FAQs
What materials is the Roman Shimmer Knit Midi Skirt made from?

How long is the skirt?
The skirt has a midi length, approximately 80cm long.
Is the skirt true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a regular fit and is true to size, offering a reliable fit according to standard UK women's dress sizes.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
Yes, the skirt is machine washable. For best results and to preserve the shimmer, wash on a gentle cycle with cool water and a mild detergent.
What seasons is this skirt best suited for?
While versatile, its knit construction and shimmer make it particularly well-suited for Autumn/Winter seasons, offering both style and comfort.
Does the elasticated waist provide much stretch?
The elasticated waist provides a comfortable and adaptable fit, offering a good degree of flexibility without being overly restrictive.
Can this skirt be worn for formal occasions?
Absolutely. Its shimmer and elegant midi length allow it to be easily dressed up with appropriate tops, footwear, and accessories for formal or evening events.
Troubleshooting
Shimmer appears to be fading or dull.
Ensure you are washing the skirt on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and cool water. Harsh chemicals or excessive agitation can damage the metallised fibres. Air dry flat and avoid direct high heat during ironing.
Skirt feels tighter or looser than expected.
Verify the size chosen aligns with your usual UK dress size, as the skirt is designed to be true to size. The elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but if it's consistently uncomfortable, check the Roman size guide or consider exchanging for an alternative size if available.
Fabric developing pulls or snags.
Knit fabrics, especially those with metallised fibres, can be prone to snagging. Be mindful of rough surfaces, jewelry, or sharp objects that could catch on the fabric. Always wash with similar delicate items to prevent damage.
Skirt losing its shape after washing.
This can occur if the skirt is hung wet or tumble dried. Always air dry flat on a clean, dry surface to allow the fabric to retain its original shape and prevent stretching. Gentle reshaping while damp can also help.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial to maintain the shimmer and integrity of the fabric blend.
- Washing: The skirt is Machine Washable. To protect the delicate shimmer and fabric blend (40% Viscose, 37% Polyester, 17% Polyamide, 6% Metallised Fibre), always wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
- Temperature: Wash at a cool temperature, typically 30°C (86°F), to prevent shrinking or damage to the metallised fibres.
- Drying: Info needed: Specific drying instructions. It is generally recommended to air dry flat to maintain the skirt's shape and prevent stretching or damage to the knit. Avoid tumble drying.
- Ironing: Info needed: Ironing instructions. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting inside out, using a pressing cloth to protect the shimmer. Avoid direct high heat.
- Storage: Store the skirt folded rather than hung to prevent stretching out of shape due to its knit construction. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Following these care instructions will help preserve the skirt's soft feel, comfortable fit, and elegant shimmer for many seasons.
