FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is highly versatile, suitable for professional environments, smart lunches, gallery openings, important office days, and as elegant occasion wear such as for a wedding guest.

How should I style the high waist?

The high waist is designed to be accentuated. You can pair it with a slim belt or tuck in fitted blouses and tops to define your waistline and create a polished silhouette.

What is the approximate length of the midi skirt?

The midi length sits at approximately 84cm, offering a refined and sophisticated hemline.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is constructed from a viscose blend, which contributes to its ability to hold shape while providing a smooth, polished drape.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

No, machine washing is not recommended due to the wool blend and structured pleats. Professional dry cleaning is advised to maintain the garment's quality and shape.

How do I care for the structured pleats?

To maintain the integrity of the pleats, professional dry cleaning is essential. Avoid excessive heat when ironing and always use a pressing cloth.

Does the skirt come in other colors or sizes?

This specific listing is for the Green - Size 18. Other sizes may be available under different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing shape after cleaning.

Ensure the skirt is professionally dry-cleaned, as this is the recommended method for maintaining pleat structure. Avoid home washing or excessive heat during ironing.

Skirt feels stiff or lacks drape.

This is characteristic of the structured design. Ensure the correct size is being worn; an ill-fitting size can affect drape. Allow the garment to naturally soften with wear.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Hang the skirt on a padded hanger to minimize creasing. If creases are present, use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth, or consider professional steaming.
