FAQs
What is bengaline material?
Bengaline is a woven fabric known for its ribbed texture and excellent stretch. In this skirt, it's a blend of 74% Viscose, 23% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane, providing a soft feel, good drape, and comfortable flexibility.
How do I know what size to order?
The skirt is described as 'regular fit, true to size.' It is recommended to select your usual UK dress size. If you are between sizes, consider your personal preference for fit (e.g., a tighter pencil fit versus a slightly looser, more comfortable fit).
Can I wear this skirt for formal events?
While it's excellent for smart casual and workwear, its plain design and pull-on elasticated waist make it more suited for semi-formal or business casual settings rather than highly formal events. It can be dressed up effectively with the right top and accessories.
What is the approximate length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 61cm, which typically falls around the knee for most individuals, depending on height.
Does the elasticated waistband roll down or dig in?
The elasticated waistband is designed for a comfortable pull-on fit. For most users, it should sit smoothly without rolling or digging in, thanks to the quality of the elastic and the stretch of the fabric. Ensuring you have the correct size will also prevent discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. This skirt is designed to be true to size and offer a regular fit. The stretch material provides flexibility, but if it feels restrictive, a larger size might be needed.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled easily
While the stretch material resists heavy creasing, proper drying and storage are key. Air dry flat or hang immediately after washing. If wrinkles persist, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side.
Material showing signs of pilling or damage after washing
Always wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Using harsh detergents or high heat during washing or drying can damage the fabric blend. Wash with similar soft garments to prevent friction.
White skirt appears dull or discolored over time
To maintain the bright white color, wash with whites only and consider using a gentle, color-safe bleach alternative specifically designed for white fabrics if allowed by fabric care instructions. Avoid washing with dark colors.
