FAQs

What is the length of this skirt?

This midi skirt falls to approximately 83cm, typically hitting mid-calf depending on your height.

Is the material machine washable?

No, due to the high wool content, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning to prevent shrinking or damage to the structured design.

The design focuses on a smooth, streamlined silhouette and does not include pockets.

How does the waist fit?

The skirt is designed with a structured high waistband to provide a fitted, defined silhouette.

Can I wear this in the summer?

The wool material is best suited for cooler seasons or air-conditioned office environments.

Does the front split affect modesty?

The split is designed to be subtle, providing ease of movement while maintaining a composed and professional aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the wool fabric

Hang the skirt in a humid environment, such as a steamy bathroom, to allow the fibers to relax, or use a handheld steamer from a safe distance.

Minor pilling after extended wear

Gently use a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb to remove pills, moving in the direction of the grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your skirt maintains its tailored shape and premium feel:

  1. Storage: Always hang the skirt on a proper skirt hanger using the internal loops to prevent the waistband from distorting.
  2. Cleaning: Given the wool construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's natural fibers and the integrity of the front fold detail.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-heat steam setting if necessary, keeping the iron moving constantly to avoid scorching the wool.
  4. Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with tucked-in blouses, lightweight knitwear, and classic court shoes or ankle boots.
