FAQs

What is the best way to clean this skirt?

Due to the delicate nature of the satin material, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the fabric's sheen and structure.

Does the skirt run true to size?

The skirt is designed as a tailored fit. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure the hip measurement aligns with your requirements for a close, comfortable fit.

Can I wear this to a graduation ceremony?

Yes, its sophisticated and midi-length design makes it highly appropriate for formal daytime events such as graduations, races, and weddings.

What type of shoes look best with the fishtail hem?

Classic pointed-toe heels or elegant strappy sandals complement the elongated silhouette of the fishtail hem perfectly.

Is the fabric prone to stretching?

As it is crafted from structured satin, it is intended to hold its shape. Avoid overstretching the fabric by choosing the correct size for your frame.

Troubleshooting

Small snag in the satin fabric

Do not pull the thread. Gently attempt to smooth the surrounding fabric to redistribute the tension, or take it to a professional tailor for repair.

Wrinkles upon removal from storage

Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting, keeping it at least six inches away from the fabric, or have it professionally pressed.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made of premium satin, it is essential to treat it with care. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to prevent pulling the threads of the fabric. To maintain the skirt’s shape and luster, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning rather than machine washing. When storing, hang the skirt in a breathable garment bag to avoid dust and prevent crushing the satin finish. Ensure that your choice of accessories—such as jewelry or bags—does not have sharp edges that could snag the material.
