FAQs
What occasions is this skirt suitable for?
The skirt is ideal for summer garden parties, wedding guest attire, elevated daytime events, or any occasion where a polished and sophisticated look is desired.
How can I style this skirt for cooler weather?
Layer it with a fitted tailored blazer, a fine-knit sweater, or a chic blouse. Pair with block-heeled mules, ankle boots, or knee-high boots.
What kind of top should I wear with this skirt?
Fitted tops, bodysuits, or blouses that can be tucked in work best to highlight the skirt's waistline and voluminous tiered design.
What is the material of the skirt?
The skirt is made from woven fabric, primarily linen, with intricate floral lace trim detailing.
What is the approximate length of the skirt?
The skirt is designed to be midi-to-maxi length, sitting at approximately 90cm, intended to skim the lower leg.
Does the skirt have a lining?
Yes, the skirt is lined for a smooth, comfortable wear throughout the day.
How should I care for the lace trim?
The lace trim is delicate. Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for care to preserve its detail. If hand washing, do so very gently in cold water.
Troubleshooting
Skirt wrinkles easily
This is characteristic of linen. Hang the skirt immediately after drying. Use a steamer or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth. Consider embracing a slightly rumpled look as part of the linen aesthetic.
Lace trim appears delicate
Handle the skirt with care during wear and washing. Opt for dry cleaning or a very gentle hand wash to avoid snagging or damaging the lace.
Pleats lose their sharpness
Sharp pleats are best maintained through professional dry cleaning. If hand washing, be careful not to disturb the pleats excessively. When ironing, pressing them carefully can help restore definition.
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements. Consider the skirt's intended silhouette; it is designed to skim the leg and should not be excessively tight at the waist or hips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready to wear upon purchase. As a skirt, it requires no technical setup.
Compatibility:
- Tops: Best paired with fitted tops, blouses, or fine knitwear that can be tucked in to highlight the skirt's waist and volume. Avoid overly voluminous tops that might compete with the skirt's design.
- Footwear: Suitable for heels, wedges, sandals, and heeled boots. Flat shoes can also work for a more casual take, depending on the occasion.
- Accessories: Statement jewelry, like cuff bracelets, or delicate necklaces can complement the skirt. Consider a structured handbag.
Care Instructions:
- Material: Primarily linen with lace trim. Linen can be prone to wrinkling and may require specific washing.
- Washing: We recommend dry cleaning for best results, especially to preserve the lace trim and the integrity of the pleats. If hand washing is preferred, use cold water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid harsh wringing.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side. Use a pressing cloth to protect the lace and fabric.
