FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is ideal for formal events such as weddings, parties, race days, graduations, and other special occasions where a sophisticated look is desired.

How should I care for the satin fabric?

It is recommended to dry clean the skirt only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to preserve the fabric's sheen and the integrity of the pleats.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a midi length, sitting approximately 93cm from the waistband to the hem.

What is the waistband detail?

The waistband is structured and wide, featuring tuxedo-inspired button detail at the side for a sharp, tailored accent.

Is the skirt lined?

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or have it professionally dry cleaned to restore the pleats and smooth the fabric.

Satin fabric snagged.

Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary.

Waistband feels too tight.

As this is a tailored fit with minimal stretch, ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, a tailor may be able to assist.
