FAQs

What occasions is the Ella Bias Cut Skirt suitable for?

The skirt is ideal for formal events, weddings, cocktail parties, dinners, and other special occasions where elegant attire is appropriate. It can also be dressed down for sophisticated evening wear.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to standard UK sizing. The skirt has a regular fit and a straight shape, designed to skim the body. Consider your usual dress size. For specific measurements, consult a size chart if available.

Can I machine wash the skirt?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash satin. Hand wash in cold water or dry clean to maintain the fabric's quality and appearance.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a maxi length, measuring approximately 97cm.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is made from satin, providing a luxurious feel and elegant drape.

Can I wear this skirt with other tops besides the matching Ella Cami?

Does the skirt come in other colors?

Yes, the Ella Bias Cut Skirt is available in other colors such as Bronze, in addition to this Black version.

Troubleshooting

Satin fabric appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the skirt on a cool setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat ironing.

Zipper feels stiff.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth.

Skirt doesn't drape as expected.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The bias cut is designed to skim the body; if too tight or too loose, the drape may be affected. Check care instructions to ensure fabric hasn't been damaged by improper washing.
