FAQs
What is the primary material of this skirt?

How long is the midi length?

Can I wear this skirt for formal events?
Yes, the tailored design and midi length make it suitable for formal occasions, such as weddings or important business events.
How should I care for the structured pleats?
Careful ironing on a cool setting on the reverse side, or professional steaming, is recommended to maintain the crispness of the pleats. Avoid excessive heat.
What kind of tops pair best with this skirt?

What washing method is recommended?
Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's quality and the skirt's structure. Hand washing with cold water and mild detergent is an alternative, but requires careful handling.
Troubleshooting
Skirt loses shape after washing.
Ensure the skirt was dry cleaned or hand-washed according to instructions. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. If shape is lost, professional pressing may help restore it.
Pleats are not staying crisp.
Try ironing on a cool setting on the reverse side, focusing on the pleats. For persistent issues, professional pressing or steaming might be necessary. Ensure proper storage to prevent creasing.
Fabric appears dull or faded.
This can occur with excessive washing or exposure to direct sunlight. Follow care instructions strictly, wash less frequently, and dry away from direct light. Consider professional cleaning for best results.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
