This skirt is highly versatile, suitable for office wear, business lunches, evening events, and smart-casual occasions. Its design allows for easy transitions between different settings.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts. The form-fitting cut means you may want to consider your waist and hip measurements carefully. For a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up.

What material is the skirt made of?
The skirt is made from a textured compact stretch fabric, primarily designed for comfort and shape retention. It contains silk.
How do I style the side split for different looks?
The side split offers a subtle allure. For a more conservative look, ensure it aligns neatly. For a bolder statement, pair with heels that allow for graceful movement.
What footwear pairs best with this midi skirt?
It pairs well with a variety of footwear, including pointed flats, classic pumps, heeled sandals, and ankle boots, depending on the occasion.
Troubleshooting
Skirt loses shape after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (cold water, delicate cycle, or hand wash). Avoid tumble drying; always lay flat or hang to dry.
Gold-tone buttons appear tarnished
Gently polish the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a specialized metal cleaner sparingly, avoiding contact with the fabric.
Fabric feels stiff or less stretchy
Check that you are not using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can degrade the stretch fibers. Re-wash with a mild detergent if necessary.
