FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for tall individuals?
This specific variant is cut for a petite frame; while it can be worn by others, the proportions are optimized for shorter statures.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
No, given the woven twill material and full lining, dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and fabric quality.
Does the waistband have any stretch?
The waistband is designed as a structured feature and provides minimal to no stretch, which helps maintain the skirt's form.
What is the exact length of the skirt?
The skirt measures approximately 95cm, designed to sit gracefully below the knee.
What kind of top works best with this skirt?
A fitted, tucked-in top or a bodysuit works best to balance the volume of the skirt and highlight the waist.
Is the fabric heavy?
The woven twill is substantial enough to hold the box pleats and provide volume, which gives it a high-quality, weighted drape.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after storage
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release creases.
Pleats losing their crisp shape
Take the item to a professional cleaner who can re-press the box pleats to factory standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your skirt, follow these care and styling guidelines:
- Care: Because of the woven twill construction and internal lining, this garment should be professionally dry cleaned to avoid distorting the pleats.
- Storage: Hang the skirt using the provided internal loops or a wide, padded hanger to prevent the weight of the fabric from creating unwanted creases in the pleats.
- Compatibility: This item pairs best with pointed-toe heels or strappy sandals to complement the elegant midi length. Due to the high waistband, it is most compatible with tucked-in tops or slim-fit knits.
