FAQs

How do I wash the Roman Pleated Elastic Waist Midi Skirt?

This skirt requires hand washing only. Please refer to the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for detailed instructions to preserve its pleats and fabric.

Is the waistband comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the skirt features an elasticated waistband specifically designed to provide comfort and a flexible fit throughout the day.

What is the approximate length of this midi skirt?

The skirt has an approximate length of 70cm, offering a classic midi style.

Can this skirt be worn for formal events?

Absolutely. Its elegant pleating and versatile design allow it to be dressed up with an elegant blouse and heels, making it suitable for dinner dates or semi-formal occasions.

What materials is the skirt made from?

The skirt is made from 97% Polyester and 3% Elastane, offering durability and a slight stretch.

Does this skirt run true to size?

Yes, it is designed for a regular fit and generally runs true to size. We recommend checking the brand's specific size guide if you are unsure.

How do I prevent wrinkles in the pleated fabric?

To minimize wrinkles, store the skirt on a hanger. If wrinkles occur, gentle steaming is recommended. Avoid direct ironing as it can damage the pleats.

Troubleshooting

The skirt appears wrinkled after storage or wear.

Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a hand-held steamer on a low setting. Avoid direct high heat from an iron, as this can damage the pleats and fabric.

The pleats seem to be losing their shape after washing.

Ensure you are strictly hand washing and not wringing the skirt. When air drying, carefully reshape the pleats by hand while the fabric is still damp, and lay it flat or hang it properly to dry completely.

The elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose.

Verify that you have selected the correct size according to the sizing guide. While it's designed to be true to size, personal preference for waist comfort can vary. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size.

The fabric feels less soft or has a rough texture after washing.

This can happen if detergent isn't fully rinsed out. Ensure thorough rinsing with cool water during hand washing. Using a fabric conditioner specifically designed for delicate garments during the final rinse might also help, though it wasn't specified by the manufacturer.
