FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is ideal for formal events, evening wear, weddings, galas, or any occasion where an elegant and sophisticated look is desired.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the brand. The elasticated waistband offers some flexibility, but consider your natural waist measurement for the best fit.

Can I wear this skirt in cooler weather?

Yes, it can be styled for cooler weather by layering with opaque tights, boots, and a warm knit or tailored coat.

What kind of undergarments should I wear with the sheer overlay?

Given the sheer nature of the overlay, it is recommended to wear seamless, nude-colored undergarments or a slip underneath for a smooth and discreet look.

Is the skirt lined?

The product description does not mention a lining. The skirt features a sheer overlay construction, suggesting it may not be lined, and thus undergarments or a slip would be advisable.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt is described as a midi skirt, meaning it typically falls below the knee and above the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If necessary, iron on the reverse side on a low heat setting with a protective cloth.

Fabric feels stiff after drying.

Ensure you are using a very mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can damage silk. Try re-washing with a silk-specific detergent if the stiffness persists.

Minor snags on the sheer overlay.

For very minor snags, you may be able to gently pull the thread back into place from the reverse side. Significant snags may require professional attention from a tailor specializing in delicate fabrics.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: This garment is suitable for hand wash only. Use cool water and a mild detergent specifically designed for silk or delicates.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat on a clean towel to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth or steam lightly while the garment is still slightly damp to avoid damaging the silk fibers.
