The skirt is crafted from 100% Polyester, designed to replicate the luxurious feel and appearance of traditional velvet.
How should I wash this skirt?

What is the approximate length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 79cm, classifying it as a midi-length skirt.

Can I wear this skirt for formal occasions?
Absolutely! While versatile for casual wear, the luxurious velvet fabric and elegant pleated detail make it suitable for dressy occasions when paired with appropriate tops and accessories.
Will the pleats stay intact after washing?
To best maintain the pleats, it's crucial to wash on a gentle cycle and air dry by hanging or laying flat, gently reshaping them while damp. Avoid tumble drying.

Troubleshooting
Pleats are losing their crispness or becoming distorted.
After washing, gently reshape the pleats while the skirt is damp and hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying or wringing. If already dry, a garment steamer can help restore the pleats.
Velvet fabric appears dull or has flattened areas.
Gently brush the velvet pile in one direction with a soft fabric brush or use a garment steamer to carefully lift the pile. Avoid heavy pressure or friction.
Skirt feels static or clings to legs.
Use an anti-static spray on the inside lining of the skirt. Washing with fabric softener or using dryer sheets (if tumble drying, which is not recommended for this skirt) can also help reduce static.
Unexpected creasing or wrinkles after wear/storage.
Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a garment steamer to gently release wrinkles. For stubborn creases, iron on a very low setting from the inside out, placing a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric if needed.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the luxurious feel and appearance of your Roman Velvet Pleated Midi Skirt.
- Washing: The skirt is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the fabric and pleats. It is advisable to wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the velvet finish and colour.
- Drying: To preserve the pleats and prevent shrinking, it is best to air dry the skirt. Lay it flat or hang it carefully, ensuring the pleats fall naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat from a tumble dryer, which can flatten the velvet pile and distort the pleats.
- Ironing/Steaming: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting inside out, or use a garment steamer to gently remove wrinkles. Avoid pressing directly on the velvet pile with a hot iron, as this can crush the fabric.
- Storage: Store the skirt by hanging it on a padded hanger or folding it neatly to prevent creasing and maintain the pleats. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
