FAQs
What is the material composition of the skirt?
The skirt is made from 97% Polyester and 3% Viscose, offering a blend that is comfortable and easy to care for.
How long is this maxi skirt?
The approximate length of the skirt is 89cm, providing a classic maxi length silhouette.
Is the waistband adjustable?
The skirt features an elasticated waistband for comfort and flexibility in fit. While it's designed to be comfortable, it doesn't have adjustable drawstrings or buttons.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
Yes, the skirt is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and hanging it to dry to best maintain its pleats and fabric.
Is the skirt lined?
Information regarding a lining for this specific skirt is not explicitly provided in the product description. The material is primarily polyester.
How should I store the skirt to keep the pleats intact?
To best preserve the pleats, it is recommended to hang the skirt in your wardrobe. Folding can cause unwanted creases that are difficult to remove.
What size should I order?
The skirt is designed to be `true to size`. We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size for a comfortable and accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears wrinkled after washing.
Hang the skirt immediately after washing to allow the pleats to fall naturally. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer or iron on a very low setting, preferably from the inside out.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose.
This skirt is `true to size`. Ensure you selected the correct UK size based on your measurements. The elasticated waistband offers comfort but has limited adjustability beyond its intended fit.
Static cling is an issue.
Polyester can sometimes generate static. Try using a fabric softener during washing, or a static cling spray before wearing. A thin slip underneath can also help.
Print appears faded after washing.
Always wash according to the care instructions. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Washing inside out can also help protect the print's vibrancy over time.

Care Instructions
To ensure your skirt retains its distinctive look and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Wash: The skirt is `machine washable`. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging the skirt immediately after washing. This helps to maintain the pleats and prevents excessive wrinkling. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve fabric color.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric, or use a steamer to refresh the pleats. Avoid high heat as polyester can scorch.
- Storage: Hang the skirt in your wardrobe to keep the pleats crisp and prevent wrinkles.
