FAQs
What is the recommended way to clean this skirt?
Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the skirt's structure, drape, and fabric integrity.
How can I style this skirt for a formal event?
Pair it with a matching tailored jacket, a slim belt, and strappy heeled sandals for a cohesive and elegant ensemble. A sophisticated blouse also works well.
What kind of tops work best with the high waist design?
Fitted blouses, tucked-in knitwear, or cropped tops complement the high waist. A slim belt can further define the waistline.
What is the approximate length of the midi skirt?
The midi length sits at approximately 84cm from the waist to the hem.
Can I wear this skirt in warmer weather?
The viscose blend offers breathability, making it suitable for warmer days, especially when paired with lighter tops. However, it is also substantial enough for cooler transitional weather.
What footwear is recommended with this skirt?
Strappy heeled sandals, block-heeled mules, or classic pumps work well to maintain a refined look. For a more casual approach, elegant flats or heeled loafers can also be suitable.
Is the skirt suitable for professional environments?
Yes, its tailored design, midi length, and sophisticated drape make it highly suitable for professional and office settings when styled appropriately.
Troubleshooting
Skirt is creased after storage or travel.
Gently steam the skirt on a low heat setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed. Avoid direct ironing on the main fabric unless on a very low, cool setting on the reverse.
Pleats are losing their structure.
Ensure the skirt is stored correctly by hanging it. If pleats have fallen, professional dry cleaning with precise pleating is the best course of action to restore their definition.
Fabric feels stiff or lacks drape after cleaning.
This might indicate improper cleaning. Professional dry cleaning using appropriate solvents for viscose blends is recommended. Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed.

Care Instructions:
- Fabric Composition: Viscose blend.
- Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric and construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the shape and integrity of the pleats and material.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and iron on the reverse side. Alternatively, steam the skirt to remove wrinkles.
- Storage: Hang the skirt on a padded hanger to preserve its shape and prevent creasing. Avoid folding if possible.
