FAQs
What is the length of the Roman Straight Stretch Skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 50cm, designed to fall just above the knee.
Does this skirt have pockets?
The product description does not mention the presence of pockets on this skirt.
What material is the skirt made from?
The skirt is crafted from a bengaline stretch fabric, composed of 76% Viscose, 21% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane. It is also described as Stretch Jersey.
Is the waistband adjustable?
The skirt features an elasticated waistband for comfort and ease of wear. This provides some inherent flexibility in fit but is not adjustable with external features like a drawstring or buttons.
How should I wash this skirt?
The skirt is machine washable. For best results and to maintain its quality, always refer to the specific care label sewn inside the garment for precise temperature and drying instructions.
Can this skirt be worn for formal occasions?
Its straight style, decorative stitching, and solid purple colour make it quite versatile. While it can be dressed up with appropriate tops and accessories for semi-smart or business casual settings, it is primarily designed for everyday comfort and versatile styling rather than strictly formal events.
Is the purple colour true to what I see online?
Please note that colours can vary slightly depending on your screen settings and monitor calibration. The description refers to it as an "on-trend colour," indicating a contemporary shade of purple.
Is this skirt suitable for all body types?
The straight style combined with the stretch fabric offers a flattering and comfortable fit for many body types. It is listed as a Women's Regular fit and is indicated to be true to size.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or too loose, despite ordering my usual size.
The skirt is designed to be "True to size." Double-check your current body measurements against Roman's official sizing chart. If it's a new purchase, ensure you selected the correct UK size based on your measurements rather than just relying on previous garment sizes.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled after washing.
While machine washable, the fabric blend (Viscose, Polyamide, Elastane) may still show some creasing. To minimize this, tumble dry on a low setting and remove immediately, or hang dry the skirt as soon as the wash cycle finishes. A low-heat iron or steaming can effectively help remove any lingering wrinkles.
Colour seems dull or faded after multiple washes.
Always wash your skirt with similar colours to prevent colour bleeding and fading. Use a mild detergent specifically formulated for coloured garments. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Ensure you are consistently following the recommended washing temperature on the garment's care label, as excessive heat can contribute to colour degradation.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality, shape, and vibrant colour of your skirt for a long time, please follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Washable: Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for precise temperature settings, typically a cool or warm wash cycle.
- Use a mild, colour-safe detergent to protect the fabric's integrity and colour.
- Wash with similar colours to prevent any potential dye transfer.
- Do not use bleach, as this can damage the fabric and fade the colour.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang to dry to help preserve the fabric's stretch and maintain its original shape.
- Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid direct contact with any decorative details like buttons during ironing.
