FAQs
What material is the Shimmer Knit Midi Skirt made from?
The skirt is made from a blend of 40% Viscose, 37% Polyester, 17% Polyamide, and 6% Metallised Fibre.
Is the skirt suitable for all seasons?
It is specifically described as being for the 'Autumn/Winter season' due to its knit fabric and styling. While adaptable, it might be less comfortable in very warm weather.
How should I wash this skirt?
The skirt is machine washable. It's recommended to use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and to air dry flat to best preserve its shape and shimmer.
What is the length of the skirt?
The length of the skirt is approximately 80cm.
Does it have a zipper or buttons?
The description highlights a 'comfortable elasticated waist for a perfect fit', suggesting it is a pull-on style without zippers or buttons.
Can I wear this skirt for formal occasions?
Yes, its glamorous shimmer knitted fabric and midi length make it suitable for evening wear and more formal occasions when paired with appropriate tops and accessories.
Troubleshooting
Shimmer appears dull after washing.
Ensure you are following the 'Machine washable' instruction and using a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or high heat during washing and drying, as these can damage the metallised fibres and affect the shimmer. Air dry flat if possible.
Skirt doesn't fit as expected despite elasticated waist.
The skirt features a comfortable elasticated waist for a 'perfect fit'. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 18 based on standard sizing. If fit issues persist, consider body measurements against Roman's sizing guide, if available. Keep in mind that knit fabrics can have slight variations.
Fabric feels scratchy or uncomfortable.
While crafted from a soft shimmer knitted fabric, individual sensitivity to material blends (40% Viscose, 37% Polyester, 17% Polyamide, 6% Metallised Fibre) can vary. Washing with a fabric softener on a gentle cycle may help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. If discomfort persists, consider wearing a slip underneath.
Skirt seems to be stretching or losing shape.
Knitwear can be prone to stretching if not cared for correctly. Always store the skirt folded rather than hung. When washing, avoid excessive wringing or pulling. Air dry flat to help maintain its original length (approximately 80cm) and shape.

Setup (Styling Tips)
No physical setup is required for this skirt. However, consider these styling tips for optimal use:
- Colour Coordination: The red colour family offers a vibrant base. Pair with neutral tones like black, grey, cream, or navy for a balanced look. Metallics or deeper jewel tones can enhance its glamorous appeal.
- Footwear: Ankle boots and knee-high boots are excellent choices for Autumn/Winter. For more formal occasions, elegant heels or pointed flats work well.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the skirt's shimmer and fabric quality over time.
- Washing: This skirt is Machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours to protect the delicate shimmer and knitted structure.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Air drying flat is often best for knitwear to maintain shape and prevent stretching. If machine drying, use a low heat setting and remove promptly.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably inside out, to protect the metallised fibres and shimmer effect.
- Storage: Store folded rather than hung to prevent stretching, especially given its knit construction.
