How should I wash this skirt to best preserve its quality?

What is the approximate length of the skirt?

What is the fit of the skirt?

Troubleshooting
Pleats losing definition after washing.
Gently reshape the pleats while the skirt is still damp. Hang it to air dry or lay it flat on a clean surface. If needed, iron on a low setting, using a pressing cloth for protection, and iron from the inside out.
Skirt appears creased or wrinkled.
Hang the skirt immediately after washing or after wearing to allow gravity to smooth out minor creases. For deeper wrinkles, iron on a low setting, potentially using steam, from the inside out.
Velvet attracting lint or pet hair.
Use a quality lint roller or a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove any surface particles. Brush in one direction to maintain the velvet's pile.

This skirt requires no setup; simply pull it on. It is highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe items, making it a versatile addition. Pair it with various tops such as knitwear, blouses, or even simple t-shirts, and complement with footwear like boots, heels, or smart flats. For optimal care, the skirt is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a delicate cycle with cold water to protect the velvet texture and pleated detail. To preserve the pleats, reshape them gently while the skirt is damp and hang or lay flat to air dry. Avoid high heat when drying, as this can damage the fabric and cause the pleats to lose their definition. If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature setting and iron from the inside out, or use a pressing cloth for protection.
