Can I machine wash this skirt?

Dry cleaning is recommended to best preserve the fabric quality and delicate lace trim. If hand washing is attempted, use cold water and a mild detergent, then lay flat to dry.

What is the fit like?

The skirt has a tiered design with a defined waist. The pleating in the mid-tier allows for graceful movement, and the overall silhouette is flowing yet structured.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For deeper wrinkles, dry clean or very carefully iron on a low heat with a pressing cloth.

Lace trim snagged or damaged

Handle with care during wear and washing. If minor snags occur, attempt to gently tease them apart. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or seamstress for repair.

Fit is not as expected

Review the size guide provided by the brand. Consider the measurements of the skirt and compare them to your own. Alterations may be necessary for a perfect fit.
