FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, the Shimmer Velvet Skirt's all-over sparkle and glamorous design make it primarily suitable for evening events, parties, and special occasions rather than casual daytime wear.
What is the material composition of the skirt?
The skirt is made from 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane, providing a luxurious velvet feel with comfortable stretch.
How should I wash this skirt?
This skirt is machine washable. For best results, wash it inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
Does the sparkle fabric shed glitter?
Like many sparkle fabrics, minimal shedding of glitter may occur, especially during initial wears. Turning the skirt inside out before washing can help mitigate this.
What is the approximate length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 51cm.
What is the best way to dry the skirt?
It is recommended to air dry the skirt by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the velvet and sparkle.
Can I iron this velvet skirt?
Yes, but with caution. Use a very low heat setting and iron from the inside out, or use a steamer. Always place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the velvet pile and sparkle.
Troubleshooting
Sparkle appears to be shedding
Some minimal shedding of glitter is common with sparkle fabrics. Gently shake the skirt outdoors before first wear. To reduce shedding during washing, turn the skirt inside out.
Skirt feels wrinkled or creased
Velvet can crease easily. Use a garment steamer to gently remove wrinkles. If using an iron, ensure it's on a very low setting, use a pressing cloth, and iron from the inside of the skirt to avoid damaging the velvet pile or sparkle.
Skirt feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size (Size 12 UK for this variant). While the skirt contains elastane for stretch, an incorrect size can still lead to discomfort. Check that the waistband is sitting at your natural waistline for the most comfortable fit.
Velvet looks dull or flattened
This can happen if the pile is crushed. Gently brush the velvet in the direction of the pile with a soft garment brush. Avoid sitting on rough surfaces for extended periods, which can flatten the velvet.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the skirt's shimmer and velvet quality for longer:
- Washing: This skirt is machine washable. To best preserve the fabric and sparkle, wash it inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the velvet and sparkle elements.
- Drying: It is recommended to air dry the skirt by laying it flat or hanging it to prevent stretching or damage to the velvet pile. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can harm the fabric and sparkle.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting from the inside out, or use a steamer. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron on the velvet surface to prevent crushing the pile or dulling the sparkle. Always use a pressing cloth if ironing directly.
- Storage: Store the skirt by hanging it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creases in the velvet. Avoid tightly folding it for extended periods.
