FAQs

Is this skirt true to size?

Yes, this skirt follows standard sizing, but it is a tailored piece with limited stretch. It is recommended to check the specific size guide to ensure a comfortable fit around the waist and hips.

How long is the skirt?

The skirt is designed as a midi length, sitting approximately 89cm from the waist, specifically calibrated for petite proportions.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

No, given the satin construction and structured lining, dry cleaning is the recommended care method to preserve the fabric's finish and the garment's shape.

Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?

Like most high-quality satin, it can wrinkle if sat for extended periods. It is best to smooth the fabric before sitting down.

Does the front split affect the fit?

The front split is a design feature intended to add comfort and ease of movement, allowing for a slimmer pencil cut without restricting your stride.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles upon unpacking

Gently steam the garment from a distance, or hang in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to drop out naturally without direct iron contact.

Fabric appears to catch on jewelry

Satin is a delicate fabric; ensure all jewelry, such as rings or bracelets, is snag-free before dressing to prevent pulling the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precisely tailored for petite figures
  • Sophisticated and versatile blue color
  • High-quality, fully lined construction
  • Front split allows for comfortable mobility
  • Timeless design suitable for formal occasions

Cons

  • Requires professional care due to delicate satin fabric
  • Limited stretch due to structured tailoring
  • Specific sizing requires accurate body measurements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the satin material and the skirt's structural tailoring, it is recommended to dry clean the garment. Avoid machine washing or aggressive steaming that could compromise the sheen or the fit. When storing, ensure the skirt is hung on a proper hanger with clips to prevent wrinkles and maintain the shape of the waistline. Because this is a petite-fit item, consider your footwear height during fitting, as the hem length is designed to pair best with heels or elegant flats to preserve the intended silhouette.
