FAQs

Is the skirt true to size?

The Self-Portrait skirt is designed to fit standard UK sizing; however, since the fabric has minimal stretch, we recommend consulting the brand's size chart before purchasing.

Can I remove the belt?

Yes, the belt is removable and held in place by integrated belt loops, allowing you to style the skirt with your own accessories.

What is the primary material used?

This miniskirt is crafted from high-quality polyester, which gives it that signature taffeta sheen and structural integrity.

Is the skirt machine washable?

Due to the structured folds and delicate taffeta fabric, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to keep the skirt in original condition.

Does it have pockets?

The design focuses on the sleek balloon silhouette and integrated skort, so it does not feature functional external pockets.

How should I store this skirt?

Store the skirt hanging up on a wide, padded hanger to prevent the balloon shape from being crushed or losing its form.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the taffeta fabric

Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric to gently release creases.

Belt buckle becoming tarnished

Wipe the gold-tone buckle regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils and moisture.

Difficulty with the concealed zip

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth of the zipper; if it sticks, rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil on the teeth to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Self-Portrait miniskirt remains in top condition, focus on proper storage and cleaning. Always use the belt loops to secure the included black belt to prevent it from being misplaced. Because of the delicate nature of taffeta, it is best to hang the garment on a padded hanger to preserve the balloon shape. For cleaning, check the interior garment label; typically, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the sheen and structure of the polyester fabric. If spot cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth with mild detergent and avoid rubbing the fabric aggressively.
