the high-waist cut is specifically tailored for that placement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and professional aesthetic
  • Flattering high-waisted cut that sculpts the body
  • Durable, easy-to-wipe faux leather material
  • Seamless transition from work to social settings

Cons

  • Material has limited stretch compared to jersey or cotton
  • Requires gentle cleaning to preserve the faux leather finish
  • Not suitable for machine drying or high-heat environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this skirt is made of faux leather, longevity depends on proper maintenance. Avoid storing the skirt in direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the material to crack or fade over time. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the skirt in water or subject it to aggressive scrubbing. Hang the garment on a skirt-specific hanger with clips to prevent unwanted creases in the waistline or fabric. Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or oils near the material, as these can strip the synthetic finish.
