FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is primarily designed for professional and corporate settings. It also transitions well to smart evening events, formal dinners, or gallery openings.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. The bandage construction offers a sculpted fit, so consider your measurements carefully. If you are between sizes, you may wish to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to sit for extended periods.

What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is crafted from a blend that includes Silk and Elastane, designed for a supportive and streamlined look.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

Due to the delicate silk material and bandage construction, machine washing is not recommended. Dry cleaning is the preferred method to maintain the garment's quality and shape.

How long is the skirt?

The skirt has a midi length, falling to approximately 82cm.

How should I care for the contrast stitching?

The contrast stitching is a design element. Avoid snagging the fabric to keep the stitching intact. When cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Does the skirt have any stretch?

Yes, the skirt is crafted with elastane, providing a supportive and sculpted fit that allows for some movement.

Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage construction is designed for a sculpted fit; consider pairing with garments that offer more movement if prolonged sitting is anticipated.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Hang the skirt and allow it to naturally drop the creases. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side, taking care not to apply excessive heat.

Contrast stitching appears uneven.

This is a designed feature for structural detail. If the stitching appears significantly flawed or damaged, consult the product's warranty or return policy.
