FAQs

What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is made from a soft stretch bengaline material, consisting of 74% Viscose, 23% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane, offering both comfort and flexibility.

Is this skirt suitable for work?

Yes, its flattering pencil silhouette, knee-length, and versatile plain design make it ideal for professional settings. Pair it with a blouse and blazer for a smart casual office look.

How do I determine my size?

The skirt is designed to be true to size for a UK size 18. It features an elasticated waistband and stretch fabric for a comfortable fit. Refer to a standard UK women's dress size chart if unsure.

Can I tumble dry this skirt?

It is recommended to air dry the skirt flat or hang it to dry. Tumble drying may cause shrinking or damage to the fabric's elasticity and shape, and is generally not advised.

Does the skirt have pockets?

No, the skirt features a clean, plain design with an elasticated waistband and a back split detail, but it does not include pockets.

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a knee-length design, measuring approximately 60-61cm, providing a classic and versatile silhouette.

Can I wear this skirt in warm weather?

Yes, the soft, breathable bengaline blend, particularly with its Viscose content, makes it a comfortable option for warmer weather. It can be styled for a casual cool Summer outfit.

Is the elastic waistband comfortable for long periods?

Yes, the elasticated waistband is designed for comfort and ease of wear, allowing for flexibility without digging in. Its pull-on style ensures a smooth fit without restrictive closures.

Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too tight or too loose.

While designed for a true-to-size fit (UK size 18), individual body shapes vary. Ensure you've selected the correct size. The stretch fabric offers some flexibility, but if it feels significantly off, consider consulting a sizing guide or trying an alternative size.

Fabric appears creased after washing.

The bengaline fabric can sometimes hold creases if left in the washing machine. Remove promptly after the cycle and hang immediately to dry. If creases persist, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, to smooth them out.

Elastic waistband feels uncomfortable or rolls during wear.

Ensure the skirt is pulled up fully and sitting at your natural waist. If the elastic rolls, it might indicate it's slightly too snug or that the skirt needs to be adjusted during wear for a smooth fit. Confirm the sizing is correct for your waist measurements.

Care Instructions
