FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is versatile and suitable for refined office settings, smart weekend lunches, garden events, and other occasions where a polished aesthetic is desired. It can be dressed up or down depending on the accompanying pieces.

How does the sizing run for this skirt?

The skirt features a tailored, high-waisted fit. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide and consider your waist measurement for the most accurate fit. The fabric has a touch of elastane for some flexibility.

What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is crafted from a cotton-rich fabric blended with a touch of elastane, providing both comfort and a structured, polished finish that holds its shape.

How should I care for the button detail?

The gold-toned buttons should be handled with care. When washing, it is advisable to turn the garment inside out. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the buttons. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle and consider a mesh laundry bag.

Can this skirt be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the cotton-rich fabric makes it suitable for warmer weather, especially when paired with lighter tops. The midi length provides coverage while the fabric allows for breathability.

What is the length of the skirt?

The midi-length skirt falls to approximately 82cm, designed to provide an elegant and elongating finish.

Troubleshooting

Skirt does not hang correctly

Ensure the skirt is fastened properly at the waist. Check for any internal labels that might be twisted or out of place. Ensure you have the correct size; a too-tight or too-loose waistband can affect the drape.

Fabric appears creased after washing

Iron the skirt on a medium heat setting, following the care label instructions. Ironing while slightly damp can help remove stubborn creases. Consider using a steam iron.

Buttons feel loose

If buttons feel loose, it is recommended to reinforce them by hand-sewing them more securely. This is a common garment care task for longevity.
