FAQs

What is the primary material of this skirt?

The skirt is made from a cotton-rich fabrication blended with a small amount of elastane for added comfort and ease of movement.

How long is the skirt?

The skirt has a midi length, falling approximately 82cm from the waistband.

Can I wear this skirt to a formal event?

Yes, the tailored cut and statement button detailing make it suitable for smart-casual events, and it can be elevated for more formal settings by pairing it with a structured blazer and elegant heels.

How should I care for the gold-toned buttons?

Gently wipe the buttons with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their shine. Avoid harsh cleaning products.

Is the skirt fully lined?

Yes, the skirt is fully lined to provide a refined finish and comfortable all-day wear.

What kind of tops pair best with this skirt?

Sleek, fitted tops, silk blouses, or fine-knit tops that can be neatly tucked into the high waistband work best to showcase the skirt's silhouette and detailing.

Does the elastane in the fabric affect the fit?

The elastane provides a comfortable stretch that aids in ease of movement without compromising the skirt's tailored shape. It helps the skirt adapt slightly to your form while maintaining its structure.

Troubleshooting

Skirt not laying flat or holding its shape.

Ensure the skirt has been ironed correctly according to care instructions. Check that it is fully dry after washing. For persistent issues, consider professional dry cleaning to restore the tailored structure.

Buttons appear tarnished or dull.

Gently polish the gold-toned buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners which can damage the finish. If the tarnish is significant, consult a jeweler for advice.

Fabric feels stiff or uncomfortable after washing.

This can sometimes occur with cotton blends. Try a fabric softener on a subsequent wash, following care label guidelines, or consider professional garment care. Ensure the garment is not over-dried.

  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent shrinkage and fabric damage.

  • Buttons: Clean gold-toned buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
