FAQs
What is LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose?
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose is a sustainable type of viscose derived from certified renewable wood sources. It is produced using an eco-responsible process that generates significantly lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose.
How long is the skirt?
The length of the skirt is 85cm. The model, Maddie, who is 5'10" (177cm), wears a UK size 8, providing a reference for how the length might appear on different heights.
Can this skirt be worn in different seasons?
Yes, the skirt is versatile. It can be worn in warmer months with lighter tops and sandals, and in cooler weather layered with knitwear, tights, and boots.
What does 'bias cut' mean for the fit?
A bias cut means the fabric is cut diagonally across the grain of the cloth. This allows the fabric to drape and cling more softly to the body, creating a flattering and fluid silhouette, especially with materials like viscose.
How should I care for the leopard print?
The care instructions for the skirt apply to the entire garment, including the print. Following the recommended hand wash or gentle machine wash and low-heat ironing will help preserve the vibrancy and integrity of the leopard pattern.
What is the fit like?
The skirt has a regular fit that is specifically fitted at the waist. It then drapes loosely from the hips due to the bias cut.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears creased after washing
Iron on a low heat setting while the skirt is damp, or use a steam iron. Ensure you follow the specific washing instructions to minimize creasing.
Fabric feels stiff or lost its softness
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a gentle wash cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying. Hand washing and air drying are best for maintaining softness.
The fit at the waist is too tight/loose
The skirt is designed to be fitted at the waist. If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a different size or consulting the size guide. The side zip allows for a snug fit, but significant alterations may be complex due to the bias cut.
