FAQs
What is the length of this skirt?
The skirt features a midi length of approximately 93cm.
Is the fabric machine washable?
While the skirt is made of durable polyester, it is best to use a delicate cycle or hand wash to preserve the shape of the ruched waistband and the drape of the crepe.
Does the skirt offer much stretch?
Yes, the garment is designed with stretch fibers to ensure a comfortable and flexible fit for various body types.
Is the skirt lined?
Yes, it is fully lined to provide a smooth, polished finish and extra opacity.
Can this be worn for formal events?
Absolutely. The handkerchief hem and fluid drape make it an excellent choice for evening dinners, cocktail events, or professional settings.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the crepe fabric
Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric to smooth out creases safely.
Static cling
Lightly mist the inside of the lining with a fabric anti-static spray or run a wire hanger along the inner lining before putting the skirt on.
Loose threads or snagging
Do not pull loose threads; use a small pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim any snagged material flush with the surface of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt in optimal condition, always check the internal care label. Given the delicate nature of the crepe fabric, it is recommended to use a gentle cycle with cold water if machine washing, or preferably hand wash the garment to protect the ruched detailing. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic stretch fibers and compromise the drape. When storing, hang the skirt on a skirt-specific hanger that grips the waistband to prevent the hem panels from becoming misshapen or wrinkled.
