FAQs

What is the exact length of this skirt?

The skirt has a midi-length design that falls to approximately 83cm.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The skirt is constructed from a structured tweed, which is designed to hold its shape rather than stretch, so please consult the size guide for a precise fit.

Can I machine wash this garment?

Due to the metallic yarn and tweed construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the texture and sparkle of the fabric.

How should I store the skirt to protect the frayed hem?

Store the skirt hung by the waistband in a spacious area where the hem does not rub against other heavy fabrics or textured surfaces.

Is the skirt lined?

Yes, it is fully lined to provide a comfortable finish against the skin and a consistent drape.

Will the metallic yarn irritate the skin?

The skirt is fully lined, which creates a smooth barrier between the tweed fabric and your skin for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Hemline threads becoming overly long or uneven

Carefully trim stray threads with sharp sewing scissors, being careful not to cut into the main body of the hem.

Metallic yarn appears dull or dusty

Gently shake the garment to remove loose particles and use a soft garment brush to clear the surface fibers.

Wrinkling after storage

Hang the skirt in a humid environment, such as a bathroom during a shower, or use a handheld steamer on a low setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both formal and casual settings
  • Metallic threading offers a sophisticated, subtle sparkle
  • A-line shape is flattering and provides excellent movement
  • Fully lined interior for increased comfort and structure

Cons

  • Frayed hem requires care to prevent excessive unraveling
  • Metallic yarns may require gentle handling to avoid snagging
  • Dry cleaning is typically recommended for tweed garments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your skirt in optimal condition, store it hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the hem's fraying detail from catching on other garments. When cleaning, avoid harsh washing cycles; because the garment is made of tweed with metallic threads, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the finish of the metallic yarn. If the hem experiences minor fraying, trim stray threads carefully with fabric scissors rather than pulling them. The skirt pairs naturally with fitted tops, as the volume of the A-line cut is best complemented by a balanced, streamlined silhouette on the upper body.
