FAQs

What occasions is this skirt suitable for?

This skirt is highly versatile. It's suitable for garden parties, gallery openings, sophisticated brunches, office wear, and can be dressed up for evening events with appropriate accessories.

How does the sizing run for this skirt?

The skirt is designed with a high-waisted, full silhouette. It's recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements, as UK sizing (Size 10 in this instance) is provided.

Can this skirt be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the linen-blend fabric offers breathability, making it suitable for warmer seasons. However, like most linen, it may wrinkle more readily in high humidity.

What type of tops pair best with this skirt?

This skirt pairs well with a variety of tops, from crisp white shirts and tailored blouses for a polished look, to simple knit tops or t-shirts for a more casual ensemble. A coordinating sleeveless blazer is also suggested for a modern tailoring look.

How should I care for the linen-blend material?

Always check the care label first. Generally, linen blends benefit from dry cleaning or careful hand washing in cold water, followed by laying flat or hanging to dry. Ironing on a medium setting while damp or using steam is recommended.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a versatile 81cm length, designed to sit elegantly at mid-calf.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled after washing/drying.

Iron the skirt on a medium heat setting while it is slightly damp. Using a steam iron can also help remove stubborn wrinkles effectively.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.

If hand-washed, ensure all detergent is thoroughly rinsed out. For dry cleaning, communicate any concerns about fabric stiffness to the cleaner. Ensure proper drying methods are used as per the care label.

Buttons feel loose or are damaged.

Carefully reinforce loose buttons with a needle and thread. If a button is significantly damaged or missing, contact customer service or a tailor for a replacement.
