FAQs
Is the skirt true to size?

Can I machine wash this skirt?
It is strongly recommended to dry clean this garment to prevent damage to the pleats and fabric structure.
What is the material composition?
The skirt features a structured weave with added elastane to provide comfortable stretch for daily wear.
Does the D-ring serve a functional purpose?
The D-ring acts as a decorative element and can be used to hold small accessories, adding to the branded aesthetic of the Re-Engineered line.
What type of top works best with this skirt?
Tucked-in tops, such as thin-gauge knitwear, fitted shirts, or blouses, work best to highlight the high-waisted design.
Troubleshooting

Utilize the belt loops to wear a coordinating belt, which will help keep the waistband secure and in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your skirt maintains its crisp pleats, store it hanging by the waistband using a dedicated skirt hanger with clips. Avoid folding the garment, as this can cause permanent creases in the pleats. For care, always refer to the internal fabric care label; due to the structured nature of the pleating, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the fabric and the sharpness of the folds. If minor refreshing is needed, use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance to avoid crushing the fibers.
