FAQs

Is the skirt machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable; however, we recommend a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric texture.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The deep patch pockets are designed to be quite spacious and should easily accommodate most standard-sized smartphones.

How long is the midi length?

The midi length is designed to fall mid-calf, providing a balance between coverage and breathability.

Can the waist be adjusted significantly?

Yes, the combination of the shirred elastic panel and the external drawstring allows for a significant range of adjustment for a comfortable fit.

Does the fabric stretch?

The cotton fabric itself does not have stretch, but the shirred waistband panel provides the necessary flexibility for comfort.

Is the material sheer?

No, the two-layer construction of the skirt provides sufficient opacity, ensuring it is not see-through.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring feels loose or slips

Ensure the knot is tied securely or consider using a double knot if the fabric tension causes it to slide.

Fabric appears too wrinkled after washing

Gently shake out the garment while damp and air dry; the natural crinkle will return as the cotton dries.

Waistband feels tight

Check that the back shirred panel is not twisted and that the drawstring is fully released to allow the elastic to stretch to its maximum capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly adjustable waist for a personalized fit
  • Ample storage space with two types of pockets
  • Flowing midi length offers modest yet breezy coverage
  • High-quality cotton construction promotes breathability
  • Side slits allow for easy movement

Cons

  • Crinkled fabric texture may not suit formal dress codes
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain the crinkled look
  • Layered design may feel slightly heavier than single-layer skirts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your skirt maintains its shape and crinkled aesthetic, follow these guidelines:

Setup:

  1. Loosen the drawstring completely before putting on the skirt.
  2. Step into the skirt and pull the waistband to your preferred height.
  3. Adjust the drawstring until snug and secure the knot.

Care:

  • Wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent to protect the cotton fibers.
  • Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the elasticity in the shirred panel.
  • To maintain the signature 'crinkled' texture, avoid heavy ironing; if wrinkles become too deep, a light steam is sufficient.
