Product Information
Full details
The Lauren by Ralph Lauren Pleated Skirt is a versatile addition to an adult woman's wardrobe, designed for those who value a refined silhouette with effortless movement. Its primary benefit is the structured, vertical pleating that maintains a sharp shape while resisting bulk, making it ideal for both professional and smart-casual settings. Please note that as a pleated garment, it requires careful handling during storage to prevent the pleats from losing their crisp definition over time.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does the skirt have a lining?
The skirt is designed with a focus on a smooth drape and structure, maintaining a clean look without extra bulk.
Can I iron this skirt?
Ironing is generally not recommended for pleated garments. If wrinkles occur, use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance.
How should I store this to protect the pleats?
Always hang the skirt vertically. Never fold or roll the skirt, as this can permanently crease or flatten the pleat structure.
Is the waistband adjustable?
The waistband is elasticated, providing a comfortable, self-adjusting fit rather than a manual buckle or tie adjustment.
What is the best way to clean the skirt?
A cold, delicate machine wash or hand wash is best. Always check the care label on the garment for the most specific manufacturer instructions.
Troubleshooting
Pleats look flattened after travel
Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes. The gentle humidity often helps the fabric relax back into its original pleated form.
Elastic waistband feels too tight
The elastic is designed for a secure hold. Ensure you are not pulling the skirt over bulky layers that may interfere with the intended fit at the natural waistline.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lauren by Ralph Lauren Pleated Skirt remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always hang the skirt by the waistband using a skirt hanger with clips. Avoid folding the skirt for extended periods, as this can crush the pleats.
- Washing: Use a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or heavy agitation, which can permanently relax the pleats.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a flat surface or hung up. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric structure.
- Styling Compatibility: The UK 16 size is designed for a comfortable fit; ensure you measure your waist to confirm alignment with the elasticated band for optimal comfort.
