Product Information
Full details
This Roman Pleated Elastic Waist Maxi Skirt is designed for women seeking a versatile and comfortable garment that effortlessly transitions from casual to elegant settings. Its key win is the ability to be dressed up or down for various occasions, thanks to its classic pleating and easy-wear elastic waist. However, as a maxi-length skirt made primarily of polyester, some users may find the 89cm length requires tailoring for optimal fit, and breathability might be less than natural fibers.

FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
This skirt is described as 'regular fit' and 'true to size.' We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size for the best fit. Refer to a standard Roman UK size guide if available for precise measurements.
Can I wear this skirt in warm weather?
While made of 99% Polyester, its flowing design can be comfortable in warm weather. However, it may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers like cotton or linen. Pair it with light, breathable tops for comfort.
What is the exact length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 89cm from the waist to the hem, categorizing it as a maxi length.
Is the skirt lined?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if the skirt is lined.
Will the elastic waist be comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the elastic waist is designed for comfort and ease of movement, providing a flexible fit that remains comfortable throughout the day without digging in.
How do I maintain the pleats after washing?
To help maintain the pleats, wash on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh wringing. Air dry by hanging, and gently reshape the pleats while damp. A steamer can be used to refresh and redefine pleats if needed.
Troubleshooting
Pleats are losing their crispness after washing.
After washing, gently reshape the pleats while the skirt is damp. Hang to air dry, or use a steamer on a low setting to redefine the pleats. Avoid harsh wringing or twisting.
Skirt feels too long.
The skirt has a maxi length of approximately 89cm. If it's too long for your preference or height, consider professional tailoring for a custom hem.
Skirt has static cling.
Static cling can be common with synthetic fabrics. Use an anti-static spray on the skirt, or add a fabric softener sheet to your dryer cycle (if tumble drying on low). Ensure the skirt is completely dry.
Fabric appears wrinkled or creased.
Polyester is generally wrinkle-resistant, but if creases occur, a garment steamer is highly effective for smoothing them out without direct heat. If ironing, use a low temperature and a pressing cloth.

Product Care
To ensure your Roman Pleated Maxi Skirt retains its quality and appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable. For best results and to help maintain the pleats, wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Air dry by hanging or lay flat to dry. If using a machine dryer, tumble dry on low heat for a short period and remove while still slightly damp to minimize wrinkling and protect pleats. Do not over-dry.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side, and use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and pleats. Avoid directly pressing over the pleats to prevent flattening; a steamer is often preferred to refresh pleats.
- Storage: Hang the skirt to store, allowing the pleats to fall naturally and prevent creasing.
