FAQs

Is this skirt machine washable?

No, this skirt is made of wool and must be professionally dry cleaned to protect the tailoring and material.

What is the total length of the skirt?

The skirt has a midi-length silhouette that falls approximately 83cm.

Does the fold detail add bulk to the waist?

The fold is designed as an architectural element to provide a sophisticated, tailored look that follows the contours of the body rather than adding bulk.

Can I wear this in the summer?

While wool is a natural insulator, the weight of the fabric is designed for professional environments; it is best suited for cooler or air-conditioned settings.

Is there a split for easier movement?

Yes, it includes a subtle front split to provide ease of movement while maintaining a composed aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing after storage

Gently steam the garment from a distance using a handheld steamer, taking care to avoid pressing directly on the architectural fold detail.

Waistband feeling too tight

Check that the skirt is pulled to the true high-waist position; if discomfort persists, consult a professional tailor for minor adjustments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for professional and social settings
  • High-quality wool material provides warmth and structure
  • Tailored fit enhances the silhouette with a high-waisted cut
  • Architectural detailing provides a unique modern edge

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning only
  • Limited stretch compared to casual synthetic fabrics
  • Midi length may require adjustments for shorter frames

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this skirt is made from premium wool, proper care is essential to preserve the fabric's texture and the garment's shape. Always hang the skirt using a clip hanger attached to the waistband to prevent the fabric from stretching or creasing at the fold details.

Regarding compatibility, the skirt features a tailored fit; if you fall between sizes, we recommend opting for your larger size to ensure the waist is comfortable when seated. For cleaning, strictly adhere to dry cleaning instructions; machine washing or tumble drying can cause irreparable damage to the wool fibers and the architectural construction of the fold detail.
