FAQs
What is the material composition of the skirt?
The skirt is made from 97% Polyester and 3% Elastane, offering a comfortable and slightly stretchy fit.
How long is the skirt?
The skirt has a midi length, approximately 70cm from the waist.
Is the waistband adjustable?
The skirt features an elasticated waistband, which provides flexibility and comfort but is not adjustable with drawstrings or buttons.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
No, this skirt is designated as 'Hand Wash Only' to best preserve its pleats and fabric integrity. Please follow the detailed care instructions.
What size is this skirt?
This specific variant is a UK Size 14. It is designed for a regular fit and is true to size.
Is this skirt suitable for all seasons?
Yes, its versatile black colour and midi length allow it to be styled for various seasons. Pair with lighter tops and sandals for warmer weather or with tights, boots, and sweaters for cooler months.
Troubleshooting
Pleats are losing their crispness or shape.
Ensure you are hand washing gently and allowing the skirt to air dry flat or hanging straight. If necessary, a very cool iron can be used to re-press the pleats with a protective cloth.
Skirt feels too loose or too tight.
While the skirt is true to size (UK 14), individual body shapes vary. Double-check your measurements against standard sizing guides. The elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but if it's significantly off, consider trying a different size or variant (e.g., 'petite' if applicable).
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.
After hand washing and gentle squeezing, lay the skirt flat or hang it immediately to dry. Polyester is generally wrinkle-resistant, but if wrinkles persist, use a steamer or a cool iron with a pressing cloth.
Colour appears dull or faded.
Always use a mild detergent specifically for delicate dark colours during hand washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, and dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the skirt's pleats, colour, and overall condition:
- Hand Wash Only: Fill a basin with cool water and a mild detergent. Submerge the skirt and gently agitate. Avoid twisting or scrubbing vigorously to protect the pleats.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly under cool, running water until all soap is removed.
- Gentle Squeeze: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring, as this can damage the pleats and fabric.
- Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can affect the fabric. Allowing it to dry flat or hanging will help the pleats retain their shape.
- Ironing (Optional): If necessary, iron on a low, cool setting. Place a thin cloth between the iron and the skirt to protect the fabric, and iron along the pleats to reinforce them. Avoid high heat.
