FAQs
What size should I choose?
The skirt is designed to be true to size. For this particular product, it is a UK Size 18. We recommend referring to standard UK sizing charts if you are unsure.
Can this skirt be worn for casual occasions?
While the Shimmer Velvet Skirt is primarily designed for evening and glamorous occasions due to its sparkle, it can be dressed down slightly with a simple, solid-color top and more casual boots for a festive daytime look, though it's not ideal for everyday casual wear.
How do I properly wash and care for this skirt?
The skirt is machine washable. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Air dry flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying and iron on a very low setting from the inside out if needed.
What material is the skirt made from?
The skirt is crafted from a blend of 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane, providing both the shimmering velvet effect and a comfortable stretch.
What is the approximate length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 51cm, designed to offer a modern and elegant silhouette.
Does the skirt have pockets?
Yes, the Roman Green Shimmer Velvet Skirt features practical pockets for your convenience.
Will the sparkle fade or rub off easily?
The sparkle is integrated into the fabric for durability. Following the recommended care instructions, especially gentle washing and avoiding harsh abrasion, will help maintain its shimmering appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Sparkle seems dulled or flaking off
Ensure you are washing the skirt on a gentle cycle and air drying as per instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive contact during wear or storage, which can damage the sparkle. If possible, wash inside a mesh laundry bag.
Skirt feels uncomfortable or too tight despite being the correct size
While the skirt has a comfortable waistband and stretch, ensure you have selected your true size. If discomfort persists, check if any undergarments are contributing to the issue, or if the skirt is being worn for an extended period in a very active setting. The 10% Elastane provides some give.
Velvet fabric shows creasing or crushing
To prevent creases, store the skirt either hung on a padded hanger or folded loosely without heavy items on top. For existing creases, use a garment steamer carefully to relax the fabric, or iron on a very low heat setting from the inside out with a protective pressing cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
This skirt is designed for immediate wear. Simply slip it on, leveraging the comfortable waistband for a secure yet flexible fit. No complex setup is required.
Styling & Compatibility
- Tops: For a coordinated, high-impact look, pair with the matching Glitter Velvet Top. It also complements plain elegant blouses, silk camisoles, or fitted knitwear in complementary colors.
- Footwear: Ideal with heeled boots for a chic winter ensemble, or classic pumps and strappy heels for more formal evening events.
- Accessories: Keep accessories elegant and minimalist to let the skirt's inherent shimmer be the focal point. Simple stud earrings or a delicate necklace work best.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the skirt's shimmering appearance and velvet texture.
- Washing: This skirt is machine washable. To best preserve the sparkle and velvet texture, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct heat to prevent damage to the fabric and sparkle. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can affect the velvet and elastic.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting inside out, or use a garment steamer carefully. Avoid direct high heat on the sparkly velvet surface.
- Storage: Store the skirt either folded loosely in a drawer or hung on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the skirt's shape and glitter integrity.
