FAQs
How does this skirt fit?

Can I machine wash this wool skirt?

What is the inspiration behind this pattern?
The pattern is the 'Nightwatch' tartan featuring 'Brushed Hair Stripe' panels, directly inspired by the Vivienne Westwood Autumn-Winter 1996/97 'Storm in a Teacup' collection.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the skirt features functional side slit pockets for storing small essentials.
How should I store this skirt during summer?
Clean it first, then store it in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and moths.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a professional garment steamer from at least six inches away.
Loose button or loose thread
Take the garment to a professional tailor to ensure the gold-tone, orb-embossed buttons are reinforced correctly without damaging the wool weave.
