FAQs
What material is the skirt made of?
The skirt is crafted from sumptuous velvet fabric.
How should I wash this skirt?
The skirt is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent, then air drying.
What is the length of the skirt?
The length of the skirt is approximately 79cm (midi length).
Is the waistband comfortable?
Yes, it features an elasticated waistband for easy pull-on styling and comfortable wear.
Can I wear this skirt for formal occasions?
Absolutely! Its elegant velvet fabric and pleated detail make it suitable for both casual and dressy occasions. Pair it with a blouse and heels for a more formal look.
How does the sizing run?
The skirt is designed to be true to size, so we recommend ordering your usual UK dress size.
How can I prevent creases in the pleats?
To minimize creases, air dry the skirt flat or hang it immediately after washing. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods. A garment steamer can gently remove any stubborn wrinkles.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears creased or pleats are flattened.
Hang the skirt immediately after washing or wear. If creases persist, use a garment steamer from a safe distance or iron on the lowest setting inside out, avoiding direct pressure on the velvet pile. Do not use high heat.
Velvet fabric looks dull or has lost its luster.
Ensure you are washing it on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals. Air drying away from direct heat can help maintain the fabric's natural sheen. Gently brushing the velvet pile in one direction with a soft brush (after drying) can also restore its look.
Skirt feels too tight or too loose around the waist.
This skirt has an elasticated waistband and is designed to be true to size. If it feels significantly off, double-check your measurements against the brand's size guide. For minor adjustments, consider styling with belts or different tops to create your desired silhouette.
Static cling makes the skirt uncomfortable.
Velvet can sometimes generate static electricity. To reduce static, use an anti-static spray on the inside of the skirt, or add a fabric conditioner during washing. Hanging it in a high-humidity environment can also help.

Care Instructions: To maintain the skirt's luxurious velvet and pleated detail, follow these care guidelines: 1. Washing: Machine wash according to the label. Use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the fabric. 2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics. 3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Instead, reshape the skirt and lay it flat or hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. This helps prevent creasing and preserves the pleats. 4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on the lowest setting inside out, or use a steamer from a distance to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct, heavy pressure on the velvet pile to prevent crushing.
