FAQs
Is the fabric prone to snagging?
As with most satin materials, it should be treated with care around sharp jewelry or rough surfaces to maintain the integrity of the crinkle finish.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
It is highly recommended to follow the care label, which typically requires professional dry cleaning to protect the specialized crinkle satin fabric.
What is the length of the skirt?
The skirt features a floor-grazing maxi length of approximately 110cm.
Does the front split affect the fit?
The front split is designed for ease of movement and does not compromise the structured fit around the hips.
How should I store the skirt?
Hang the skirt by the waist using a padded or clipped skirt hanger to prevent the fabric from stretching or losing its shape.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have unwanted flat spots
Avoid placing heavy items on top of the garment during storage; gently steam from the inside out to revive the crinkle effect.
Hemline drags too much on the ground
Consider pairing with higher-profile heels or have the garment professionally tailored to your specific length requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your skirt maintains its tailored structure and texture, it is essential to follow specific care guidelines. Because the material is crinkle satin, avoid harsh ironing or high-heat steamers that could flatten the deliberate texture of the fabric.
Compatibility & Styling:
- Footwear: Pair with heels or elegant flats; avoid bulky boots that may snag the hem.
- Tops: Style with a matching tailored jacket or a slim-fit camisole to balance the volume of the flared hem.
- Accessories: Complement the ensemble with drop earrings to draw attention to the neckline, balancing the structured skirt.
Care Instructions:
- Always check the interior garment label for specific cleaning instructions.
- Store on a dedicated skirt hanger with clips to prevent deep creases.
- If minor wrinkling occurs outside the intended texture, use a light steamer at a safe distance.
