FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for tall individuals?
This version is specifically cut for a petite frame, meaning the rise and proportions are tailored for shorter heights.
What kind of top looks best with this skirt?
A fitted ribbed top or a sleek square-neck bodysuit works best to balance the volume of the pleated skirt.
Can I machine wash this garment?
Due to the woven twill fabric and structured pleats, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the shape.
How long is the skirt?
The midi length sits at approximately 95cm, designed to fall gracefully below the knee.
Is the waistband elasticated?
No, the waistband is structured to provide a flattering, defined fit at the natural waist.
Is the skirt heavy to wear?
While the twill is structured to hold the shape, it is designed for comfortable all-day wear with a full internal lining.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears too bulky on the frame
Ensure the top worn with the skirt is form-fitting or tucked in tightly to create a clean silhouette at the waistband.
Visible wrinkles in the woven twill
Use a low-heat garment steamer to gently release wrinkles, taking care not to crush the sharp box pleats.
Lining bunching up while walking
Ensure the skirt is properly adjusted at the natural waist; using a light anti-static spray on the lining can help it drape smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the structural integrity of the box pleats, the skirt should be hung on a wide-clip hanger that supports the entire waistband. Avoid folding the garment tightly, as the structured twill can retain creases. For compatibility, this skirt works best with tucked-in or body-con tops; avoiding loose or oversized sweaters will help maintain a clean, high-fashion profile. Given the quality of the woven twill and internal lining, dry cleaning is recommended to prevent the structure from softening or the lining from shrinking. Always check the internal garment care label for specific temperature and cleaning instructions before attempting to launder the item.
