What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

How should I style this skirt for cooler weather?

What is the approximate length of the skirt?

The skirt sits at approximately 90cm, designed to skim the lower leg.

Does the skirt have any lining?

Yes, the woven construction includes a lining for smooth and comfortable wear.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

Dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cool water and a mild detergent, and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing to preserve the fabric and lace.

What does 'tiered' mean in the context of this skirt?

Tiered means the skirt is constructed in distinct horizontal layers. This skirt has three layers: a smooth upper, a pleated mid-layer with lace, and a flowing lower woven layer.

Troubleshooting

Lace trim appears creased

Use a cool iron with a pressing cloth directly over the lace, or consult a professional dry cleaner.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a very mild detergent and avoid harsh wringing. Air drying flat and gentle pressing should restore softness.

Skirt does not drape as expected

Ensure the skirt is hung correctly on a padded hanger to allow the fabric to settle. Check care label for any specific hanging recommendations.
