FAQs

What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is made from a soft stretch bengaline material, consisting of 74% Viscose, 23% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane.

Is this skirt suitable for office wear?

Yes, its flattering pencil silhouette, knee-length cut, and plain design make it an excellent choice for smart casual or business casual office environments.

How do I determine my size?

The skirt is designed to be a regular, true-to-size fit. It is recommended to select your usual UK dress size for the best fit. Refer to the Roman size guide if you are unsure.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

Yes, this skirt is machine washable. Please follow the care instructions provided: use a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air dry to maintain its shape and fabric quality.

Does the elasticated waistband dig in?

The elasticated waistband is designed for comfort and ease of wear. It should provide a secure fit without digging in, especially when the correct size is chosen.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has an approximate length of 61cm, making it a knee-length style for most individuals.

Troubleshooting

The skirt feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected your true size, as the skirt is designed for a regular fit. While it has stretch, if it feels consistently tight, consider trying one size up for optimal comfort. Also, check that the elastic waistband is not twisted.

Fabric appears creased after washing.

After machine washing, gently reshape the skirt and air dry it flat or on a hanger. Iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, to remove any stubborn creases. Avoid leaving it crumpled for extended periods after drying.

The skirt rides up or twists during wear.

This could indicate an incorrect size or movement patterns. Ensure the waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist. If the issue persists, consider if the skirt is perhaps too small, or if pairing it with certain types of hosiery or undergarments contributes to the issue.

Material feels rough or loses softness after washing.

Always use a mild detergent and avoid using excessive amounts of fabric softener, which can sometimes build up. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded, allowing for a thorough rinse. Air drying rather than tumble drying can also help maintain the fabric's soft texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Roman pencil skirt, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: This skirt is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, as this can affect the stretch and shape of the bengaline material.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. It is often recommended to iron inside out to protect the fabric's finish.
  • Storage: Store on a hanger or folded neatly to prevent creasing.
