FAQs
What size should I order?
This skirt is described as 'true to size' and a 'regular fit.' We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size for the best fit.
How do I properly wash this skirt?
The skirt is machine washable. For best results, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Hang to air dry to help maintain the pleats and fabric quality.
What is the material composition of the skirt?
The skirt is made from 97% Polyester and 3% Viscose, offering a comfortable and flowing drape.
What is the length of the skirt?
The skirt has a maxi length, approximately 89cm, designed to fall to the ankles or floor depending on your height.
Can I wear this skirt for more formal occasions?
While designed for a relaxed, off-duty look with a casual tee and trainers, you can dress it up with a more elegant top and appropriate footwear for smart-casual events.
Is the waistband comfortable?
Yes, the skirt features a contrasting elasticated waistband specifically designed for comfort and ease of wear.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears too long or drags on the ground.
Consider pairing the skirt with shoes that have a slight heel or platform (e.g., wedges, heeled sandals). Alternatively, for a permanent solution, you can have the hem professionally altered to your preferred length.
Wrinkles develop after washing or wear.
After washing, hang the skirt immediately to air dry. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer to gently remove them, or iron on a very low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric.
The skirt feels stiff or lacks fluidity.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and mild detergent when washing. A small amount of fabric softener during the rinse cycle can help maintain the fabric's soft drape. Avoid overloading the washing machine.
Static cling is present, especially in dry conditions.
Use a fabric softener when washing, or apply an anti-static spray to the skirt before wearing. A simple trick is to rub a dryer sheet over the fabric to reduce static.

Care

- Washing: The skirt is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water.

- Drying: To maintain the pleats and fabric integrity, it's best to air dry by hanging the skirt. Avoid tumble drying as it can damage the pleats and fabric.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side, to avoid flattening the pleats. A steamer can also be used for quick wrinkle removal.
- Storage: Hang the skirt to keep the pleats crisp and prevent creasing.
