FAQs
What material is the skirt made from?
The skirt is made from a soft stretch bengaline material, specifically 74% Viscose, 23% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane, providing both comfort and flexibility.
Is the skirt true to size?
Yes, the Roman Pull On Stretch Elastic Waist Pencil Skirt is designed for a regular fit and is true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK dress size.
How long is the skirt?
The skirt has a length of approximately 61cm, designed to be a knee-length pencil skirt.
Can I wear this skirt for work?
Absolutely. Its classic black color, knee-length, and smart-casual style make it ideal for professional environments when paired with appropriate blouses and blazers.
How do I care for this skirt?
This skirt is machine washable. We recommend washing with similar colors on a gentle cycle, using cold or warm water, and either line drying or tumble drying on a low setting. Do not bleach.
Does it have pockets?
The product description does not mention pockets. This style focuses on a smooth, flattering silhouette.
What does 'bengaline material' mean?
Bengaline is a woven fabric known for its ribbed texture and excellent stretch properties, especially in the crosswise direction. It provides a comfortable, figure-flattering fit with good drape.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size; the skirt is designed to be true to size. If it feels too snug, consider trying one size up to ensure optimal comfort given its fitted style and elasticated waist.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
The blend of viscose and polyamide can sometimes crease. To minimize this, remove the skirt promptly from the washing machine and hang it to air dry. If creases remain, lightly iron on a low setting or use a garment steamer.
Elastic waistband rolls or twists.
This can happen if the skirt is slightly too large or if it's not sitting correctly on your natural waist. Adjust the skirt's position on your waist. If the issue persists, the size might not be optimal, or it could be a rare manufacturing anomaly (Info needed: Check for internal stitching that secures the elastic).
Skirt doesn't hang smoothly.
Ensure the skirt is worn on the natural waistline. Check that the back split is aligned centrally. The stretch fabric is designed to drape well, so unevenness might indicate an incorrect fit or a need to adjust how it sits on your body.
