Product Information

Full details

The Apricot Mini Skort is designed for the modern adult woman who values a polished aesthetic without sacrificing the freedom of movement provided by shorts. This garment offers the sophisticated look of a tailored skirt with the functional reliability of shorts, making it an ideal choice for casual outings or semi-formal daytime events. While the luxurious velvet material provides a high-end feel and excellent drape, potential owners should note that the fabric requires careful handling and specific laundering to maintain its texture over time.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size is this skort?

This specific model is a UK size 14.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the velvet pile and potentially cause the garment to shrink.

Is the material stretchy?

The velvet fabric has limited stretch compared to synthetic blends, so it is recommended to ensure the fit is correct for your measurements.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or cards; while a slim smartphone might fit, it may alter the silhouette of the skort.

Does the skort require special storage?

Yes, hanging it rather than folding it is ideal to prevent permanent pressure marks or crushing the velvet texture.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the velvet

Use a handheld garment steamer from a distance of at least 6 inches, moving constantly to avoid soaking the fabric.

Dust or lint accumulation on fabric

Use a dedicated velvet brush or a clean, dry microfiber cloth, brushing gently in the direction of the fabric grain.

Zip feels stiff

Run a graphite pencil tip along the teeth of the zipper to act as a dry lubricant, then gently move the pull up and down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Apricot Mini Skort, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Given the velvet material, it is best to hang the skort on a padded hanger to avoid creases. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions strictly; typically, this involves a cold, gentle machine wash inside-out or professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's pile and sheen. Avoid ironing directly on the velvet face; if wrinkles occur, use a steamer at a safe distance to gently release them.
