FAQs
What material is the skirt made of?
The skirt is made from a cotton-rich fabrication with a small amount of elastane for added comfort and ease of movement.
What is the length of the skirt?
The midi-length skirt falls approximately 82cm in length.
How should I style this skirt for work?
For work, pair it with a tucked-in blouse or a fine-knit top, and complete the look with heeled shoes or smart flats and a blazer.
Can this skirt be worn in different seasons?
Yes, the skirt is versatile. It can be styled with lighter tops and sandals in warmer months and with tights, boots, and sweaters in cooler weather.
How do I clean the skirt?
It is recommended to machine wash cold or hand wash with like colors, inside out. Lay flat to dry and iron on a low heat setting.
Are the gold buttons purely decorative?
The description highlights the buttons as a 'sharp, considered detail' and a 'statement cuff bracelet' is mentioned as a finishing touch, implying the buttons are functional or a significant design feature rather than purely decorative.
What is the fit of the skirt?

Troubleshooting
Skirt appears creased after washing.
Gently steam the skirt or iron on a low setting while damp. Ensure proper drying and storage methods are followed.
Buttons feel loose.
Carefully reinforce the buttons by hand-stitching them more securely. Avoid machine washing if buttons are significantly loose.
Fabric feels stiff.
Ensure the skirt is washed according to care instructions. A fabric softener used sparingly during the final rinse cycle might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
