Full details

FAQs
What occasions is this skirt best suited for?
This skirt is ideal for formal events such as weddings, ceremonies, galas, and elegant evening occasions. It can also be styled for sophisticated daytime events or business luncheons.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide. Measure your waist and hips accurately and compare these measurements to the provided size chart. Given the tailored fit, precise measurements are important.
Can I wear this skirt in different seasons?
Yes, the skirt can be worn year-round. For cooler seasons, pair it with tights, boots, and a warm knit or blazer. In warmer weather, it pairs well with lighter tops and sandals.
What type of top pairs best with this skirt?
Fitted tops, blouses, silk camisoles, or fine-knit sweaters that can be tucked in work best to showcase the skirt's tailored silhouette and fitted waistband. Structured blazers also complement the style.
How do I care for the satin fabric?
It is generally recommended to dry clean satin garments. If hand washing, use cold water with a mild detergent and avoid wringing or high heat. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Does the skirt have much stretch?
The skirt is made from a woven satin fabric and has minimal to no stretch. The tailored fit is designed to skim the body rather than stretch over it. Ensure you select the correct size.
What is the length of the midi skirt?
The midi length falls to approximately 93cm from the waistband.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. As this is a tailored fit, consider if a larger size is needed or if alternative styles with more stretch might be more comfortable.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.
Hang the skirt and allow it to naturally de-wrinkle. If creases persist, use a steamer or iron on a very low heat setting on the reverse side, potentially with a pressing cloth.
Satin sheen looks dull after washing.
This may indicate improper cleaning. Professional dry cleaning is best for preserving the satin's finish. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat during any washing process.
Front split does not lay flat.
Ensure the skirt is properly aligned when worn. The split is designed for movement; if it consistently lays awkwardly, check for any internal stitching that might be pulling.
