FAQs

Is the skirt true to size?

The skirt is designed as a tailored fit. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure the waist measurement aligns with your typical UK sizing.

Can I put this skirt in the washing machine?

Due to the delicate nature of the gold-tone hardware and the draping, hand washing or professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's quality.

What kind of shoes should I wear with this?

The maxi length works exceptionally well with pointed-toe heels or ankle boots to maintain the elegant, elongated look of the silhouette.

Does the skirt come in other colors?

Yes, this specific style is available in both black and red, providing options for different color preferences.

Is the fabric prone to snagging?

While the polyester blend is durable, it is best to avoid contact with sharp or abrasive objects to ensure the smooth drape and fabric integrity remain intact.

Troubleshooting

Hardware appears dull or tarnished

Gently polish the metal surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to restore its shine.

Fabric wrinkles after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting to safely remove wrinkles without risking damage to the polyester fabric or hardware.

Wrap panel feels insecure

Ensure the internal fasteners are properly aligned and that the wrap is secured snugly at the waist before closing the primary feature hardware.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, fashion-forward aesthetic
  • Versatile for both professional and evening wear
  • Fluid fabric ensures graceful movement
  • Fully lined for structural integrity and comfort

Cons

  • Gold-tone hardware requires gentle care to avoid scratches
  • Polyester material may require specific temperature settings for ironing
  • Hand wash or professional cleaning recommended to preserve finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features specialized metallic hardware, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. Always check the garment tag for specific care instructions, but generally, it is advised to dry clean or hand wash to prevent damage to the gold-tone finish of the safety pin. When ironing, avoid applying direct heat to the hardware. For styling, this skirt pairs best with slim-fitting tops that do not add bulk to the waistline, such as bodysuits or lightweight knitwear. If wearing in colder months, a structured blazer complements the tailored construction, while a pair of pointed-toe heels will help elongate the leg line against the maxi hem.
