FAQs
What is the primary material used in this skirt?
This skirt is made from high-quality compact viscose, known for its structured, smooth, and refined appearance.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
It is highly recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve the silhouette and fabric texture.
Does this skirt provide much stretch?
The compact viscose is chosen for its structural properties, so it has limited stretch compared to casual jersey skirts.
Is the sizing accurate for UK 8?
Yes, this is designed to fit a standard UK size 8; however, we recommend referring to a standard sizing chart if you are between sizes.
What footwear works best with a fishtail maxi?
Heels or elegant wedges are recommended to complement the long, flowing hem of the fishtail design and prevent dragging.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after storage
Lightly steam the garment from a distance, or hang it in a bathroom while running a hot shower to release wrinkles gently.
Fabric feels slightly stiff
Compact viscose is designed to be structured. If it feels too stiff, wearing it for a short period allows the fabric to warm and drape more naturally to your body shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready to wear upon arrival, though it may require a light steaming to remove any creases from transport. To ensure the longevity of your skirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of high-quality viscose, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and sheen.
- Storage: Store flat or hang using high-quality garment hangers that support the weight of the fabric without stretching the waistband.
- Compatibility: The size 8 fit is engineered for standard UK sizing; however, check the garment measurements against your own if you are between sizes to ensure the waist remains comfortable while seated.
