FAQs

What does 'petite' sizing mean?

Petite sizing refers to garments specifically cut for women of shorter stature, typically with shorter inseams and sleeve lengths, and adjusted proportions.

How do I best maintain the crinkle texture?

To maintain the crinkle texture, it's best to wash on a gentle cycle in cold water, avoid harsh wringing, and air dry. If ironing is needed, use a cool setting and focus on restoring the texture rather than pressing flat.

Is this skirt suitable for formal occasions?

This skirt is designed for casual and everyday wear due to its crinkle texture and relaxed fit. It is generally not suitable for formal events.

What kind of tops pair well with this skirt?

Simple, solid-colored tops, basic t-shirts, fitted knitwear, or casual blouses complement the skirt's design well. You can also pair it with tank tops or camisoles.

Can I wear this skirt in different seasons?

The lightweight Viscose fabric makes it ideal for warmer weather. However, it can be layered with tights, boots, and a warmer top or jacket for cooler seasons.

What is the length of the maxi skirt for a size 18 petite?

While exact measurements can vary, a petite maxi skirt is designed to fall closer to the ankle for shorter individuals, ensuring it doesn't appear too long or overwhelming.

How does the elasticated waistband with tie function?

The elasticated waistband provides a comfortable stretch, and the tie allows you to adjust the fit and cinch the waist for a more personalized and secure feel.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Viscose can shrink. Gently stretch the fabric while damp and allow it to air dry. Avoid high heat in washing or drying.

Crinkle texture is flattening.

Avoid excessive heat when ironing. If necessary, use a cool setting and iron from the reverse side. Gentle tumbling in a dryer on a cool setting can sometimes help to re-introduce some crinkle.

Color fading.

Wash in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
