Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, due to the silk composition, this skirt must be dry cleaned to avoid damage.
Does the skirt come with pockets?
The product design prioritizes a sleek silhouette and does not feature pockets.
What is the best way to store this skirt?
Store the skirt on a skirt hanger with clips, ensuring the waistband is flat and the fabric hangs freely to maintain the pleat structure.
Can I wear this to a casual event?
While the skirt is designed for formal occasions, it can be styled down with a simple cotton t-shirt and flats for a more contemporary, high-fashion look.
Does the skirt run true to size?
The skirt is designed to sit at the high waist; ensure you check your measurements against our size 18 guide to ensure a comfortable fit at the waistline.
Is the lining breathable?
Yes, the skirt is fully lined to provide comfort and structure while maintaining breathability for warmer weather events.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their structure
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner and request a formal press to reset the box pleats.
Wrinkles in the fabric
Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle several inches away from the silk surface.
Snagged threads
Do not pull the thread. Carefully use a small embroidery needle to gently guide the snag back into the weave of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt in optimal condition, store it hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the pleats from flattening. When traveling, use a garment bag to avoid crushing the fabric. Compatibility is best achieved by pairing this skirt with fitted tops, as the skirt already provides significant volume. Because this garment is made of delicate silk, it must be dry cleaned by a professional. Avoid home laundering or aggressive steaming, which may alter the texture of the fabric or the crispness of the box pleats.
