FAQs
What is the length of the midi skirt?
The midi length falls to approximately 93cm.
Can I wear this skirt for casual occasions?
While versatile, the satin finish and tailored cut make it most suitable for formal or semi-formal events. It can be dressed down slightly with more casual tops and footwear, but its inherent elegance leans towards dressier settings.
Does the skirt come with a belt?
No, the skirt does not come with a belt. However, it features belt loops, allowing you to add your own slim belt for a personalized look.
How should I care for the satin fabric?
The skirt is dry clean only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to maintain the fabric's quality and sheen.
Is the skirt true to size?
The skirt is designed with a tailored, body-skimming cut. It is recommended to consult the size guide and consider your measurements for the best fit, especially around the waist and hips.
What type of shoes pair well with this skirt?
Elegant footwear such as strappy heels, pointed-toe pumps, or dressy mules complement the skirt's sophisticated style. For daytime events, block heels can also be a suitable option.
Can the front split be adjusted?
The front split is a design feature and is not intended to be adjusted. Any tailoring would require professional alteration services.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears creased after storage.
Gently iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. If creases are stubborn, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
Satin fabric looks dull.
Ensure the skirt is not exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade the fabric's luster. Follow dry clean only instructions.
Front split is too high or too low.
The split is designed as a feature; alterations to its position would require professional tailoring and may affect the skirt's overall drape.
