FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for tall women?
This specific model is the 'Petite' variant with an 88cm length, designed specifically for shorter frames. It may appear shorter than a standard maxi skirt on taller individuals.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the side pockets are integrated into the pleating and are fully functional for carrying small personal items.
How should I clean this skirt?
Given the material and construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and fabric quality.
Does the skirt require a petticoat for volume?
No, the skirt is constructed from a structured woven twill that is designed to hold its own volume and shape without the need for an underskirt.
Can this be worn for casual events?
While versatile, the dramatic silhouette is primarily intended for formal occasions such as black-tie events, weddings, or ceremonies.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing in the fabric
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting from a distance, or have the item professionally pressed to restore the pleat architecture.
Skirt losing its voluminous shape
Ensure the skirt is stored hanging rather than folded; if the lining catches, gently smooth the pleats by hand to reset their position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate structure and the specific weave of the twill, this garment is designed to be worn straight from the wardrobe with minimal adjustment. When caring for your skirt, prioritize professional cleaning to maintain the integrity of the pleats and the weight of the twill. Avoid high-heat ironing, which can damage the internal lining or flatten the architectural volume of the pleats. Store the skirt hanging on a skirt-specific hanger that clips onto the waistband, ensuring the pleated section hangs freely to avoid crushing the fabric structure.
