Can I machine wash this skirt?

What shoes pair best with this fishtail hem?
Pointed-toe heels or classic court shoes are ideal, as they complement the elongated silhouette of the skirt.
Is this skirt suitable for a black-tie event?

How should I store the skirt to keep the hem in good condition?
Store the skirt hanging on a skirt-specific hanger or a padded hanger to ensure the fabric remains smooth and the hem maintains its shape.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled upon arrival
Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the satin.
Small snag or pull in the fabric
Do not pull at the thread. Take the garment to a professional tailor who can safely manipulate the fibers back into place.
Difficulty with the closure mechanism
Ensure the garment is laid flat and the zipper path is clear of any inner lining or fabric before attempting to zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a tailored garment, the fit is designed to be precise; ensure you select the appropriate UK size to maintain the intended hip-hugging silhouette. Because the item is crafted from fine satin, it is imperative to store the garment on a padded hanger to avoid hanger marks or fabric stress. For cleaning, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this will damage the delicate satin finish and structural integrity of the hem. Always check the internal garment label for specific care instructions, though professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's luster.
