How do I determine the correct size?

The skirt runs true to size. Please refer to the specific size chart provided for the UK sizing to find your best fit.

Can I machine wash or hand wash this skirt?

No, this skirt is strictly dry clean only. Machine washing or hand washing can damage the fabric, lace, and metallic fibres.

What is the skirt made of?

The main fabric is a blend of 99% viscose and 1% metallic fibres, with a 100% polyester lining. The detachable belt is made from a combination of cow hide, polyurethane, and polyamide.

What does 'fil coupé' mean?

Fil coupé is a decorative weaving technique where the weft threads are cut to create a pattern, often resulting in a textured or embroidered effect. In this skirt, it provides a subtle sheen.

How long is the skirt?

The skirt measures 107 cm in length, designed to fall at the ankle.

Can the belt be removed?

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Arrange for professional dry cleaning. A cool iron may be used with extreme caution on the fabric, avoiding direct heat on metallic elements or lace.

Detachable belt is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the belt buckle is correctly aligned with the belt holes. If stiff, try gently flexing the belt material. Avoid forcing the buckle.

Lace inserts look snagged or pulled.

Handle with care to avoid further snags. Professional dry cleaning may be able to address minor imperfections. Prevent contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces.
