FAQs
Are the side pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed to be discreet and are suitable for small personal items like lip balm or keys, but may not fit larger modern smartphones.
What kind of shoes go best with this skirt?
Strappy heeled sandals elongate the look, while block-heeled mules offer a more relaxed, daytime-appropriate aesthetic.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The skirt is made from a crisp, structured woven fabric, which offers minimal stretch compared to knit skirts, though the shirred waistband provides flexibility.
Is this machine washable?
Due to the delicate nature of the shirring and the structure of the woven fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's quality.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, the skirt transitions well into cooler months when styled with a structured blazer, a fitted knit top, and closed-toe boots.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the woven fabric
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently release creases without damaging the structure of the weave.
Waistband feels too tight
Ensure the skirt is positioned at your natural waist rather than lower on the hips, as the shirring is designed for the narrowest part of the torso.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your skirt maintains its shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dry cleaning or delicate hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the woven fabric and the shirred elastic.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct high heat on the shirred section to prevent damaging the elastic.
- Storage: Hang the skirt using skirt hangers with clips to prevent fabric creases. Avoid folding it for long periods.
- Styling Compatibility: This garment pairs best with fitted tops or tucked-in blouses to maintain the visual balance of the full A-line skirt.
