FAQs

What is the total length of the skirt?

The skirt measures approximately 139cm in length.

Is this material stretchy?

Yes, it is constructed from compact stretch polyester, allowing for a comfortable fit that keeps its structured shape.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

We recommend checking the specific care label on the garment; however, given the delicate lining and waterfall construction, professional dry cleaning is the safest option.

Does it have a train?

It features a waterfall hem that creates a subtle train effect at the back, but it is not a traditional long-train bridal skirt.

What events is this best suited for?

It is ideal for weddings, graduation ceremonies, formal dinners, and race days.

Troubleshooting

Hem dragging on the ground

Consider wearing shoes with a higher heel height or consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted.

Wrinkles in the waterfall fabric

Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release wrinkles without damaging the stretch properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and sophisticated design suitable for black-tie or formal events
  • High-quality compact stretch fabric ensures the garment holds its shape
  • Fully lined interior increases garment longevity and wearing comfort
  • Flowing movement from the flared cut makes it ideal for photographs and events

Cons

  • The 139cm length may require hemming for shorter individuals
  • Requires careful storage to avoid wrinkling the waterfall hem
  • Hand wash or professional cleaning recommended due to the delicate nature of the construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your skirt maintains its shape, always store it hanging vertically to prevent deep creases in the waterfall train. Due to the polyester construction and formal nature, it is best paired with high-heeled footwear to prevent the hem from dragging on the ground, which protects the fabric from wear. For cleaning, check the inner garment label specifically for care instructions; generally, machine washing is discouraged for high-structure, fully-lined pieces like this, and professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the seams and the internal lining.
