FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for tall individuals?
This model is specifically designed with petite-specific proportions and a 95cm length, which may be shorter than standard maxi skirts intended for taller frames.
Can I remove the gold-tone safety pin?
The skirt includes detachable trim details, allowing for some flexibility in styling, though you should exercise caution when removing hardware to avoid snagging the satin.
What is the primary material used?
The skirt is crafted from high-quality satin, known for its smooth texture and light-reflecting properties.
How should I store this skirt?
It is best stored on a skirt hanger clipped at the waist to maintain the drape of the pleats and prevent unnecessary creasing.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
Due to the delicate nature of satin and the presence of metallic hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid damage.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the satin fabric
Use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting. Never place an iron directly on the satin as it may scorch the fibers.
Safety pin hardware feels loose
Check the fastening mechanism behind the fabric to ensure the pin is securely locked. If the attachment is damaged, consult a professional tailor.
Wrap style does not sit flat
Adjust the internal waist fastening or hook-and-eye closures to ensure the wrap layer is properly aligned with the pleated structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your skirt maintains its shape and luster, handle the satin fabric with care, avoiding contact with rough surfaces that could cause snagging. When wearing, ensure the wrap-style drape is adjusted correctly at the waist to highlight the tailored pleating. For care, always check the internal garment label for specific washing instructions, but generally, this item should be handled as a delicate; it is often best to seek professional dry cleaning. Store the skirt hanging by the waistband to prevent deep creasing in the satin material, and detach the decorative trim if packing the garment for travel to avoid damage.
