FAQs

What occasions is this skirt suitable for?

The Ella Bias Cut Skirt is ideal for special occasions such as weddings, parties, formal dinners, and evening events due to its elegant satin material and maxi length.

How do I create a matching set?

Pair the Ella Bias Cut Skirt with the matching Ella Cami Top. Both pieces are designed to complement each other for a sophisticated co-ord look.

What is the best way to care for the satin fabric?

Satin requires delicate care. We recommend dry cleaning only to maintain the fabric's integrity and sheen. Avoid washing or tumble drying.

How does the bias cut affect the fit?

The bias cut allows the fabric to stretch diagonally, resulting in a beautiful drape that delicately skims the body and creates a flattering silhouette.

Can I wear this skirt for casual events?

While versatile, the satin material and maxi length make it best suited for more formal or dressed-up occasions. It can be dressed down slightly with a fine knit, but is generally not intended for very casual wear.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a maxi length of approximately 97cm.

Does the skirt run true to size?

The skirt is designed for a regular fit. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements to ensure the best fit. Model Daisy wears a UK size 8.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging

Handle with extreme care. Avoid contact with rough surfaces. If a small snag occurs, do not pull; gently try to smooth it with your finger. For larger snags, professional repair may be necessary.

Creasing

Hang the skirt to allow creases to fall naturally. If ironing is necessary, use a very cool setting on the reverse side of the fabric, ideally with a pressing cloth. Professional steaming is recommended.

Zipper sticking

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is straight. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth. Do not force the zipper.
