FAQs

What is the best way to wash this skirt?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the delicate broderie anglaise. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

Can I wear this skirt for a formal event?

Yes, the skirt can be dressed up for formal events by pairing it with heeled sandals, an elegant blouse, and refined jewellery. It is also suitable as a guest outfit for a summer wedding.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

The skirt has a gently gathered silhouette for a relaxed drape. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit; sizing down may offer a more tailored look, while sizing up will provide a looser, more flowing feel.

How do I style this skirt for casual wear?

For a casual look, pair the skirt with a simple fitted top or a basic t-shirt tucked in, and finish with flat leather sandals.

Is this skirt part of a set?

Yes, this skirt is designed to coordinate with a matching broderie shirt, creating a cohesive tonal look.

What is the fabric made of?

The skirt is crafted from 100% cotton woven fabric, making it a comfortable and breathable choice for warm-weather dressing.

Troubleshooting

Broderie detailing snagged or pulled

Carefully try to tease the snagged thread back into place with a fine needle. Avoid pulling. If the damage is significant, professional alteration or repair may be needed.

Skirt appears creased after washing

Ensure the skirt is ironed on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Laying flat to dry can also minimize creasing.

Colour fading

Wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially during drying. Use detergents specifically designed for coloured fabrics.
