FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the Roman Animal Pleated Maxi Skirt can be styled for all seasons. Pair it with light tops and sandals for warmer months, and layer with knitwear, boots, and a coat for colder weather.
How do I choose the correct size?
The skirt is described as `true to size`. We recommend selecting your usual UK women's dress size. The `elasticated waistband` also provides a comfortable and flexible fit.
What type of print is on the skirt?
The skirt features a `bold leopard print` throughout, giving it a distinctive `animal pattern`.
Can I wear this skirt for formal occasions?
This skirt is primarily designed for `casual or semi-casual wear`. While it can be dressed up, its bold print and relaxed style make it less suitable for very formal events.
What is the exact length of the skirt?
The skirt has a `maxi length` of approximately `89cm`.
Will the pleats stay sharp after washing?
With proper care, including `machine washing` on a gentle cycle and `air drying` (hanging or laying flat), the pleats should largely maintain their shape. Avoid tumble drying on high heat.
What materials is the skirt made from?
The skirt is made from a blend of `97% Polyester` and `3% Viscose`.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their shape after washing.
Ensure you are air drying the skirt by hanging it or laying it flat. Avoid tumble drying at high heat. If pleats are still soft, a very light iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth can help redefine them. Store hung up to maintain shape.
Skirt feels too long or too short.
The skirt has a fixed `maxi length` of approximately `89cm`. If it's too long, consider wearing heeled shoes or having it professionally hemmed. If it feels too short, it may be due to personal height preference, and unfortunately, the length cannot be extended.
Fabric static cling.
This can occur with polyester. Try using a fabric softener during washing, or a static cling spray before wearing. Hanging the skirt in a humid environment for a short period can also help reduce static.
