Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too long or short

The maxi length is fixed, but the asymmetric hem provides visual interest. Consider pairing with appropriate footwear to achieve your desired overall silhouette.

Creases or wrinkles in the silk

Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes, or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn wrinkles.

Overskirt styling seems complicated

Experiment with different ways to tie, drape, or fold the overskirt while wearing it. Observe how the fabric moves and settles. Consider looking for styling inspiration online for similar convertible garments.
