FAQs
Does this skirt have pockets?
The current design focuses on the gathered silhouette and pleats; it does not feature integrated pockets.
Is the skirt true to size?
This variant is a UK size 10. The gathered waist allows for a degree of flexibility, but it is recommended to follow standard & Other Stories sizing charts.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is not recommended. Air drying in the shade is the best method to protect the cotton material and the shape of the pleats.
How long is the lining?
The skirt includes a short inner lining designed for coverage where it is needed most, typically reaching mid-thigh.
Is the material heavy?
The cotton is lightweight and breathable, designed to maintain volume without feeling bulky or heavy on the body.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a handheld fabric steamer to gently release creases while the skirt is hanging, taking care not to pull on the stitched pleats.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Ensure the skirt is laying flat and the hook-and-bar closure is aligned properly before attempting to zip. A small amount of paraffin wax on the zipper teeth can also help.
Fabric looks dingy or loses brightness
Wash specifically with whites-only cycles and consider using a gentle whitening agent if recommended by the care label.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt in pristine condition, it is recommended to store it hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the pleats from losing their structure. When cleaning, avoid harsh scrubbing or high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the cotton fibers and the integrity of the gathers. If ironing is necessary, use a low-heat setting or a steamer while holding the fabric away from the nozzle to avoid flattening the side pleats. Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash temperatures and drying instructions to ensure the longevity of the white color and fabric quality.
